SeekerShovel Knight Dig
Shovel Knight Dig is yet another treasure dug up by Nitrome and Yacht Club Games that successfully turns the series’ signature 2D side-scrolling action into excellent 2D side-falling action. The procedurally generated levels are expertly designed, and though the roguelite progression elements leave a bit to be desired when it comes to motivating further runs after you’ve completed one, the focus on risk-and-reward choices make for a supremely satisfying experience the whole way through. It’s a short delve (albeit with a very well hidden post game) and it’s not quite as groundbreaking as either of the Spelunkys as far as spelunking roguelike’s go, but Shovel Knight Dig is still a gem.
