I played through a level of this and it's pretty cool. I need to get used to the wall sticking because it messed up some of my jumping but I like his air dash attack a lot

it plays a little weird at first but by the time you're on the 2nd or 3rd level you feel like a ninja. they did a great job designing the stages around how you flow too

I suck at that random tower minigame

Took me like a dozen tries and I got so close on the last few that I was ready to go mad by the end

Just finished the game, it owned all of the bones

I am really impressed with how new the game feels and how intuitive the dash slash is. It felt natural right from the start.

The coolest thing about the ongoing shovel knight support is that it's recreating the feel I never got to experience where there was a new Mega Man game every year for like 6 years straight

SOme of them are kind of too easy because the way specter attacks let you float and destroy them constantly, but there are some like Tinker and I think it was Polar that had the cool pillar gimmick, that play into Specter's movement that are sick as hell

the bosses in this all really own. also im going through NG+, the levels in spectre are a bit shorter and faster paced so less checkpoints ain't so bad. using it to collect the skulls i missed..

in shovel and plagueknight, it doubles damage received, replaces most healing items with bombs, and cuts down the amount of check points a lot (theres still always a checkpoint b4 bosses though)

in spectre it does all that and combines HP and MP into one jumbo bar that constantly drains so you kill fast or you die

extremebuff

one little merciful thing about NG+ is that the draining can't kill you, just leave you at death's door

still, you should record yourself clearing levels that way, especially some of the tougher bosses. half the bosses in this game are not loving around and with that healthbar they'll 2shot you

Alright, sure. This will give me an excuse to do the levels in one shot without dying in them.
