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!

Best metroidvania ive ever played

Game is super captivating. Awesome design. super dificult but fun. As soon as you get the second sword upgrade the game gets more fluent lol You'll die a lot, get frustrated, but every minute is worth it. Game is so good the sequel is a guaranteed buy. Gettting two copies for my self and family.

Too Good.

Everything about this game is phenomenal - the visuals, atmosphere, level of difficulty, combat, story/backstory, controls, bosses, map, upgrades, and so on. It's one of my top ten games of all time. Initially, I played it for 30 minutes and was not really drawn in. After a few months, I tried again and played for an hour, and then for another 300 hours. And then I watched Youtube videos about the backstory. Don't think, just buy.

WOW

This game is awsome and the developers deserve an applaud. Hollow Knight has meny merits, but one that stays with you most is probably the atmosphere. Dark, sad, weird, abut it manages to sneak in humor too. 10/10 for me.

A Game I Will Always Go Back To

I grabbed this game on steam first in a sale because I saw it being betaed a few years back. I'm not sure if it was the art style, the ease of the combat, the inventive lore or the variety of environments, but something about this game spoke to me. Now I have it through GOG and I keep it saved away on a thumb drive so I will always have it, regardless of my circumstances, because I will never get tired of this game.

Absolute Masterpiece

Two or three guys and a composer? Jaw dropping. It's perhaps old news, now, but for anyone who hasn't played it and is thinking "Hmm, that looks interesting." There is a story that is well told. The music is nothing short of world class. My younger son wanted me to mention the charms, and my elder son (who is still struggling with The Radiance) wanted to praise the system of upgrades. My daughter (who is older than them and busy with school) wanted me to mention the grubs. For me, the golden combo of beauty, (re)play-ability, and story make this one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I've had (and I've been at it since Space Invaders). Looking forward to Silksong!!!
