>have to kill 40 bosses in a row with no saving to get the true ending

what the fuck were they thinking?

they were thinking you need to git gud

It's just the vanilla true ending with a little more at the end. If you can't man up to finish it you're not missing much but your pride

>>have to kill 40 bosses in a row with no saving to get the true ending
This is an exaggeration, right?

They thought that a difficult bossrush mode is good bang for your buck as a free dlc thing.
It's not a particularly good ending that you get as a reward either. And the lore isn't important to the main story.
Godhome content is optional and I say it as someone who's spent more time on it then on the main game.

for

no

Stop joking user...

what's so good about this game? what sets it apart from other indie metroidvanias? enlighten me plz

How do I find the NPC to start the godmaster expasion? Already beat the Colosseum of Fools and got the void thing.

It's nothing like the vanilla true ending

Head left in the royal waterways

You'll need a key. Go back to the Colosseum and start breaking the walls on the far right. Theres a new area

Breakable wall in the canals under city of tears to the left kind of on the way toward the boss that spawns rushers at you.
It's a pain in the ass to find if you've already done the area on an old patch.

Ever play Kirby Planet Robot or Triple Deluxe?

Vanila true ending is you kill radiance and fade from existence.
Embrace the void/flower endings are you kill radiance, save your brother and either disappear/get banished or you are released as a living manifestation of void united and given mind and probably fucking shit up

Consistent atmosphere
Really good music
One of the best mobility/ability upgrade tracks I’ve seen in Metroidvania that genuinely encourages exploration and lorefinding at the player’s own pace.

42 to be exect

How could it against the new reddit memegame

The music is not that amazing. It's fine for an indie, but it's not hotline miami.
I was much more impressed with the backgrounds and the world feeling and how it flows naturally between zones.

There's is no competition. Both can live in the same ecosystem. La-Mulana fags falseflagging as HKfag is just pathetic. Kill yourselves.

That’s fair. It’s more like all the audio/visual stuff fits together really well.
I would have tried to say “cohesive and wonderfully executed creative vision” in more objective terms if it didn’t mean burning the rest of my lunch break[/spoiled].

Team Cherry has the best dlc model where they make difficult endgame content that isn't required to beat the game.

I agree on the sound design. The use of the music in the mantis lords fight for example is great.

this
Metroid really shines when it brings the sci-fi atmosphere with tones of isolation horror/suspense. Shit like Nightmare’s silhouette flyby before the whole ARC zone gets fucked in Fusion or the whole opening sequence of Super makes for the greatest flavor of tension.

Hollow Knight feels like a Newgrounds platformer that gorged on Dark Souls, cocooned itself, and emerged as a beautiful 10/10 indie butterfly. There’s something intensely nostalgic about playing it without being derivative or generic.

it isnt the true ending, they are retards. it's literally a boss rush DLC with a little cinematic at the end if you beat the last boss rush, wich is all the bosses

>how do we make this boss harder?
>just remove the floor lmao
quality game design

It's an ending. It's actually two endings, you could argue if it's a true ending, but it's not 'just' a cinematic. Radiance is dead, game over.

by being good

There's a pretty simple strategy.
First you need to ____________git gud_________ then when that starts helping you move on to ___git gud_____ and finish it off by gitting gud

Metroid does not compete with HK because Mteroid isnt proper metroidvania.

I'm playing It right now and I'm having a blast

I already got the three mask guys, but I'm searching for charms (2 missing) and mask fragments (I think I'm only missing one)

have you delivered the flower?

So I actually played this game which Yea Forums says its better than HK.

-Shit 'story' (nonsensical, random bits of story stitched together)
-Awful sprites and background art, inconsistent at times
-A shit ton of mechanics simply left behind and never touched again (leveling up attacks)
-Such a bad metroidvania basically next to nothing changes if you sequence break
-Most battles are you spamming the same button next to the boss as you randomly get invincibility while a combo is still going
-Some decent OST tracks every now and then but most are bland and forgettable
-Abuse the 'le just fight every single boss in a row' shit three times in the same story mode
-Levels are bland, boss fights get repetitive really quick. Mixing bullet hell with platforming seems nice on paper but clunky when playing

Yet being honest they praise it because they created an imaginary enemy which is against the art style so they shut down any criticism towards this game calling strawmans on that enemy.

No idea What you are talking about so I don't think so

No way it's the vanilla ending
Vanilla ending is killing Radiance for good and you die
Godseeker is copying the Radiance's power, turning you into a void god
