Wasn't a huge fan of shovel knight but this one has the juice 2D Zelda + Dark Souls/Elden Ring progression is dope. Some parts that feel way too hard become trivial when you get the right items/upgrades

Masterfully done videogame. This game will stand as one of the classics for years to come. Yacht Club does what its does best: creating a memorable world, really fun gameplay, a dash of challenge, and most of all: faithfully recreating nostalgic memories with the advancements of modern game design. My only gripe is some frame pacing issues that will no doubt be patched up by the time I go for a second playthrough. Oh yeah, Kaufman kicks ass once again with some absolute banger tunes

the best gameboy color game ever. if you enjoy old school topdown zelda art combined with tough as nails soulslike gameplay you will love this game. even if you don't like your games extremely hard there are lots of added cheats to make the experience easier.

Many illogical game design decisions. Do not recommend. Clumsy platforming.
