This bizarre currency is used to unlock more upgrades that Plague can purchase with treasure - alchemy ain’t cheap, y’know. If you see any shining green coins floating around then try to collect them. Our dear alchemy obsessed friend also has unique secret areas and collectibles. This small change makes combat completely different, it turns into a game of keep away where you cascade explosives on your enemies. Plague Knight also differs from his spade wielding foe because he has a ranged attack. Unlike Shovel Knight, Plague’s jump is much shorter but he makes up for this with a little double jump and his ability to blast-jump. It’s the same levels and enemies but Plague Knight’s new abilities and play-style make it a unique experience. This game plays unshockingly just like Shovel Knight. Shovel Knight’s a heroic guy with a lot of regret but Plague Knight is my favorite of the two. And - it makes no sense saying it here but trust me - it’s a delight to watch him dance. In an Undertale-Esque fashion it’s plain to see how he got caught up in all this and what sort of person he is. Every little interaction reveals more about what sort of person Plague Knight is, why he joined the Order, and what he means to do with the Ultimate Potion. It’s competition was Undertale (Mac and PC), Armikrog (PC, Mac, and Linux), and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.)ĭo you remember when I said Shovel Knight was the platformer I was most emotionally invested in? I may have fibbed a bit because it’s Plague of Shadows that really had me following characters and reading really deep into minute pieces of dialogue. Plague of Shadows was released on September 17th, 2015.

It and all other additional chunks of content are FREE so if you purchase Shovel Knight expect a ghostly present and a crowned present arriving in your future. As such, Plague Knight’s expansion was the first to be released. There was a giant poll for which members of the Order they wanted to play as and Plague Knight, Spectre Knight, and King Knight were the top three. That being said, Yacht Club expected to make DLC campaigns but they didn’t know which characters to use… so they asked the fans.

If you want a fuller story of Yacht Club Games and the creation of Shovel Knight then check out the Shovel Knight Review. The real question though, is what he means to do with the mighty concoction once it’s made. With the Ultimate Potion nearly within his grasp you take control of the masked maniac himself, Plague Knight, as he journeys across the land to defeat his so called ‘comrades’. Unfortunately he’s missing nine vital ingredients, which happen to be nothing less than a portion of each of the essences of the other knights in the Order, the Enchantress, and Shovel Knight himself - that’s right, this game takes place during his adventure.

With it, anything could be his - and I do mean anything. The eccentric alchemist, Plague Knight, has hatched a scheme to create the Ultimate Potion. The Order of No Quarter isn’t exactly as united as we were lead to believe in the events of Shovel Knight. Heads up, this review assumes that you’ve read my previous review about Shovel Knight so click here to check that out.
