290938, Go get SHOVEL KNIGHT right now.
Posted by hardware, Fri Jun-27-14 01:15 AM
this game is amazing
if you like megaman/castlevania style games, this is your jam
hit the 3DS today and i believe the Steam version is out there too.
Graphics solid
Controls extra solid
Platforming is really inventive
Difficulty spike is nice
i'm actually kinda shocked at how good it is. its like creepily balanced and solid.
but yeah, go buy that joint ASAP
if you got a 3DS, the street pass multiplayer is pretty cool on the off chance you streetpass with somebody with the game at some point.

290939, I saw the quick look. Seems pretty cool.

Are they making a Vita version? I'm kinda hesitant to buy downloadable stuff on Nintendo systems because that shit doesn't really transfer over to anything if my 3DS breaks.

290944, it'll probably hit all the other platforms in the winter

they're gonna roll out all the Wii U and 3DS updates first i believe
but yeah, this shit is great. it actually really feels original and doesn't lean on nostalgia like a lot of other indie games.

290945, Heard about it on the Game Informer show earlier.

303859, It’s more akin to a Megaman game
Posted by hardware, Fri Sep-07-18 07:04 AM
Not really much Metroidvania in it at all
|
303889, Yea, or a Vania without the Metroid part

I liked it a lot. Love the Switch for games like this.
