If you owned Shovel Knight before the release of Specter of Torment, then your copy of the game was automatically upgraded to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, which contains this DLC. That’s a bold move by the developers since Specter of Torment could have been a standalone title, in my opinion. In fact, that’s why I bought the DLC through The Humble Store. Yatch Club Games continues to impress, and they deserve to be paid for their hard work. If you enjoyed the original Shovel Knight, or you have a nostaligic itch you want to scratch, give this DLC a spin.
