King of Cards is easily the most different than the other Shovel Knight games for various reasons. This was a nice breath of fresh air, especially when it comes to having completely different level layouts. It's insane how many different level mechanics are in this game, as it reworks old ones to fit King Knight's moveset while still introducing a plethora of new objects and mechanics. The card game wasn't much of a highlight for me, but luckily it's not required unless you're going for 100% completion. This game is yet another great 2D platformer that fans of the original game, as well as fans of similar series such as Wario Land, should check out.
