Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is a prequel to Shovel Knight, where you take on the role of Specter Knight, the Enchantress's loyal servant. The game is designed for Play Station 4 and falls under the category of action games. With Specter Knight's scythe and agility, you can glide across the ground, climb walls, and command an arsenal of curious weapons. Your mission is to create the Order of No Quarter by recruiting knights, and in return, you may regain your lost humanity and break free from the Enchantress's chains of servitude.

The game offers a balanced gameplay experience for both newcomers and experts. It features an awesome soundtrack by Jake "Virt" Kaufman and a somber tale told with humor, levity, and heart. The gameplay is centered around Specter Knight's motion and action, where you can climb walls, leap over gaps, and dispatch enemies with the Dash Slash. You can also collect and upgrade curios to unleash all new special attacks. The game offers Feats and Challenge Stages featuring boss rematches, platforming challenges, and more!
