I gotta be honest, seeing games heavily inspired by hollow knight, from art, to music and even gameplay mechanics, isn’t surprising at this point. And it’s a welcome thing. This game doesn’t even look like a knock off copy, it a genuine thing that’s taken inspiration from a beautiful game to make something else just as beautiful. I think this might keep me happy for a while
Really? I played the Voidwrought demo on Steam and Hollow Knight when it was free for a weekend or so on Switch. Really liked Voidwrought, but didn't click with Hollow Knight at all. What heavy inspiration do you (and many others apparently lol) see? Honestly, I see more parallels to Dead Cells, but without the Roguelike elements.
@@seseiSeki the movement system, healing system, combat system, art style and music style, as well as many of the themes presented in the game, are nearly identical, it just takes on more out of the gate dark and dreary tone. As opposed to hollow knight which takes its time to set the scene and shows off well how hallownest is a long dead and abandoned kingdom. However my criticisms with voidwrought would be that it dives into things a little too quick, ambushes you with a lot of information almost immediately and the movement system has a little bit of jank to it
@@OctozenX Thanks for your insight. Though I'd say Movement feels more fluid in Voidwrought than Hollow Knight, healing in Voidwrought is just Dark Souls. A number of "potions" that refills at checkpoints. Combat is like Castlevania with a Dark Souls dodge roll with tons of i frames instead of a backstep. About the art style, Hollow Knight uses way less colors and backgrounds look completely different. Music in Voidwrought also takes more of a center stage than the rather ambient tracks of Hollow Knight. In general Voidwrought feels more linear than Hollow Knight. Looked at some gameplay for a refresher and remembered everything from Voidwrought. The person who played Hollow Knight went into a completely different direction and entered areas I didn't see at all when I played the game. The lore dump at the beginning of a Metroidvania is pretty common. That probably goes back to Super Metroid with Samus' long Monologue or Castlevania Symphony of the Night's wall of text when starting the game and then either letting the environment do the storytelling or inserting some writing or NPCs to deliver more info.

The last one of these types was path of the teal lotus. That one deadass looked like a silk song clone. It was… fine I guess. Play prince of Persia the lost crown
@@Unknown_User174 Obviously I meant the full game, when it's released --- you know, if I like the demo. Switch prices are always around double the price of the steam versions.
@@matthewvice721Just wanna let you know cause I downloaded Bakeru and Emio: The Smiling Man Famicom Detective Club demo versions for free on the Eshop. Just to give those games a try so I’ll buy those games in the future.
It looks good, and the developers must be talented, but it’s a shame to see so much of the art style and even themes copied directly from Hollow Knight. Give the game your own identity!
To be fair, I can only see the movement as somewhat the art-style being similar. The designs definitely look different, though, which is making me all in for this and Crowsworn looks like the alternatives I'm here for, personally.
@@RedLion800 The art style doesnt even really seem very Hollow Knighty tbh, its more remiscent of Darkest Dungeon if anything, the only thing i can point to being somewhat HK-esque is the shockwaves and the spikes.
@@momentaryretrospect5967 The background design looks like Hollowknight to me with the mask doors, spike pits, etc. The only thing that looks original is the characters.
@@momentaryretrospect5967all of the skill effects, and animations look copied from the game. I saw a few symbols that were directly copied from hollow knight also.
@@zealousamourous I guess that’s fair on the background, the fact that this has more inside environments seemingly compared to Hollownests more open areas makes it hard to compare their styles to
Damnit team cherry this Hollow Knight spin off looks good... So good this spin off is about to take my coins and with a demo?! Damn team cherry wheres the demo for that FabricTrack game we all been waiting for?!
Nintendo sueing palwolrd makes it look like a laser corporation you didn't make a Pokémon game that people wanted but thy came close to it so don't be salty and sue because you yourself have taken properties from multitude of past games so if you win this lawsuit you open you yourself up to every other studio you took game ideas from and put into games.
Aw cool silksong came out! Too bad they changed the name and made it not look as good. Still looks better than the games I've made lately which is no games.
Dude waited so long for silksong that he decided to make his own lmao
"Fine, I'll do it myself"
-Powersnake, probably
Remember Crowsworn? Waiting for that too
LITERALLYYY
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Seriously if silksong isn't game of the decade what's even the point lmao
everything reminds me of her
Everywhere I go, I hear her voice...
"GIT GUD"
I should call her..
SHAWWW!!!
HEGALE!

Gives more Blasphemous vibes
Didn’t expect to see Sil- I mean a new metroidvania announced out of nowhere today

