The reason I felt it was overpowered, was that for the most part, it could be used to take down the majority of enemies including the bosses. My two small problems with the game were that some of the auxiliary weapons didn't seem needed (maybe it was just the way I played), and the pogo attack move seemed overpowered. The D-Pad buttons took a little bit of getting used to, but after an hour or so of play, it felt like a good replacement for a D-Pad. The controls on the game were very responsive, even with the Switch's D-Pad buttons.
Not only did this provide a fun game mechanic, but it also provided ambience to those levels. The thing that stood out the most to me was the use of lighting on some levels. The retro 8-bit sound and art was well done too. They designed it in such a way that you felt finishing each level was achievable, which is was. Each level was difficult, but not to the point where you give up. Yacht Club Games did an outstanding job with Shovel Knight. While the Switch does not have the 3D that the 3DS has, it has a beautiful handheld screen and great sounding audio. The Switch version wins the match between the two, hands down, in my opinion. I previously played Shovel Kinght: Shovel of Hope on the 3DS, and now on the Switch.
The version reviewed here is part of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove for the Switch, which was provided by Yacht Club Games, to Cheerful Ghost in the form of a download key. It is a platformer with an 8-bit sound and art style. Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope is the original Shovel Knight game released by Yacht Club Games in 2014.
