“I saw the trailers, some bits of the gameplay and I thought "Okay, this is a Hollow Knight copy" and I thought I was fine with it. I am perfectly aware, that if you want to make a metroidvania in 2D, there will be similarities. But I was…”
“obnoxiously derivative, i don't really mind most of the core systems being lifted from hollow knight but almost every enemy i encountered was too (and even parts of the map!) and that's just too much. areas felt too similar aesthetically…”
