So glad 16 year old me bought it on my 3ds!

Still an issue. They genuinely just need to release plague of shadows standalone or as a dlc for the standalone Shovel of Hope.

Well done video. I just bought Shovel Knight a week ago and just finished the main campaign Shovel of Hope. Looking forward to playing the other games.

I have not watched the video. Yes it is. Even if there is evidence it isn't I simply reject this reality and substitute my own

King is king. His design is so dope and he does fancy spins.

And here i was confused why i couldn't find it in the eShop

The description mentions possibly deleting the video of this ever gets fixed. I don't think you should. I think the video should stay up as a documentary of sorts.

kinda upset yacht club is further worsening this problem with shovel of hope DX, now there's gonna be three seperate ways to purchase that original campaign and none of them are feature complete. people are gonna have to double dip if they want to experience all the shovel knight content, assuming plague of shadows is still locked to treasure trove, and that just sucks :(

I personally like the game I picked up the treasure trove to start with. Got it cheap. I like the game a lot, it's hard but not too hard so that's cool. I should by a standalone to support the developer at least one since I got it 2nd hand.

What the heck. I got this game for like what 15 bucks when it was new on wii u?! And then plague of shadows was first of 4! Free dlcs! It was one of the few games that made me turn my head and go, "theyre giving me all THIS!? FOR FREE?" so... plague of shadows deserves more credit. I had fun with it.

My friend actually went through this without realizing it, and also to the comment on the end: I played King of Cards 1st and then Specter, Plague, then Shovel purely for the canonical order

this video is three years old and this issue has still not been fixed despite two more shovel knight games being released. they should either release POS as its own game or include it with SOH is YCG feels like its not its own game...

i bought it right at the beginning and was always so surprised when an update came out (did not followed the road map) and when I noticed, yes! another one 🎉 until today I love the series. ❤

I thought that shovel of hope standalone comes with plague of shadows for free.....

Yes, I will also add that Ian Mcdiarmid, (Palpatine) is a Shakespearian actor.

Why aren’t they all just purchasable as DLC?

They gave spector a serious plot and A LOT more backstory. But KOC is still just such a fast and good platformer. Like you say plague movement is good but it doesnt feel as satisfying. Plus:KOC story is goofy filler backstory IT NEVER MEANT TO BE AN ULTIMATUM

I love every shovel Knight campaign but Plague of Shadows is nowhere near on the level of specter of torment or king of cards. While I can agree it's not strictly "playing shovel Knight as a different dude", it's pretty close to that. It's not so much a sequel as it is an extremely elaborate new game+. The lack of a standalone release makes perfect sense, cuz if I owned Shovel of Hope and then bought plague of shadows by itself, I'd definitely feel a bit ripped off compared to buying one of the other campaigns.

I bought them all separately and beat them all and didn’t realize you couldn’t buy pleage of shadows separately so I’m like Jimmy here stuck missing one game because of this.

Something similar-ish happened to me with Witcher 3, I bought the Base Game and the DLC "Hearts of Stone" in 2015, the next year "Blood and Wine" came out, didn't feel like shelling out the money at the time, so I waited, then the "Complete Edition" came out soon after which included the Base Game and all DLC, I didn't want to buy the game again I just needed "Blood and Wine" to complete it. I waited for a sale and the "Complete Edition" went on sale, but the DLC didn't?! the "Complete Edition" on sale cost just as much as the DLC "Blood and Wine" not on sale and I couldn't bring myself to buy it out of basic principal of paying the same price for less stuff. Still annoys me to this day thinking about it, I did end up buying "blood and wine", it went on sale eventually a few years after

Damn, that explains why its so expensive if I want to buy it on pc since it was so cheap on xbox when it was only shovel of hope and plague of shadows

Heavy persona vibes

I took fell into this trap and gave a horrible review because of it. It is truly unfortunate that they have such a bad grasp on the players.

i have shovel of hope standalone but there is no discount on treasure trove

I remember playing shovel night back in 2014 and never playing it again, but recently i said "eh why not" and decided to buy shovel knight to play it again after like 9 years. I was super confused with the standalones at first but thankfully after doing some research i noticed that pos wasnt available in standalone, so i just bought treasure trove hoping id like the game. Thankfully im enjoying shovel knight a lot, definitely one of my favoritr games now and happy i didnt end up buying standalones only to notice a whole campaign was missing.

