#AD | Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon 1st Clear playthrough as Mole Knight.
Labelled as #AD as I was given a Switch Game Key from Yacht Club Games. This video is not a paid sponsor.
I'm not an action puzzle guru but the bump to trade hits mechanic reminds me of Ys from a few decades ago.
The game has a bit of a small learning curve as going super fast isn't always the best idea. Paying attention to the layout, enemies' HP and your own HP are absolutely vital.
Mole Knight, one of the unlockable characters is very beginner friendly in my opinion, because he can bury underground and swap places to any adjacent object without losing HP which allows him to escape in situations where other characters* can struggle. His bury to swap mechanic also allows him to rearrange an enemy to a better position to increase the chain break.
*Unless they have an item to negate enemy counter attacks by various methods like a shield powerup or a sword powerup.
Playstyle mode: Rougelite.
