Hollow Knight is a 2D side-scrolling action adventure video game in the Metroidvania style. It was developed by Team Cherry and released for Windows PC on 24 February 2017[1] and is also being developed for Mac[2], Linux and Nintendo Switch[3]. Development was funded by a Kickstarter campaign and the game was self-published on PC by Team Cherry.

Gameplay

Players explore a large interconnected world using a variety of movement and combat techniques. In classic Metroidvania style there are areas of the world that the player cannot access until they obtain particular items or abilities. Maps for each area must be bought from a shopkeeper, and the player can also buy upgrades that place markers on the map or allow them to reveal parts of the map as they explore. Each area has a 'boss' enemy that the player must defeat in order to continue, and a number of sub-bosses that drop useful rewards or upgrades.

Defeated enemies drop Geo, a currency that the player can use to buy items from shopkeepers. If the player is killed, they respawn at the last place they rested and lose all their Geo. They must then return to their corpse and defeat a ghost in order to recover the currency. The player also earns 'Soul' by attacking enemies, which they can then spend to recover lost health. Health can also be recovered at hot springs, which are located around the world, or by resting at a bench.

Story

The town of Dirtmouth is almost deserted, its insect inhabitants drawn to an ancient, forgotten kingdom beneath the surface in search of treasure or the answers to ancient mysteries. The player plays the Hollow Knight, a tiny warrior who arrives in the town in mysterious circumstances and must venture into Hallownest to lift the curse and restore the town above.

Criticism

The GOG version lags behind the Steam version in updates. There is an arena bug in the 1.0.0.5 version that causes players to fail to reach 100%. It is preferable to get the Steam version.
