Y'all are gonna get sued

[Keet]

Team Cherry is going to sue the pants off of you guys for this blatant rip off of Hollow knight. It's kind of amazing how much you just blatantly stole. Hollow Knight Redux if you will

[Draken42]

Hey, if you're here from fireb0rn's video, let's not harass the devs. We haven't even seen the game yet outside of a short trailer. It does look like it took quite a lot direct from HK, but we should at least wait for more info, or maybe for the game to come out, before passing judgement.

[sayannnnnn]

As the trailer showed us almost everything is blatant copy. I hope the develeoper thinks twice before release or Hollow Knight fans with eat the developer alive :/

[TheSwarm]

Bruh literally, why wouldn't you even try to make it different, the whole plot is the same also

[Rick Ross Pear]

If you honestly enjoyed hollow knight you would be happy that games so similar are coming out. It takes clear inspiration but i'm excited for any game that can help the wait for silksong

[Zincoshine]

I hope team cherry doesn't sue, I want more hollow knight. This is more hollow knight. Who wouldn't want more hollow knight?

[MiniEngineer]

They're not American

If devs of Gleamlight did not get sued, then the devs of this game will not get sued.

[Keet]

eh, probably not, they should be though. just my opinion

[Buck Stedman]

1) Make a Hollow Knight clone
2) Make it co-op
3) Release before Silksong (shouldn't be hard you probably got a few more years)
4) Profit

[Corvax]

It even looks like it’s the exact same engine and everything too

[234thewolf]

To those of you coming to this from Fireborn's video and think the story is exactly the same. LOOK AT THE METROIDVANIA GENRE. There's soo many infection stories, it's not unique to Hollow Knight. If you actually are willing to take a step back and think about calling these games ripoffs I highly recommend Rusty's "The Current State of Metroidvanias"

[DarkFalzX]

Derivative work isn't anything automatically illegal, and where it's clear to us where the devs' inspirations lay, it would probably not be an easy case to pursue, even if Team Cherry were petty enough to do it, which I'm sure they aren't. Besides, it looks like devs are from China, which automatically makes any legal action utterly unwinnable.

[Ducky]

If anybody thinks this game is better than hollow knight you might as well get away from social life

[Pawtomics]

your gonna get sued for harrasment

The problem is that it's not that it takes inspiration. It straight up steals. The art style, animations, gameplay loop, and story all look like they're pulled straight from Hollow Knight. Compare something like Axiom Verge and the Metroid series. AV clearly draws heavily from Metroid, but it does a few unique things. It's got its own original power ups, story, ect. It's not plagiarism. Lotus Knight is a shameless reskin of Hollow Knight. If it was a free fan game or mod that'd be one thing, but they're clearly copying HK instead of making a game inspired by it.
