Shovel Knight The Definitive Soundtrack
Les fans et les professionnels de l'industrie ont fait l'éloge de Shovel Knight pour ses visuels rétro-2D charmants, son histoire humoristique, ses personnages amusants et sa conception de gameplay solide, qui se sont tous réunis pour offrir un jeu à la fois nostalgique et très moderne. Les efforts de Yacht Club Games ont porté leurs fruits lorsque Shovel Knight a remporté le prestigieux prix du «meilleur jeu indépendant» aux Game Awards 2014. La bande originale du jeu, composée de Jake Kaufman et Manami Matsumae, fait partie intégrante de l'identité moderne et rétro du jeu et a été également salué pour ses arrangements exceptionnels, ses mélodies mémorables et sa forte composition technique. Cette bande-son définitive contient toute la musique du jeu original Shovel Knight sorti en juin 2014, avec une liste de morceaux en vinyle conçue par Jake Kaufman lui-même. La pochette et le gatefold intérieur ont été conçus exclusivement pour la bande originale d'Hitoshi Ariga; une interview avec le co-compositeur Manami Matsumae; et des illustrations de personnages du jeu.

Shovel Knight began as a modest, yet highly promising Kickstarter project in March 2013. Billed as “a groundbreaking love letter to 8 bits!” by Indie developer Yacht Club Games, this 2D side-scrolling platform game released in June 2014 to universal praise and accolades.
Fans and industry professionals praised Shovel Knight for its charming retro-2D visuals, humorous story, fun characters and strong gameplay design, which all came together to offer a game that is nostalgic yet very modern. The efforts of Yacht Club Games paid off when Shovel Knight was won the prestigious “Best Independent Game” award at The Game Awards 2014. The game’s chiptune soundtrack, composed by Jake Kaufman and Manami Matsumae, is integral to the game’s modern-retro identity and has been similarly praised for its outstanding arrangements, memorable melodies and strong technical composition. This definitive soundtrack contains all music from the original Shovel Knight game released in June 2014, with a vinyl tracklist crafted by Jake Kaufman himself. The package cover and inner-gatefold have been designed exclusively for the soundtrack by Hitoshi Ariga; an interview with co-composer Manami Matsumae; and character artwork from the game.
