You're such a disingenous homosexual. I bet you felt so fricking clever typing that gay little thought out, ending with an ellipses in an attempt to appear "casual" in hopes nobody will call you out. Fricking homosexual.
Hollow Knight at least doesn't actually look like it stole the art assets from Metroid. This game might actually be sued for intellectual property violations.

I like how the main character is the only thing that doesn't look like it's straight out of Hollow Knight and it looks the worst out of everything on the screen at all times.
The most embarassing thing was when the Dev was asked when it will come out and he said "When its ready", literally what the HK devs said about silk song in the same quippy manner. Idk how people like this can look themselves in the mirror.
The "when its ready" line has been a HK meme for years because its what Team Cherry keeps saying. Maybe he was deliberately referencing it but it didnt seem like that in the interview, just seemed more like he really wants to be seen like them.
"when its ready" has been said by dozens of developers and companies
what kind of delusional child things its exclusive to a single indie game because it happens to be the first time they saw it?
But genshin and BOTW are nothing alike besides being 3D and this game clearly has a lot more in common with HK besides just being 2D. Even the art assets like the floor spikes and boomerang attacks look like they were lifted straight out of HK
>this is the most badass copycat of Hollow Knight I've ever seen
And it will be superior to it in every way. Get your troony Silksong women worship game out of my face
You have got to be kidding me dude >esoteric storytelling >desolate landscape and oppressive tone >focus on challenging bosses gating progression >rest stations and the entire respawn system >picking up your old soul and items in the area where you died
Yeah obviously the moment to moment gameplay is different because the combat models are their own thing, but in terms of overall game design Dark Souls is easily the most reminiscent of Hollow Knight beyond other games in the 2D metroidvania genre even

>Dark Souls invented
Where did I say that
Call of Duty didn't invent military shooters but you are high if you don't think that it was the primary influence for half the FPS games released during the 2010s
I like Dark Souls, too, but the games are nothing alike. Hollow Knight is far more whimsical, forgiving and accessible, not to mention they play nothing alike.
>dont like bloodstained >dont like blasphemous >the only vanias that ive liked recently are HK and DC
what do i play. waiting for all these new games is killing me
dead cells is pretty tough for some people but i never really thought the game was tough outside of bosses. granted i havent gotten past 1 boss cell (NG+) when you go beyond that it gets tougher
Ender Lilies?
is the combat slow in that? i didnt give it much attention when i heard about it
It wasn't too bad from what I remember. You can customize different weapon sets based on the playstyle you want/what you need to unlock new areas. There are slow weapons like the hammer and fast weapons like throwing knives.
>dead cells is pretty tough for some people
I have never seen 2 bosses in a single run yet. It feels like every area past the third is just made to kill you instantly unless you have a purpose built meta build or something

