The Shape Of Unn is one of the stranger charms in Hollow Knight, changing the Knight’s appearance to resemble a slug when in use. Other than that, its usefulness lies in its ability to allow the Knight to move around while focus

If you want a physical version of the album, there are a couple of options available on Bandcamp . For $19, you can get the CD version which comes in a "pristine-quality limited-edition 1 disc, 6-panel digipack." If you're a collector of vinyl, there is a Deluxe 2xLP Vinyl Edition that will set you back $39. It includes 180-gram black and clear color-in-color discs and a 24-page art booklet. Pre-purchasing any of these versions will also include the digital version with one of the tracks available

Hollow Knight captured the hearts of fans all over the world when it released in 2017, and the fact that the buzz surrounding this title is still strong to this day is a testament to just how brilliant the Metroidvania really is. In fact, one of the major reasons why Hollow Knight has garnered so much attention is that it's also a Soulsl

For the low, low price of two notches, the Sharp Shadow Charm turns the Knight's Shadow Dash ability (a mid-to-late game addition that allows the Knight to dash directly through enemies without taking damage) into a weapon, with damage equivalent to a single nail sw

The number of bugs in this ghost town slowly grows, with residents and shopkeepers returning after you meet them elsewhere. The Grimm Troupe will set up their tents here as well. To top it all off, Dirtmouth’s music theme is somber and sets the tone for the rest of Hallown

They only remain for a second, but any enemies caught in their reach take damage in kind. It is... disquieting, but if you anticipate soaking up a lot of close-range damage, then it's ideal. Perhaps fittingly, this Charm is found in a thorny labyrinth inside Greenp

Aside from the obvious ability to deal damage more quickly against opponents, the Quick Slash Charm can be handy in certain platforming sections as well. Places where you must down-attack on hazards to move across an area are made much easier when you can attack fas

The Hive is arguably the most forgotten area in all of Hallownest, as it’s not necessary to visit it to complete the Team Cherry game. This hidden area, tucked away deep below the Kingdom's Edge, is a palace of golden honeycombs and crystalline structu

Hollow Knight 's gameplay is just as gripping as anything in Dark Souls – if not more so– but there are plenty of Soulslikes that outdo the 2017 indie. So, when one talks about the best Soulslikes to have ever released, Hollow Knight is definitely a part of this conversation... along with five other titles that may just be better than this amazing g

This infected jellyfish fight is necessary to uncovering the mysteries and lies of the Pale King's rule. Luckily, you should have the ever-loyal Quirrel to break its defenses, allowing you to strike its core. The boss itself isn't the challenge here, but rather avoiding the spasms of electricity that follow you around the ar

Each area of Hallownest is visually different and distinct. There are flourishing plants that adorn the Queen's Gardens, while the Ancient Basin is isolated and deserted. Each region of Hollow Knight 's striking world has something unique to offer. Here's each major area of Hallownest, ran

Masterful players know how to use those few, precious post-damage invincibility frames to their fullest effect. The rest of us, though, need a bit of a longer window. That's the kind of player that the Stalwart Shell Charm is for. At the cost of two notches, the Stalwart Shell will envelop the Knight in a, well, stalwart shell, and briefly shield them while they heal. There's no shame in needing a safe sp

Dash through Sly's ground attacks and follow it up with some Soul spells to maximize your damage. You can Nail Pogo off of Sly's Cyclone Slash attack. There is a brief window to attack Sly in between his own attacks, so be qu

Platforming up to the Traitor Lord is going to be one of your biggest struggles if you rely on dash-based charms, but it's perfectly feasible if you take your time. If you save Cloth in the Ancient Basin, she will join you in this fight and you can let her do some of the heavy lifting. Be quick on your d

Gameplay is as open as a Soulsborne title , with players able to pick up a variety of weapons and magical attacks. The game also implements many classic RPG elements, such as classes, backgrounds, and skill trees. For those players who don't want to face the horrors alone, it's possible to play with local co-op. For those who want to be a fresh terror for their friends, there's a versus mode

The only isometric title on this list, Hades ditches platforming for a greater focus on visceral combat. The new title from Supergiant Games also falls firmly in the rogue-like camp, expecting players to make multiple runs. Despite these differences, Hades and Hollow Knight do actually have quite a lot in common. Both titles test their players against increasingly chaotic 2D battlegrounds, with evolving enemies and tactics. Likewise, both games use NPCs as both vendors and story-tellers, allowing the player to expand their understanding of the world along with their ski
