I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!

Along these lines I’ve already played:

  • Shovel Knight
  • Celeste
  • The Messenger
  • Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)

Does anyone know of any I’ve missed? They don’t necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.

    DuckTales or DuckTales 2 for the NES playable in the Disney afternoon collection. TBH most of the games there should be your jam based on Shovel Knights influence.

    Hollow Knight based though, Guacemelee is good, not sure about its sequel. Axiomverge too. But they are metroid like games so Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion would be another recommendation.
