Review of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon
Players will join Shovel Knight on his new journey in the Pocket Dungeon as the blue man himself. Shovel Knight must join up with the Puzzle Knight to gather five key components and plot their escape when a cube locks him and many others in this impossible location.
The platforming action from the Treasure Trove collection has been replaced with a roguelike-puzzle hybrid playstyle, so players won’t be hopping and bopping this time. Players will traverse an universe of continually descending foes, potions, blocks, traps, and riches in a grid-like arrangement as they try to find a way out. Players may do damage and heal up or heal up by moving into any specific object, with some sustaining numerous hits. It’s similar to the mechanism in Dragonward, which we gave a positive review to a few years back.
There are, however, a few important guidelines to follow. For example, by lining up and chaining strikes, gamers may eliminate whole groups of foes. It’s also possible to travel quickly to increase one’s gem meter, which means that those who take their time will end up with a lower gem meter.
Once you’ve saved up enough money, you may go to Chester and pick up a variety of relics that change with each run. This is where the roguelike features truly shine, as with the appropriate build, the titular Shovel Knight may soon become an absolute beast. There’s also the possibility to play Glitzem’s relic chance game if you’re feeling fortunate. No matter what kind of gamer you are, you’ll find precisely what you’re searching for here — at least in good time.
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon’s appeal stems from the fact that it can be played in a variety of ways. Want to enjoy its riddles while avoiding death? There’s a way to do it. Are you more of a renegade who worships the religion of permadeath? There’s also a choice for it. For those who are successful in solving this puzzle, there is even an Endless Mode.
While fans of both the puzzle and roguelike genres will like this game, its combination results in a unique end product that incorporates the best qualities of each. Whether you’re a Tetris Attack addict or a Hades fan, your ability to manage threats will be your most valuable ally.
To keep things interesting, gamers will go to various places, each with its unique set of threats. Players must bear in mind the qualities of lava, lightning, explosives, griffins, ghosts, and a variety of other enemies as they go. Those that rush into combat, even if they have limitless lives, will find the board cluttered and lacking in clear battles. Players will have to figure out what everything does, which will keep things interesting and force them to be vigilant.
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon offers a scoreboard, daily challenges, and a vs mode for those seeking replayability. There are also a number of achievements (called “feats” in-game) scattered throughout the game.
Puzzle games and frantic roguelikes may seem like apples and oranges, but Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon blends the two genres into a tasty smoothie that appeals to all tastes.
