Agreement—

Shovel Knight Dig feels more like a tip-toe into the roguelite genre than a full-blown effort, but it's still more Shovel Knight, which is great.

Agreement—

Featuring the same excellent 2D platforming of the original Shovel Knight, albeit turned 90 degrees and fit within the genre of a roguelite, Shovel Knight Dig is yet another certified hit in the Shovel Knight franchise.

Agreement—

Shovel Knight Dig takes everything that was fantastic about the retro platformer and recontextualizes it into a roguelike that's hard to put down.

Agreement—

Shovel Knight Dig is another triumphant and enjoyable entry in the popular indie knight's growing legacy, offering up thrilling, challenging gameplay that will appeal to fans both old and new. Though it may be a little on the short side, every minute of Shovel Knight Dig positively oozes quality, whether that be the snappy action-platforming or the fresh 16-bit art style and animation. We'd give this one a high recommendation to anyone who enjoyed the original platformers or to anyone looking for a tough (but not offputtingly tough) new roguelite. Shovel Knight Dig has got it where it counts and can stand tall beside its noble predecessors.
