this is a good nitrome game but pretty boring in comparison to other roguelikes. the core gameplay loop is fun enough, but my baby brain needs more flashing colors. overall, it's an okay buy on sale

Shovel Knight Dig is an absolute gem of a roguelite. I love how it takes the classic Shovel Knight formula and reimagines it into a fast-paced, replayable experience. The roguelite structure keeps every run feeling fresh, with new paths, surprises, and upgrades that make it hard to put down. Even when you fail, you’re immediately ready to dive back in for “just one more run.” The controls are incredibly tight and responsive. Movement feels smooth and precise, which is essential for a game that demands quick reactions and smart positioning. Digging downward at high speed while dodging enemies and hazards feels satisfying rather than frustrating, and that balance is hard to get right. And the music? Absolutely fantastic. The soundtrack pumps energy into every run and perfectly matches the retro-inspired aesthetic. It captures that classic Shovel Knight vibe while still feeling fresh and exciting. Overall, Shovel Knight Dig is a brilliant twist on the series — addictive, polished, and packed with charm. If you enjoy roguelites with tight controls and amazing music, this one is an easy recommendation.

This game is fun....when it is most like Shovel Knight. The roguelite elements are not that great. You don't seem like you progress much after every run. However, I found myself coming back for more each time so it does seem like there is some sort of addictive gameplay loop here. One thing is for sure, Steam Deck owners can get a lot of mileage out of the arcade-styled nature of the game. The music by Jake Kaufman is excellent. I don't think there is a single tune in this game I don't like. It's definitely a strange spinoff to Shovel Knight that is worth checking out a discount. Just don't keep your expectations too high though.

Shovel Knight's hop to 32-bit is spectacular. What you love of the original game is present and more with the roguelite dungeons keeping you entertained and the challenges to perfect yourself as you progress in the simple yet charming story. My only complain is the auto down shovel strike that you as default unlike the previous game where you could just press down yourself but the game play is built around the mechanic, you can get used to it. The graphics are as beautiful as always, looking polished and bright with the help of Nitrome. The bosses are fun and challenging, harder than Shovel Knight's previous games but far from impossible. The items from previous games are back with even more to explore, obtained through minigames, in shops, or hidden in chests throughout the adventure. The sound design is amazing and Jake Kaufman's music keeps the vibe of the blue knight perfectly. There is a lot of post-game content to explore and replayability is very encouraged. 4.5/5 rating for me and you should play it if you like random dungeons, treasures, and shovels. 100% recommend checking it out yourself and Yacht Club Games's other titles. I already tried out Mina the Hollower demo and I'm loving it, can't wait for the full release
