Back in the 90’s shows like Captain Planet and the original
Power Rangers, would have heroes combine their efforts to form something so
legendary that people would remember it for years to come. Well when it comes to the 8-bit era, if a
gamer were to combine some aspects of Mega Man, Ducktales, Castlevania, Zelda
II, and Super Mario 3 all into one game, you would get Shovel Knight. The first game designed by yacht club games,
Shovel Knight is an old school 2d sweeping platformer that takes the best
aspects of the 8-bit Era and jumbles it all into one game.
