Yacht Club Games has announced the release of Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment on Steam. What’s really cool here is that Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is included with all versions of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. As such, owners of the first game will get this one for free.
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is the action-packed prequel to Shovel Knight. In this game, players take control of Specter Knight, servant to the Enchantress, in a quest to recruit a cadre of knights and create the Order of No Quarter.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Climb walls, leap over gaps, and dispatch enemies with the Dash Slash. Specter Knight’s playstyle brings motion and action to the forefront!
- Collect and upgrade curios to unleash all new special attacks.
- Test your scythe skills with Feats and Challenge Stages featuring boss rematches, platforming challenges, and more!
- Yacht Club Games’ beautifully authentic style bridges the gap between yesterday and today. Design, art, and audio hearken back to the days of 8-bit.
- A somber tale told with a light touch to narrative with humor, levity, and heart.
- Awesome soundtrack by Jake “Virt” Kaufman!
- Balanced gameplay is a warm welcome to newcomers, and an old embrace for experts.
