Who's you're favorite character from the Shovel Knight universe?
Probably King Knight or Specter Knight. Drill Knight is also great.
Playable character: Specter Knight
NPC: Troupple King
I love all of them!
At least all of the major characters for sure
King Knight
Donovan and Dark Reize
Really good documentary. Learned a lot about the series that I didn’t know. I remember hearing about each DLC coming out but impressed with how much work they put into them. Very well done. Only issue I had was some of the background music was a bit loud in certain parts which made it hard to hear your narration.
Thanks for your feedback!
4:56 “even longer *knights*” 😂
This is a great documentary! I’m loving it so far!
Thank you!
This is genuinely one of the greatest games I have ever played, they knocked it out of the park
This was very well done and I would love to see more videos like this. You did a really good job!
I appreciate it!
This was really engaging honestly. Hoping you get more attention with this one. 👍
Thanks friend
That inspired me to make my own video Games as well!
it's about a Blue Witch in a Zany wonky world that's inspired by 2D Sonic, Wario land, & Donkey Kong Country with the charm of Crash bandicoot, Spongebob, & Xilam
How does this only have 1k views? Amazing video
I agree with both your points
good Video 👍
Thanks!
I love Shovel Knight :) One of my favorite games honestly, and of course I'm a big fan of the NES classics it drew inspiration from. Perhaps the only downside to the game now is that 100%'ing is quite a tall ask with four campaigns now. It was less daunting when it was just Shovel Knight by himself.
Great work on the documentary, enjoyed every minute of it.
This is an excellent video, man! Easy sub for me, this channel is destined to sky rocket.
Your kind words mean a lot!
Everyone at way forward is smacking their head right now 😂

@@WesDoesGamesfor turning down the developers request to work together
I smiled so big when you brought up the Arby’s kids meal toys that I have the full set of in front of me on my desk
I wish I had gotten them when they were around!
@@WesDoesGames it was well worth the like 10 kids meals i got all at once and split with some friends
Excuse me, but I literally have a mission to "collect" every possible official image of Mona ever made. So, do you know where I can find the concept art featured in 39:42? She looks adorable
It's been a while but I believe the sketches came from the official art book of the game. Search for "Shovel Knight Official Design Works" book. I could be mistaken though
Great video!
Something i have noticed is how shovel knights hieght differs on the media and i think it works well as in games his short stature makes bosses more intimidating but in posters or art work his height being equivalent to sheild knight makes him stand out more
Its kinda like kirby and the characters in his game constantly changing size
I hope there just keep the blue buriers size ambiguous
I think him being short is cute. He's a confident little shorty
How does this not have more veiws? This is amazing! Great work, you've earned my subscription!
I appreciate it friend!
OMG! At 28:30, I clipped that on twitch. Someone else posted it on Reddit and it went viral. Wow!
Are you saying the smash bros clip is yours? I'm confused
excelente documental, shovel knight llegó a mi vida en el 2019 y vino para quedarse 🙏💖
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video btw I hope it will get more attention eventually
I just think you should lower the music's volume a bit so your voice would be easier to hear
Good to know! I may revise this video someday once I've figured out audio mixing a little better
