Shovel Knight swings into Blade Strangers as its next guest character

Blade Strangers is getting stranger by the second!

Nicalis, Inc. continues its surprise announcement spree for Blade Strangers by enriching its roster with the presence of none other than Shovel Knight, the star platformer from the game of the same name.

Shovel Knight boasts an impressive sprite size, particularly in contrast with Isaac from Binding of Isaac, another surprise character that was recently revealed. Shovel Knight certainly looks like a fighter to reckon with, even judging by his size and reach alone. Nicalis also recently announced the guest characters Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt, and Quote from Cave Story.

It won’t be long until Blade Strangers releases this summer on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Until then, check out the shovel-rous soldier for yourself below!

Guild Wars 2 – Diving Into Underwater Combat Changes

My feelings about underwater combat in Guild Wars 2 could always be summed up in a simple statement: It’s the best underwater combat I’ve ever experienced in any MMO, but it is still terrible. There’s a ton of variables which come into play underwater. After all you are literally surrounded by water and the developers must translate the feeling of moving, and fighting, through water well without making the experience feel unbearable. There’s really a narrow margin for success.
