Hollow Knight was great, but it was also bottomlessly frustrating at times (many, oh so many times), so I hope this won't end up being even more difficult.Īnyway, I'm really glad they got a pile of money and will be able to develop the game the way they want. Having backed it, I naturally hope I'll actually be able to enjoy it, and not just look at reload screens after dying a thousand times. The gameplay in Crowsworn seems to be faster than Hollow Knight, at least from the little we've seen so far, which is an aspect I'm actually concerned about. The 2.5D style works well, and most platformers kinda look the same to an extent. All metroidvanias have a lot in common, and this game is no different. Obviously there are many similarities, but I think it's sort of silly with all the people saying it's a copy/etc. Team Cherry themselves backed the game, which was cool to see. None of the developers are from the Hollow Knight crew, but the marketing person Leth is. They ended up getting almost exactly 10x the original funding goal, which is nuts. It became a crazy success, and I too was surprised to see how much they gained towards the end. I followed this campaign and backed it, so I'm really looking forward to play the game once it's out in around two years.
