Shovel Knight Showdown Versus Screen

Shovel Knight Showdown Review | Super Dig Bros. Ultimate

By Alex Santa Maria

When Yacht Club Games put a four-player battle mode onto its Kickstarter stretch goals, the team probably didn’t anticipate it morphing into a wholly separate game. This was a bonus mode, a quick novelty to supplement the main campaign rather than grab the spotlight. However, much like the playable boss characters morphing into full-on new releases, so too did this multiplayer mayhem transform into 

  • Playing as every Shovel Knight boss is a fun novelty.
  • Chaotic game modes that play well with friends.
  • Matches are highly customizable.
  • Clunky A.I. and mandatory bonus rounds make the single-player campaign a drag.
  • Characters feel incredibly unbalanced.
  • Missing online multiplayer stings everywhere but Steam and PS4.
