Developed by VINE, Yacht Club Games · Published by Yacht Club Games








Shovel Knight and other heroes enter the mysterious Pocket Dungeon, where Puzzle Knight guides their attempt to escape. Each run sends you through dungeon stages filled with enemies and bosses.
The action unfolds on a falling-block-style grid: bump into enemies to trade damage, group foes for chain attacks, and collect keys, power-ups, and potions to restore health. You can also equip items during a run to shape your loadout.
More than ten playable heroes have distinct abilities and play styles. Adventure Mode sits alongside competitive two-player Versus, Daily Challenges, and other challenges, with characters, equipment, and additional content to discover.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its fast, engaging puzzle-combat loop, the distinct play styles of its characters, and the appeal of replaying runs and challenges. Reviews also praise the pixel art and music. Some players find the runs repetitive, the difficulty punishing, or the blend of real-time action and puzzle play hard to enjoy.
