Shovel Knight King of Cards

Shovel Knight: King of Cards is the largest, most lavish chapter of the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove collection, and a regal prequel. You pull on the gilded boots of King Knight and leap, Shoulder Bash and twirl your way toward a kingdom to call your own, gathering subjects, besting challengers and discovering how he ended up on the throne at Pridemoor Keep. (Owners of Treasure Trove do not need to buy it separately.)

King Knight's flashy style runs on barreling about, ricocheting and flinging his bulk into things, taking down enemies and obstacles head-first with the Shoulder Bash. Woven through the adventure is Joustus, an all-new collectible card game built specially for this title: you put together a deck, hunt down more than 120 distinct cards, see off challengers and claim the title in every House of Joustus.

While you cross the skies chasing the Joustus Crown, you pile up treasure, heirlooms, suits of armor, new abilities and loyal followers, and prove yourself across fresh Feats and Challenge Stages, including boss rematches and hand-built platforming trials. It carries Yacht Club Games' finest 8-bit-inspired visuals, another masterful soundtrack by Jake 'Virt' Kaufman, balanced gameplay welcoming to newcomers and experts alike, and a New Game+.
