Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania-style action-adventure game that takes players into the underground world of Hallownest. Once a mighty kingdom, it is now filled with ruins, crazy creatures, and buried secrets.

Hollow Knight Game Story

Players take on the role of a small character holding a nail, starting their journey from the village of Dirtmouth, then gradually exploring the giant cave system below. During the journey, you will meet many interesting characters, such as cartographer Cornifer, merchant Sly, warrior Quirrel, or the self-proclaimed great Zote. Each character brings small pieces of the story and the dark setting of Hallownest.

How to play Hollow Knight

The gameplay revolves around fighting with nails, accumulating Souls when attacking enemies and using them to heal or cast magic. The initial map is blank, forcing players to buy a rudimentary map and take notes by themselves using quills and compasses. Unlocking new skills like dash, wall jump or attack magic will gradually open up previously inaccessible areas, true Metroidvania style.

Along the way, you will face many enemies and giant bosses, from warriors protecting the remnants of the kingdom to creatures deformed by the effects of a mysterious disease. Each battle requires observation, quick reflexes and sometimes patience.

Hollow Knight is attractive not only in its gameplay but also in its mysterious atmosphere. Music, images and indirect storytelling through characters, environments, and even small items all contribute to creating a world that is both beautiful and tragic.
