MTB: I don’t know what it is about the downward thrust that makes it so compelling. There’s something about the combination of jumping on someone’s head and driving a sword through their skull that just makes me want to keep doing it. I did it all the time in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Super House of Dead Ninjas, and I’m going to be doing it lots more when Shovel Knight comes out. The folks down at Yacht Club Games have set out to design an entire game based around the move; one that draws inspiration from Mega Man, Ducktales, and just about any other NES action game that’s worth your time.
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Yacht Club's Shovel Knight, CGM takes a brief look at its legacy.
Yacht Club games brought their A-game to IGN Live and sat down with us to speed run their way through Shovel Knight. Join us as they put their skills to the test and see if they can beat their own records.
These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
