Shovel Knight at first sight looks like a NES game owing to its retro 8bit appearance, and is in many ways a shoutout to the 80s and early 90s. In addition to the fact the graphics were influenced by the NES era, the gameplay is also inspired by games from the past such as Megaman, DuckTales and even Super Mario Bros 3. With 3D effects switched on the background stands out more than usual, but due to its 8bit presentation it doesnt make a huge difference to playing in 2D".