Will my choise was always if you buy the standalones don't spend 40 bucks on plague of shadows it's not worth it in my opinion (for context I have treasure trove and I completed pos 100% both normal story and game +)

Man, I was just about to do this. 😅

I’m so glad I bought treasure trove without buying any of the others because plague of shadows is in my option the most fun to play

As someone new to shovel knight and just beat shovels of hope and started plague of shadows i will say the other 2 games might have more original levels but since plague knight plays so differently than shovel knight i love him he is best knight. Edit: i finished them all and still stand by my original point

bro its been 2 years where you at 💀

What does Canon mean?

My personal list is as follows 1: *Plague of Shadows* - I bought the 3ds version shortly after the free update as a gift for myself. I had already played Shovel Knight’s campaign and enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would. Enter PoS, with my favorite story, favorite characters, I loved looking at the old level design and asking myself how I would get through it. I used float burst for my first run through, got everything, loved it. Played it again going for the “no-upgrade, no spending, no tonic” achievements and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It’s so exhilarating to dash through the air with this mobility! PoS is also the only one I did the hard campaign. I loved it that much. 2. *Specter of Torment* - this one probably handles the best no question. I can only count on one hand the amount of times I did something I didn’t mean to. Fast paced, fun as heck, the revamped music and bosses made my soul sing. I was engaged in the story the whole way through. 3. *Shovel of Hope* - it’s fun, it’s challenging, but screw instant kill hazards with a rusty shovel. The only reason I beat this game at times was the phase locket. This was the only time I hated the auto-scrollers in this collection. Good story, though basic. 4. *King of Cards* - honestly… I might just need more time with his controls, but I REALLY DON’T like how short his levels are sometimes. I’m the kind of person who if possible wants to collect everything the first go through, so when you add secret exits that I sometimes mistake for the ACTUAL direction it’s supposed to go, I’m not enjoying it. Joustus is fun… at first. Then you encounter the card bosses with their BS powers. And sometimes it feels like you need to buy booster packs to stand a chance even if you go out of your way to collect every card in levels. I don’t like that mana upgrades and heirlooms require the same currency. Specter of Torment AND PoS handled it better. Story… it’s funny I guess? We already know what’s gonna happen. King knight is too arrogant to achieve the good ending. The level design is fun for the most part… but I got fatigued in the later half and just wanted it to be over.

From crowdfunded to scummy greedy tactics. Makes one feel it's justified for people to pirate the game. Also did you see their crowdfunding options towards the end? $2,000 Visit the studio and have an all-night party with the whole dev team!! Plus, all previous rewards! (Travel and lodging expenses are not included) Backers - 0 $5,000 Yacht Party with The Yacht Club! Plus, all previous rewards!! (Travel and lodging expenses are not included) Backers - 0 Now imagine you showing up with the thought that all of it was funded using your money lol. Rented yacht btw 😂

Adding to how very consumer friendly Yacht Club usually is: I still think about how amazing it is that I got four of these five games completely for free when I bought the initial game. I have never heard of any other developer being so obliging to its customers. I was supplied with quality games for six years after making a single purchase of like 15 bucks in 2014.

They said they planned to make a standalone version of Plague of Shadows in 2017, it’s been 6 years. Over half a decade. I’m disappointed in them.

And they still haven’t done anything. I think they probably won’t ever do anything at this point sadly.

I had already bought Spectre + King of Cards as standalone on Switch and instead of completing it with Shovel of Hope I had to buy the whole $40 on top of the $20 or so I'd already spent. Feels a bit scummy and anti-consumer. I got all the content but had to double dip and rebuy content AGAIN that I already owned

propellor rat sequel when?

insane that this existed, glad I just bought treasure trove by pure chance lol

what an unfortunate predicament for my favourite game in the series

2023 and this is still a problem. (yes i'm that person that got to the boss rush in PoS no hit and proceeded to give the fuck up)

I only see people buying there favorites in there ken Like I would buy the specter of torment since it’s one the only ones that let you pick bosses megamsn style and that freedom pleases me

Fact here: phase locket is the locket from specter of torment

Its been two years, standalone plague of shadows is not coming.

It's Shovel Knight Dig! On PS4 and Xbox. Let's see how fast this comment will age. Anytime now...

Why wouldn't they want people to get Plague Knight Mode??? Plague Knight is a precious little awkward nerdy scrunglebundle and I love him.

I love shovel knight.

solution: pirate shovel knight treasure trove if you made the mistake

This is such a helpful and informative video. Thank you got educating me on this topic. I remember clearly that I almost ended up buying shovel of hope a couple of times in the past, but opted to go for Hollow Knight instead haha.
