Curator Review

By PRO스티머 April 18, 2018

“한때 위대했던 왕국을 쓰러뜨린 재앙은 무엇이었을까?
이 미스테리 해소를 위해 플레이어 자신이 기사가 되어 여행을 시작해야 한다.
다양한 가지각색의 적들을 상대하면서 공격 패턴을 예측하고, 자신만의 플레이가 가능.
에픽 보스와 싸울 때 나오는 브금이 참 좋다!”

Brave the Depths of a Forgotten Kingdom

Beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth sleeps an ancient, ruined kingdom. Many are drawn below the surface, searching for riches, or glory, or answers to old secrets.


Hollow Knight is a classically styled 2D action adventure across a vast interconnected world. Explore twisting caverns, ancient cities and deadly wastes; battle tainted creatures and befriend bizarre bugs; and solve ancient mysteries at the kingdom's heart.
