If you're reading this, you've likely decided to walk the path of the Soulslike game. This is a genre that separates the casual from the professional. It's a trial by fire that tests not only your skill but your patience. There will be times when you will fail and will never fully understand why. The Soulslike game is out to get you, but you have the power to get back at it. You must learn and see it for its darkness so that you can weather the dark and turn it into a weapon against it. Along this path, you will come across the game that is Hollow Knight.



Hollow Knight is a visually beautiful and dark game about an insect warrior descending into an underground insect kingdom that has fallen to pieces. The survivors are few, with monsters and infected bugs roaming the tunnels seeking to destroy you. It can be a very brutal game, where you realize that your hero's main strength is the skill that you choose to give them. For now, the game is confined to PC and consoles, but if you're looking for games like Hollow Knight with a similar taste or feel, then you can check out the following titles.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion

Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman

Publisher: Hexage
Available on: iOS + Android + Blackberry + Windows Phone + Windows 8 + Steam
Genre: Action, RPG
Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman

The reaper is an entity that is present in every universe, fiction or non-fiction. Whether it's a positive presence or not comes down to how it interacts with everything, like in Reaper by HEXAGE. While not explicitly the Grim Reaper, the main character visits the same tailor and goes by the brooding title of Black Swordsman (or Pale Swordsman, if you wish). That's the first thing that will remind you of the Hollow Knight. He's on a hack-and-slash platforming adventure through various realms to slaughter anything that may be a threat. There is darkness, but there's also a light to all the vibrant environments and animated enemies you'll face. Just remember that you're not the only one with a sword.

Guidus

Sometimes a warrior is only as good as how much stuff they have. In a game like Guidus by Izzle, you'll have so much stuff that you won't know what to do with it. It's a classic take on the dungeon crawler: You're a hero who enters a dungeon and crawls through it fighting things because that will somehow solve everyone's problems. While on a crawl, you'll have a top-down perspective showing you all the randomly generated chambers with monsters, traps, and most importantly, treasures to help you last a bit longer. Don't worry if you die - that's expected of the dungeon-crawling lifestyle.

HAAK

There's an art style defined by sharp edges and defined black outlines that are used a lot in gritty action comics. This is the style that was decided upon for HAAK by Blingame. The story takes place in yet another wasteland where everyone fights for survival with mutants and robots having the obvious upper hand. Don't let this get you down because you are HAAK, one of the few wasteland survivors that's capable of doing things. You'll be able to run and jump with sharply rendered 2D graphics to fight all sorts of threats to the closest thing people have to a peaceful life in this world. It's a brutal place and you need to be just like it to survive.
