Same here. Decided to give the ol' original SK another go, only to be greeted with an update that added no less than two extra games to this already excellent game. And a third to come. Surely some of the best value for money since the purchase of Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlaccfood Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I didn't get far into Plague Knight. Just doesn't feel good to play as that character. Looking forward to the Treasure Knight release though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwock Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Release date: yesterday. (presumably, it downloaded the update to my PS4 but it was already past bedtime so I didn't check it out). Feels like we've been waiting about two years for this one! edit - I'm referring to the Treasure Knight campaign, no idea if that Dig thing is included as that looks like a major mode in itself.

donpeartree Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The King Knight campaign is really good so far. Levels are shorter, bite-sized chunks and King Knight has an interesting rhythm that makes traversing through levels pretty fun (barge into bounce into barge into bounce). The card game, Joustus is surprisingly good, too. Yacht Club really know how to do expansions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasawas Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Is the Plague Knight DLC worth persevering with or is it just the main game with a more awkward character? I've done a couple of levels but I'm not really feeling it. I still have the other two DLCs to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remix idea is pretty cool, but like you said, he's quite awkward to use. I enjoyed it, but if you're not (and if you've got the full collection), move onto Spectre Knight. He's very fun to play as. The campaign is quite streamlined and feels a lot more unique. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I bought Shovel Knight back when I first got my Switch and got through the main game in between bouts of Zelda. Having enjoyed it I found the Plague Knight DLC too tricky and not worth persevering with, so moved on. I had no idea more DLC had been released over the course of the past few years! Spectre Knight is absolutely brilliant fun to play as - dashing around with the scythe attack works so well, in complete contrast to the plodding, awkward style of Plague Knight. And there’s another DLC pack just sitting there after this! Blimey. Treasure Trove? Pleasure Trove, more like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you have to beat the card boss to carry on? I might be done. Shame as I was really enjoying the normal levels. King Knight is really fun to play as.

Stick with it, the whole campaign is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was almost tempted about to buy the fighting game separately before noticing the “showdown” option had appeared in the main menu of this.

carlospie Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm on the last boss of the base game, absolutely loved this game. So simple yet we'll done and the music is exceptional. Can't wait to get straight into the dlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezycold Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just finished King of Cards finally, it was great! Easily my fav of the bunch. I went back to Shovel of Hope after to see the difference and it was so harsh and frustrating in comparison. I’d love even more of this wonderful new highly refined level design.

Darwock Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Joustus is ticking all the boxes for me, it's grabbed me in exactly the way Triple Triad did in FFVIII. I'm more interested in finding characters with unique cards than I am in doing the platforming. It was difficult to win consistently until I had nabbed some strong cards, and the cheats you can buy from Chester helped with that in the beginning (not sure it would have been possible to defeat the wandering boss cards otherwise).

Jamie John Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Is the base game of King of Cards exactly the same as the original and Plague, except now you're the golden King character, and there's a card game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwock Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 No, and neither was the Spectre Knight one. It's built from the ground up for that character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I’ve been getting a bit fecked off with Cuphead’s monstrous difficulty so came back to this to try my hand at King Knight’s DLC. While the platforming is as lovely as ever, and KK’s way of moving and attacking is just as uniquely satisfying as the others, the card game can absolutely just do one. I’m completely shit at it. It’s a bit like Into the Breach in this regard - I’m terrible at seeing the opportunities to place a card on the board and awful at predicting what the opponent might do in response. I lack the patience and forethought to make a good go of it I know the rules and what I’m supposed to be trying to achieve but fucked if I know how to do it - I managed to beat Black Knight but only by using a cheat card. Any advice gratefully received but if it gets much harder later into the game I don’t think I’ve got it in me to persevere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwock Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You're not going to beat Black Knight without a cheat unless you've already won more powerful cards than his - I'm certain that there is no shame in using the cheat options (especially as you can still lose after doing so!) in those early stages.

Darwock Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I’m surprised (and disappointed) they still have to use Kickstarter. It worked out really well for Shovel Knight with all the extra content we got, but how come they can’t get proper funding with all that talent?
