Dark Adventure - Let's Play Hollow Knight Part 1 Blind Playthrough/Gameplay (PC Indie)
5Today we're playing Hollow Knight, a side scrolling and dark indie Metrovania game. Hollow Knight features a dark atmosphere and precision platforming/combat. Hollow Knight is something that I've been interested in all year but haven't had the opportunity to be able to play the game. There are many people who have praised Hollow Knight as one of the best games of the year which just makes me more anxious to play it. I know next to nothing about the game itself so I'll be going into it Blind. Join me as we discover what's underneath the dark underground in this wonderous Blind playthrough of Hollow Knight.
From Wikipedia:
Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania video game developed and published by Team Cherry. The game was initially released for Microsoft Windows in February 2017, and later for macOS and Linux in April 2017.[1] A port for the Nintendo Switch will also be released in 2017. Development was partially funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, raising over A$57,000 by the end of 2014.[2]
The game tells the story of the game's titular Knight, on a quest to discover the secrets of the long abandoned insect kingdom of Hallownest, whose depths draw in the adventurous and the brave with the promise of treasure or the answers to ancient mysteries.
Hollow Knight's gameplay is primarily focused on exploration, platforming and combat. 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 generally hidden somewhere in that area, 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. Saving the game can only be done on benches to rest on found throughout the world.
The game's combat is focused around using the Knight's nail, a weapon that resembles a sword, to strike enemies above, below, or to left and right. The nail can be upgraded to do more damage as the game progresses and can also gain special attacks by focusing energy. Many areas have a 'boss' enemy that the player must defeat in order to continue, and there are 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. Striking enemies repeatedly also earns the player SOUL, a resource that can be used to either heal from damage or unleash special abilities such as long range spells and blasts.
If the player is killed, they respawn at the last place they rested/saved, lose all their Geo and the ability to hold the maximum amount of SOUL. They must then return to where they died and defeat their Shade in order to recover the currency and SOUL limit.
