And here I though the argument would spin around the "Knight saves princess" trope, because it feels sexist how she couldn't save herself despite being a knight and still needing a male knight to do it.

people actually have complained about that.

Despite the story being she was just fine, but corrupted.

And the fact that, yknow, she's literally invincible gameplaywise as she has shields on both arms.

which IMO, is pretty cool as far as gimmicky funny weapons go.

It's a shame Shield Knight is not an unlockable character. I have to wonder how she'd play in regards to Shovel Knight. Probably a lot of Shield-bashing & slicing.
