King of Cards is a fun platformer with creative and fluid movement. The platforming is short but difficult, and I'm glad the platforming doesn't take a backseat to the Joustus gameplay. Joustus was fun to learn but I have no interest in mastering it or collecting all the cards. The game is full of cute references to other classic games that I actually get as well as adorable references to the rest of the Shovel Knight games. Very fun, but sad to finish off the Shovel Knight series.