*too hard
Even the freudian slip got me, i can't overstate how easy DC is
It's crazy how Ganker shits on Returnal just because it has an old woman protagonist on the PS5. It's such a good game and it nails so much of what I love about video games. Arguably my GOTY last year.
Holy Shit! Two Cakes!
I don't really give a shit about the artsyle, I'm more interested in if they've managed to copy Hollow Knight's world size and exploration
This anon knows what’s up, just more vidya to play if you like hollow knight. Even better if it comes out before silksong so I have something to play as I wait.
Hollow Knight already felt a bit uninspired with how much it takes from Dark Souls, but this is just a straight rip-off of HK mashed up with Bloodborne. How does anyone get excited for this setting/aesthetic, the only appeal is gameplay.
This doesn’t have any of the soul that HK has. Of course, Hollowtrannies will still play it even if it is a shameless ripoff, its literally paying a cheap hooker for a quick pent up frick because your wife has been off somewhere else getting filled by a black dude for 3 years.
This has to be a first time anomaly. I have never seen anything that is so blatantly a ripoff while still having actual quality and effort. There was no reason to be so blatant with a talented team.
the flash-like cartoon art style just completely clashes with the atmosphere, theme, and mood they're going for
Also, >hey our game is called "Crowsworn" so what better way to communicate that than to give our character le ebin cool plague doctor mask!!!
lol, sometime you don't have to beat the player over the head with unsubtle symbolism
Played the demo they sent out. It's basically halfway between hollow knight and a 2D souls game. Your character feels much heavier and you're punished more for bad timings. Saying it's just hollow knight (other than the artstyle) is not really correct.
When are one of the backergays gonna upload this demo? Watched a video of it and the constant screen shaking on every attack looks annoying as frick, maybe it's not as noticeable when you're playing though.
It's pretty funny how butthurt hollowgays get whenever another game tries entering the genre. They were pissy about metroid dread, and now this. Go put some worms down your urethra if you like bugs so much 🙂
>implying I haven't wishlisted both
So is there a release date?
this is the most flagrant copycat of Hollow Knight I've ever seen
and hollow knight is a copy of Metroid, so...
You're such a disingenous homosexual. I bet you felt so fricking clever typing that gay little thought out, ending with an ellipses in an attempt to appear "casual" in hopes nobody will call you out. Fricking homosexual.
savage
Anon I want to be on your side here, but it's embarrassing how much you're seething.
Based.
This is a blatant rip off of HK and I will not be buying it.
Hollow Knight at least doesn't actually look like it stole the art assets from Metroid. This game might actually be sued for intellectual property violations.
The spikes are a literal copy paste lmfao.
>hollow knight invented spikes
sounds like kojima worked on hollow knight
Team Cherry has already come out and said they don't mind and they support the devs.
no, it's a copy of castlevania
nobody copies metroid because it's an antidraw nosales series
even with covid boost dread had a mediocre performance
What a feminine little b***h
Based
I like how the main character is the only thing that doesn't look like it's straight out of Hollow Knight and it looks the worst out of everything on the screen at all times.
I just finished Hollow Knight (63% lmao) today and agree. It looks like the areas were copy and pasted.
You wish, tendie.
The most embarassing thing was when the Dev was asked when it will come out and he said "When its ready", literally what the HK devs said about silk song in the same quippy manner. Idk how people like this can look themselves in the mirror.
im glad we finally got a game that copied HK in a good way. ive felt like replaying HK but i never get through it
>when its ready
what else do you want from them? if they dont know the release date then they dont know.
The "when its ready" line has been a HK meme for years because its what Team Cherry keeps saying. Maybe he was deliberately referencing it but it didnt seem like that in the interview, just seemed more like he really wants to be seen like them.
"When it's ready" began with Guild Wars 2. Silksong inherited it. Unlike GW2, I hope Silksong is worth the wait.
"when its ready" has been said by dozens of developers and companies
what kind of delusional child things its exclusive to a single indie game because it happens to be the first time they saw it?
This is like saying Genshin Impact is a flagrant copycat of BOTW. It just doesn't make any fricking sense no matter how you spin it.
But genshin and BOTW are nothing alike besides being 3D and this game clearly has a lot more in common with HK besides just being 2D. Even the art assets like the floor spikes and boomerang attacks look like they were lifted straight out of HK
>This is like saying Genshin Impact is a flagrant copycat of BOTW
It is
It’s not
>indies are flagrant copies of AAA games of yesteryear
>GOOD
>indies copying other indies
>NOOOO NOT LIKE THAT??!!?!?!
oh shut up.
So? I want more of it. They just have to execute it well.
It sure is. But that's also why I want to play it.
No release window still? Oh well.
I remember their kickstarter saying 2023 but I honestly doubt that.
>No release window still? Oh well.
truly the silksong of metroidvanias
I'm fine with that because I'm going to pirate it anyway and I'm always looking out for decent metroidvanias.
>red body
>white mask
if you squint it looks like silksong
>this is the most badass copycat of Hollow Knight I've ever seen
And it will be superior to it in every way. Get your troony Silksong women worship game out of my face
>this is the most flagrant copycat of a flagrant Dark Souls copycat I've ever seen
Hollow Knight is nothing like Dark Souls, why do people keep saying this.
It is literally exactly like Dark Souls
Which is not a bad thing as Dark Souls is great
I own both and it has nothing in common with the game. The frick are you on anon?
You have got to be kidding me dude

dude..... you drop yo money on death....
that's literally dark soules the hardest game ervr existing!!!!!
Because Dark Souls invented dark atmosphere, checkpoints, boss fights and corpse runbacks.
Shouldn't have taken all those vacations in between "developing" Silksong then you fricking Aussie cuck
This is all indie devs make, copies of copies of classic japanese games.
>waaa it looks like Hollow Knight waaaa
Who gives a shit. Looks fun.
>dont like bloodstained
>dont like blasphemous
>the only vanias that ive liked recently are HK and DC
what do i play. waiting for all these new games is killing me
What's DC?
dead cells
Thanks. Just finished HK and loved it, disliked the ones you mentioned disliking as well. Will check out Dead Cells.
dead cells is pretty tough for some people but i never really thought the game was tough outside of bosses. granted i havent gotten past 1 boss cell (NG+) when you go beyond that it gets tougher
is the combat slow in that? i didnt give it much attention when i heard about it

