Features
A brand-new show with a brand-new Shovel Knight story! When Drill Knight and his evil digging crew blow up Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his stuff, he grabs his trusty Shovel Blade and starts digging after them!
- The first adventure of Shovel Knight, with high-quality pixel graphics and sounds. The most convincing Shovel Knight world yet, thanks to smooth animation, scaling, rotation, and parallax.
- Each adventure is unique! Shovel Knight Dig’s levels have been carefully made, and then they have been stitched together using special generation techniques so that they can be played over and over again.
- You can now jump, slash, and dig in a whole new direction: down! Use your trusted Shovel Drop, then use the brand-new Speed Shovel mechanics to dig through huge areas of dirt. As you go deeper into the earth, your power and wealth will grow. If you come out with a lot of money, you can use it to upgrade your Shovel Knight gear and get more permanent items. There are a lot of new Knights, characters, and enemies, but don’t worry! Shovel Knight Dig has the stories, humor, and maybe even some familiar faces that are typical of Shovel Knight games. Jake Kaufman, who is an amazing virtuoso, has made another exciting soundtrack in a new style.
- This is the first time pixel masters Yacht Club Games and Nitrome have worked together.
Shovel Knight Dig is now available on the eShop for the Nintendo Switch.
