Substitute for Silksong

[🧿]

Yes, I know everyone has already patiently waited for 5 years and wanted to play something like Silksong at least. I think there is a substitute for those eager to play:

Suppose you have already played Nine Sols, congrats! If you haven’t, you must try it out!

Hope you enjoy

Nothing will ever substitute Hollow Knight, but this can fill the wait for a little while.

What type of game is it?

[ChekinNooget]

it's a rougelite/rougelike game, you can go through four different "zones" (each with 3 levels and a boss floor) one at a time, or you can go through them all at once in "all zones mode"

it's music based so you need to make inputs every beat of the music, so it's kinda turn based (you move and then the monsters move right after)

each level has a different song so before the song ends you need to defeat the miniboss and find the exit stairs

also there are different characters with different conditions, recently i just beat the hardest character

pretty fun

My go-to recommendation for “games like Hollow Knight” is always Salt & Sanctuary. Out of the 9 or so other metroidvanias that I bought and played back in 2017 / 2018, it was the only one that gave me a similar feeling to what I experienced with Hollow Knight.

Most games in this genre are extremely linear and focused on telling a story instead of exploration and mastery of mechanics, from what I’ve seen. (I think Ori and the Blind Forest is partly responsible for that.) Finding secrets in a lot of them is about as exciting as getting your 15th missile expansion in Metroid.
