About This Game
Hollow Knight is a masterclass in atmospheric exploration. Beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth lies Hallownest, an ancient insect kingdom consumed by a mysterious infection. Armed with a nail and an indomitable will, you descend into sprawling caverns teeming with hostile bugs, forgotten ruins, and sorrowful ghosts. Every new area — from the lush Greenpath to the crystalline peaks — brings a fresh visual identity and audio palette.
The combat is tight, responsive, and deeply satisfying. Charms collected throughout the world let you tailor your playstyle: stack soul-recovery charms for a spell-heavy approach, or equip damage boosters and dash extenders for aggressive melee rushes. Boss fights are highlights, ranging from agile duelists to screen-filling nightmares that demand pattern mastery and split-second reflexes.
With over 40 hours of content in the base game and four free expansions adding bosses, quests, and the brutal Godmaster gauntlet, Hollow Knight is one of the greatest indie games ever made. Team Cherry poured love into every frame of animation and every haunting piano note, creating an experience that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
