About Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight follows the shovel-wielding knight against the Order of No Quarter to rescue Shield Knight. The campaigns ran from Shovel of Hope (2014) through Plague, Specter and King of Cards (2019). Pocket Dungeon (2021) and Dig (2022) spin off the formula.

Release order is the intended path. The Treasure Trove bundle collects every campaign.
