I was furious trying to play the game without the shovel jump, but now that I got the hang of the burst jump I live Plague Knight so much.

get your friends who own shovel knight to play it so yacht club sees the achievements letting them know people are actually playing this stuff they are releasing for free

buy it for friends who dont own it

I told my friend who already owns it about it but he got frustrated on the first level and stopped playing. Stupid bitch

i beat the first level without realizing that as well as jump and bomb jump, you can double jump. this made some of those early jumps really hard

Plague Knight with the default loadout is pretty drat fun. He is an extremely stylish platformer character. I think I'm gonna try and speedrun his mode, I just need to practice propeller knight.

Edit: Also there's no alternate ending that I could see if you never learn to dance. Dancing was all I was really missing doing the penny pincher/naked plague feats.

TBH the only modification to his bombs that are worth it are the component bombs(makes a huge explosion if you throw three bombs into one spot, great for everything and p much a straight-up upgrade) and the screw attack burst. everything else has a huge downside for little gain, or something thats super situational

Cascade bombs are super good for bosses that stick to the ground, and I really like impact fuse. Aside from that his default stuff and the component bombs are the way to go.

That said, using the pandemonium cloak which lets all bomb types have 3 max makes the other bombs really drat good.

Well, that's one part of what it does. The other part is randomizing your casing, powder, fuse, burst and arcana along with your sprite colors every 10 seconds or so.

Speed trick: While flying forward, if you're going to hit an enemy turn around in midair to get knocked the direction you want to go, instead of getting knocked backwards. Flying through the pitch black sections of Spectre Knight's stage is badass.

im wondering if theyll just end up creating new cities and altering the world map so they dont have to keep doing weird things to explain why bad guys can go there

maybe king knight will just bribe the guards

plague knight's story was very neat and high quality. it didnt feel like they just shoved him in as a playable character and treated his interaction with the other villains as an afterthought. i have faith in them for future characters and hope they charge for it because i wanna give yacht club money

Seriously, when I heard about the expansion I thought this was just going to be some kind of neat gimmick I'll try out and go, "oh, neat" but then I downloaded it and yeah, it's fully integrated and well done and with a cute story and everything. I am so jazzed for the future expansions

I did a multi-segment speedrun to try and get a baseline for all the levels and this is what I ended up with:



Now I'm going to try a single segment run and hope that I don't completely gently caress up against propeller knight. Going fast with Plague Knight is so fun.

my only complaint about the DLC is that all of the bosses are chumps since you can just sit back and bomb the poo poo out of them from a safe distance

except for the Shovel Knight boss, who is designed to be a total dick to you and counter everything you try which is loving cool lol

the bosses were pretty easy in the base game too since u had a lot of health . but it was harder on hard difficulty
