Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs.
The gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor. The player controls Hornet, an insectoid creature who wields a needle to combat enemies. During her adventure, Hornet encounters many hostile creatures. The game is planned to feature over 165 different enemies.[1] Hornet will also encounter many friendly non-player characters.
