IndieCade 2013: Shovel Knight is like Mega Man meets Zelda II

Posted on by Gamer Horizon Classic Import

One of the games of IndieCade 2013 that really stood out to me was Shovel Knight by Yacht Club Games. It’s a side scrolling action platformer that looks a lot like a Mega Man game, but plays a lot like Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I spent some hands-on time with the demo, and I can honestly say it’s as fun as it looks! Give the trailer a watch and get ready for some retro goodness!

On consoles, Shovel Knight is exclusive to Nintendo and is coming to Wii U and 3DS. It will also be available on PC, Mac and Linux via Steam.