I have never posted about Dead Cells before now.
Donkey Cong
Dead cells is a rougelite, not s metroidvania. Don't bother.
I like roguelites, too. Returnal was great.
It's crazy how Ganker shits on Returnal just because it has an old woman protagonist on the PS5. It's such a good game and it nails so much of what I love about video games. Arguably my GOTY last year.
I hope it comes to pc, has there been any hints of it or “leaks”?
Agreed, but once it comes off the PS5 to PC I'm sure more anons will give it a fair shake.
Pretty sure it's been leaked. And Sony themselves have been very open about porting their catalogue. Returnal should show up eventually.
Blasphemous is kinda mediocre honestly, the game got carried hard by its artstyle
Ender Lilies?
noita
pfff hahahahaha
I got memed into buying this shit
It sucks
filtered
so you don't like vanias, you like 2d souls games.
I dont like vanias
I like metroid-likes
Nah, otherwise he'd be playing Salt and Sanctuary
I am here to shill Souldiers
>Souldiers
I just got that game, it’s great. Heard it was stupidly hard before a patch a week ago. Great looking game and very fun.
I haven't played since the patch but yeah it was a real asskicker
Touhou Luna Nights is kino. Also you should give Symphony of the Night and Super Metroid/Zero Mission/Fusion a try. They're all fun in their own ways.
How about Axiom Verge?
The rope game
I think you guys may actually be moronic and not just pretending for (You)s.
Bad artists copy, great artists steal.
YES! frick you silkfart morons
I'll just play both, this actually looks pretty fun.
the gun is cool as frick
also the DMC kick and air dash lmao
Holy Shit! Two Cakes!
I don't really give a shit about the artsyle, I'm more interested in if they've managed to copy Hollow Knight's world size and exploration
This. Combat and aesthetics is well and good but what always got me with HK was how much I loved exploring that world.
This anon knows what’s up, just more vidya to play if you like hollow knight. Even better if it comes out before silksong so I have something to play as I wait.
Hollow Knight already felt a bit uninspired with how much it takes from Dark Souls, but this is just a straight rip-off of HK mashed up with Bloodborne. How does anyone get excited for this setting/aesthetic, the only appeal is gameplay.
ONLY GAMEPLAY OMEGALUL WHAT DO YOU MEAN THATS THE WHOLE GAME THE GAMEPLAY
Go back.
the movement looks like absolute stuttery shit
its literally just hollow knight
And that’s a good thing
2bh i don't even know why people like hollow knight so much, it's an incredibly mediocre game
>new hollowlike game
rad
This doesn’t have any of the soul that HK has. Of course, Hollowtrannies will still play it even if it is a shameless ripoff, its literally paying a cheap hooker for a quick pent up frick because your wife has been off somewhere else getting filled by a black dude for 3 years.
This looks nice and I get the "inspiration" but I don't understand why they didn't at least the artstyle even a fricking little bit.
Silksisters... did we just get MOGGED?
I like the the more aerial silksong combat so far.
I want to frick Hornet so much.
This has to be a first time anomaly. I have never seen anything that is so blatantly a ripoff while still having actual quality and effort. There was no reason to be so blatant with a talented team.
>israelitestarter anniversary
>still unreleased
I'm sure they appreciate your shekels, goy
Do indie devs have no shame
They just released a boss fight demo for backers.
It mostly looks cool but I'm not crazy about what looks like a spammable iframe roll. I think HK got it right with the shade cloak cooldown.
anyone got a magnet link for the demo?
An asset flip
Hollow Knight and its consequences have been a disaster for the metroidvania genre.
Opposite
>every game just copes it without understand the originals soul
every time
It looks like silksong because it's a unlockable character and this is all some ARG shit
I'll give it a shot. Better a guy with a gun than a bug.
the flash-like cartoon art style just completely clashes with the atmosphere, theme, and mood they're going for
Also,
>hey our game is called "Crowsworn" so what better way to communicate that than to give our character le ebin cool plague doctor mask!!!

>top hat
>plague doctor mask
>big cape and scythe
peak reddit aesthetic
if Team Cherry is going to take a decade for every HK sequel, then I will gladly welcome anyone who makes a solid copycat game.
You know you can just play both games right?
This looks cool. Only think the contrast between the backgrounds and characters is a bit off, but still fine. I will play it.
When are one of the backergays gonna upload this demo? Watched a video of it and the constant screen shaking on every attack looks annoying as frick, maybe it's not as noticeable when you're playing though.
It's crazy this isn't even the first hollow knight ripoff
lmao I think I remember playing a demo of this. This is that chink ripoff of HK right?
looks good. i will play
It's pretty funny how butthurt hollowgays get whenever another game tries entering the genre. They were pissy about metroid dread, and now this. Go put some worms down your urethra if you like bugs so much 🙂
Looks like a well made game, but it way too much of a blatant copycat for my tastes. Feels uninspired.
>ripoffs hollow knight which rips off dark souls and metroidvania
oh no, anyway
Aren't there former Team Cherry devs on this anyways?
Same marketing/PR guy but that's it.
It's been half a fricking decade already you morons. Stop seething about Hollow Knight.
Christ, the way his cape just kinda balls up looks fricking awful.
Anyone have a demo rip?
a new hollowvania? I'm down
holy kek imagine if hollowvania actually caught on
>these are the "people" using it
nevermind

Wtf? The spikes and the background are literally copy pasted from Hollow Knight?
