Shovel Knight for Nintendo 3DS

About Shovel Knight for Nintendo 3DS

Shovel Knight is a joyful platform adventure about a brave little knight armed with a mighty shovel. When the evil Enchantress and her Order of No Quarter seize the land, Shovel Knight sets out to defeat her knights and save his lost partner, Shield Knight. The game looks and sounds like a treasured classic from the eighties, yet every level is built with modern care. Its world is full of humor, heart and secrets, and it quickly became one of the most loved indie games of its time.

You run, jump and bounce through themed stages, using the shovel to dig treasure, defeat enemies and pogo across hazards. Each boss knight has a personality and a pattern worth learning, from the proud King Knight to the wild Plague Knight. Gold you collect buys meals, armor and relics like a fishing rod or a phase locket that grant new powers. Checkpoints can be smashed for extra treasure if you feel brave. Tight controls make every mistake fair and every victory sweet.

Here is the current buying picture: the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so Shovel Knight is no longer sold there as a new digital purchase. A physical cartridge is the answer, and the Nintendo 3DS edition turns up at game shops and online sellers. Owners of the digital version from before the closure can still access their purchased games whenever they wish. The handheld version suits the game beautifully for trips and short sessions.

Shovel Knight is modern platforming dressed in classic clothes.
