Brave the Depths of a Forgotten Kingdom


Beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth sleeps an ancient, ruined kingdom. Many are drawn below the surface, searching for riches, or glory, or answers to old secrets.

Hollow Knight is a classically styled 2D action adventure across a vast interconnected world. Explore twisting caverns, ancient cities and deadly wastes; battle tainted creatures and befriend bizarre bugs; and solve ancient mysteries at the kingdom's heart.




  • Classic side-scrolling action, with all the modern trimmings.
  • Tightly tuned 2D controls. Dodge, dash and slash your way through even the most deadly adversaries.
  • Explore a vast interconnected world of forgotten highways, overgrown wilds and ruined cities.
  • Forge your own path! The world of Hallownest is expansive and open. Choose which paths you take, which enemies you face and find your own way forward.
  • Evolve with powerful new skills and abilities! Gain spells, strength and speed. Leap to new heights on ethereal wings. Dash forward in a blazing flash. Blast foes with Fiery Soul!
  • Equip Charms! Ancient relics that offer bizarre new powers and abilities. Choose your favourites and make your journey unique!
  • An enormous cast of cute and creepy characters all brought to life with traditional 2D frame-by-frame animation.
  • Over 130 enemies! 30 epic bosses! Face ferocious beasts and vanquish ancient knights on your quest through the kingdom. Track down every last twisted foe and add them to your Hunter's Journal!
  • Leap into minds with the Dream Nail. Uncover a whole other side to the characters you meet and the enemies you face.
  • Beautiful painted landscapes, with extravagant parallax, give a unique sense of depth to a side-on world.
  • Chart your journey with extensive mapping tools. Buy compasses, quills, maps and pins to enhance your understanding of Hollow Knight’s many twisting landscapes.
  • A haunting, intimate score accompanies the player on their journey, composed by Christopher Larkin. The score echoes the majesty and sadness of a civilisation brought to ruin.
  • Complete Hollow Knight to unlock Steel Soul Mode, the ultimate challenge!




An Evocative Hand-Crafted World


The world of Hollow Knight is brought to life in vivid, moody detail, its caverns alive with bizarre and terrifying creatures, each animated by hand in a traditional 2D style.

Every new area you’ll discover is beautifully unique and strange, teeming with new creatures and characters. Take in the sights and uncover new wonders hidden off of the beaten path.

If you like classic gameplay, cute but creepy characters, epic adventure and beautiful, gothic worlds, then Hollow Knight awaits!

The game is almost perfect, but...

I mostly like the game. It has beautiful art and I like that authors have created interesting non-human world with some mythology and history. But I have some critics of it. 1. I like exploring and I wanted to see good story. Unfortunately nothing was clear at the moment when i have reached first ending. To understand everything what happened and game lore I have to go to internet and read about. Story was beautiful and solid but I wanted it to be clear from GAME, not from fans' WIKI. 2. I'm not gamer. And for me game shood be funny time. This game is sometimes superdifficult which is frustrating. Very difficult boses, very difficult areas with spikes. Most boses could be killed after you memorize theirs' attack and movement pattern and adjust own moving. For me it sometimes needs dozens and dozens of tries, before I manage to do it. I really can't understand why it should be so difficult. The worst of it after you have been killed you often need run for long until you reach boss again (and in process you will easily lose life or soul or even could be killed by usual enemies or spikes). After some time you will have teleportation that simplifies process but before this you will lose so many time! 3. You will recieve special sword attacks but they are so slow you almost never will use it against bosses. I thin game is not as hard as for example "Blashemous" but it needs either being cool gamer or have a lot of time. Some criticized it for bad map system, but I don't have problem with it. Exploring was fun and interesting until hardcore spikes and bosses areas. Also I dislike games with multiple endings. And of course to have another ending you have to read wiki and be hardcore gamer. This is again frustrating. With all of this I'm waiting for sequel.

Excellent

I own the Steam version of this game. If I could turn back time I would buy it from GOG. If you enjoy exploration, this game is a paradise. The game world is colossal, there are tons of enemies, bosses, and secrets to discover. Controls are tight and straight forward, making platforming around the world of Hallownest and fighting the hostile creatures it harbors a joy. Visuals are great, dank caverns and overgrown gardens come to life thanks not only to the artwork but the sound design that really develops the feeling of these areas. Leaves rustle gently as you walk through them, and water drops can be heard echoing throughout caverns. The game is worth every penny of its $15 price tag, and is a steal if it's on sale. I consider it a modern classic and highly recommend it.
