Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows

[BardicKnowledge]

The free new content for Shovel Knight is fantastic so far.  They completely reworked the campaign and didn't just make a character playable, but made a _context_ for why that character is playable.  As a result, the game feels fresh and fantastic in a way I wasn't expecting.

 

What are everyone else's impressions thus far?  And my record is four bomb jumps in a single leap

I'm still struggling to get a handle on Plague Knight's controls in all honesty, but I have only played through the Plains of Passage so far so I've got plenty of game left to get the hang of it. I keep screwing up the bomb jumps, mostly by not going in the direction I intend. I do like the changes that were made to the story to allow for Plague Knight to be the playable character. I hope the new music is made available soon.

Hoping to find the time to check it out asap! Ditto on the music.

The Plague Knight story is more difficult but I'm starting to get the hang of jumping and such. I really like that it's a completely different style of play compared to working with Shovel Knight. The amount of new content is staggering!
