Yacht Club Games is finding all kinds of ways to keep the Shovel Knight love alive. Last year, it unveiled Shovel Knight Dig, and it's now announced another spin-off title starring the spade-wielding hero. Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon had its debut earlier today, and it's an interesting departure from the norm.
As you can see in the trailer, the game is an intriguing mix of drop-down puzzler and dungeon crawler. Each time you move the titular character, dungeon elements such as enemies and chests fall from the top, and you'll need to clear space by picking up loot and attacking foes. Like any regular action game, there are items to collect, bosses to fight, and a variety of levels to conquer -- it's just played through the lens of a puzzle game.
We like the sound of this one, but with no date attached, it could be a while until this one surfaces. There are currently no platforms officially confirmed, but seeing as PlayStation uploaded this to its own channel, we have a feeling PS4 is a safe bet.
What do you make of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon? Do you like this mix of action and puzzler? Drop into the comments below and let us know.

Shovel Knight is a fantastic game & character. Not a fan of how much they've pimped him out over the years though, & doesn't look like they're stopping anytime soon. So no thanks!
That being said, I'd be all over a Shovel Knight 2!
Doesn't look bad but I think Shovel Knight Dig looks better, this one looks like a mobile game, nothing wrong with that but it's not my cup of tea
Actually looks kinda fun.
I'm interested in all things Shovel Knight related. That game hit my nostalgia so hard, I'm a fan for life. That remixed soundtrack sounds great too.