People really need to think of this sentence more often
Close enough. Welcome home Silksong
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Silksong substitute
Edit:whoa thanks for the likes
Like stevia but for your consoles
The Silksubstitute.
Great Value Silksong
At least it's looking anything...unlike Silk song 😒
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Looks like Hollow Knight and Darkest Dungeon had a baby....
That's awesome.
Hollow Knight and Sundered
Who else panic clicked on this thinking it was Silksong? 😭
Not disappointed tho cuz this game looks really cool
Silksong lookin weird
Lmao yea at a glance I thought it was finally a silksong update 💀
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Silksong took too long, ...so we made our own! o_o
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Silksong? What are you talking about? There’s no such game, and there never will be
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Looks gorgeous and really fun. Between Silksong and “civilisation” comments though, this comment section is disappointing.
Seriously, these people act as if they can't enjoy anything 😂
It gives more Blasphemous vibes anyways, combat wise
Comment about silksong
When you've waited too long for silksong so you release it yourself
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Oh, it's one of them metroidmaniacs
One of them retrovanias
Metroidvaniacs
Gives me Hollow Knight vibes
Stuffed Knight
That’s probably the point. People know what’s in demand
That’s exactly what I thought
really bro???? it gives me more cod vibes 🙄
@@someguy4096 yea thats the point
Bro said “f this, I’m gonna make my own*
"Silksong in home"
Just kiddin' looks good 😸
Looks good. I'll definitely pick this one up.
This is just Hollow knight silksong, Before hollow knight silksong
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
@@jaynukem1929Who needs silksong, Lmao obviously you've never 100% hollow knight
@@TheRealChristmasWaluigiPretty sure their comment is a joke about how Silksong is taking a long time.
@@korinorizThey seem serious to me
@@korinoriz They're definitely serious they've copy pasted the same thing on multiple comments
Looks cool and unique, been a while since I've had a good fleshy hellworld to explore.
This looks great! I can’t wait to try the demo!
Did anyone else notice the spelling error during this trailer?
Looks class! I’ll be snapping this up on release day.
Silksong? Haven’t seen her in years. Most people around here think she was just a legend.
Maybe the Silksong was just the friends we made along the way
Dude these bosses look so fun to play, I think I might get it one day 😀
I played the demo and liked it a lot…love the art style…looking forward to the release!
Very interested in seeing what this game is like on release, even if unfortunately I don't use my switch much anymore
Looks neat. I’m curious what powers you get, I’m a big fan of claw hands and I think a grappling arm would be cool.
There ya go Silksong peeps, you got something to play now
Fair enough, welcome silksong
Gonna be a good one. Just played the demo and am definitely buying thursday.
Zajebiaszczo to wygląda, platformówki robią robotę.
Boys, this is the silksong we get
For waiting silksong ! ♥️🔥
Nine sols and Voidwrought in the same year. MV fans been eating
After the obvious silksong comments, this looks way smoother than hollow knight, it just may be me
@0:31 Civilisation?
That was a typo,
Everyone makes mistakes.
It’s England’s English spelling
This game looks so good oh my god, I wish I had a switch so I could play this
Looking forward to this and Crowsworn!
Copping at some point
Been waiting on this game will definitely be a future purchase.
love the aesthetic
alot of good 2d pixel art games...but when traditional drawing style is done well it hits different! NICE
This is not Silksong 🔥🗣
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
@@jaynukem1929 yeah i was being quite funny
I do agree there's a lot of kool things to play while waiting for silksong
You know people are sick of waiting for silksong when something like this happens
The demo was amazing sometimes a lot of enemies that game suffer fps but it's amazing the enviorenmet ❤
Looks cool!
Velvet Noise is looking kinda cool
been waiting for this!
I'm not upset that it looks like hollow knight, HK was fantastic and I'm happy to play something that takes so much inspiration from it
This looks very well made, even if its clearly inspired by a certain game
This will do
Well, if Team Cherry won't provide us with Silksong🤷🏿♂️...
Day 192 of demanding a new Star Fox
Day 192? Did you mean 1092? Lol
"We have Silksong at home"
DONT SUE POCKETPAIR!
they have a right to.
no they dont bro
@@Yusei255why didn't they sure tem tem and other games like it?
Huh... this i'll want to check out.
Can't wait
"But we have Silksong at home"
i love how all comments talk about hollow knight because they relation some scenes, (and the genre), we are a hive, KNIGHT???!!!
This will do.
Reminds me of Metroid.
Where is silksong
Hollow Knight but Grime is there too? Sick
Wario Land 2025 Nintendo Switch Games
Love the enemy designs here. Makes me think of silent hill.
I'm going to buy this
Silksong?
Who Needs Silksong?? Evidently there are other things to play.
Yes
Close enough. Welcome back Hollow Knight
new silksong
I don't care if it's a "Hollow Knight" clone or not, I'm scratching that Metroidvania itch.
Yep. Downloading the demo right now... on steam. Suck it nintendo, it'll probably be half the price.
You know demos are free on the Eshop right?
And did you see that message on your Steam account?
@@Unknown_User174 Obviously I meant the full game, when it's released --- you know, if I like the demo.

Fine! I'll do it myself...
CompoundWord
YES THIS
Every half year someone tries to make Sundered again, but somehow fails to surpass it.
It feels like these new metroidvanias aren't inspired by Metroid anymore they're all hollow knight they're Silk-likes
Better than Silksong
Because it actually exists
I thought this was hollow knight for a sec
Whats and banjo-threeie?
silksong at home
Oh, my bad. I thought this was the Silksong trailer. Carry on.
This looks... familiar...
Sundered + Hollow Knight, not a bad thing in a vacuum.
Also *civilization (sorry for veing that guy).
Thank you Team Cherry!
Silksong, it's you!?

Silksong became the gta 6 of indie games. And this game came out XD
Im getting this!
Who else clicked this thinking it was silksong? 🤦♂️
Aw cool silksong came out! Too bad they changed the name and made it not look as good. Still looks better than the games I've made lately which is no games.
