These Are the Indie Games That You Should Be Playing Right Now

Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight may not have revolutionized the indie game market, but it sure did bring a lot of media attention to it. Shovel Knight got popular because of its massively successful Kickstarter campaign, raising over $320,000 in just one year. That, however, did not necessarily do the team justice, as they were still in the financial hole for nearly 5 years after the game was made. Don’t worry though, there have been 10 continuations to the Shovel Knight series following the original that brought them a ton of profit.
