What’s most surprising of all is the price. For owners of the original Shovel Knight, this new campaign is totally free. Specter of Torment can be purchased as a stand alone campaign for $9.99, but we recommend buying the complete experience. For $24.99, you’ll get the three available campaigns as well as upcoming King Knight campaign and any future campaigns. We can’t recommend it enough.

For veterans of Shovel Knight, Specter of Torment won’t take you too long to run through, but there are plenty of good challenges to tackle through the in-game achievement system. For newcomers, I’d say that this is the best iteration of the Shovel Knight formula to date. Yacht Club Games continues to hit it out of the park, and I’d recommend this campaign to anyone who wants to experience what the best of 2D platforming has to offer.
