The Blade's Will Harrison: Shovel Knight sticks out among the throngs of nostalgia-based indie games thanks to an old-school aesthetic with the sensibilities and design of a modern title. Shovel Knight looks and sounds like a game of the NES console cycle, with sharp color palettes and one of the best chiptune soundtracks ever composed. Shovel Knight has taken the essence of old-school gaming and distilled it into something quirky, yet thoroughly enjoyable. Anyone that grew up a fan of Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog, or Mega Man will feel right at home with one of the best titles in recent memory.
