Hollow Knight Godmaster DLC Is Now Available For Free, Game Also On Sale For The First Time

Even though I suck too much at the main game to even start playing this DLC, I fully recommend this game. It's lots of fun.

This is just annoying, waiting for the physical when the digital and all DLCs are out.
Especially when the company they have chosen have not done (that i can find) any switch games to date

Geez. I have such a backlog of games & just started Octopath. But for less than $10 this may be too hard to pass up. I'm a buyer.

Picked up right away yesterday. Looking forward to finally playing it now that the final piece of content is released. That is, if I can bring myself to putting Dead Cells and Bad North and Ni No Kuni II down ...

I’ve got a couple of games I want to play through before this but I’m going to get it now at that price

Awesome, I had a few gold points I needed to use. Thanks for the tip @ryancraddock

Blimey, that makes it £5.72 from the South African eShop! Not sure I can wait for the physical release with a price like that.

@Ralek85
If you like Dead Cells I feel like you'll love Hollow Knight. It's one of the best games ever made in my opinion.

I don't neeeeeed anymore games right now ugh, but I best snap it up at this price.

Got this earlier. Couldn’t resist but want physical too really!

Price is too good to pass up

if you don't already have it then you're an idiot if you don't snap it up now. its already a bargain at full price!

Bought it off of the Nintendo website, can’t wait to play it when my game break is over! 😃 That sale price was too good to skip.

After spending 55+ hours 100%ing the Crash trilogy (all platinum relics too, it was a stressful and crushing experience) I was after something new to play - this sale seems to have come at a perfect time, downloaded last night!

Have yet to play it but could somebody please explain to me how the DLC packs are integrated? Just want to know whether or not it'll be obvious when entering a DLC area or if they're locked off all together behind a menu. Thank you!

@BionicDodo cheaper from Mexico, £4.09.

If Hollow Knight isn't a 10/10, then no Metroidvania deserves to be. Tight controls; pulsating combat; bruising bosses; huge, interlocking map; and a melancholic, subtly told story. Love it.

@eltomo Yeah, but sadly I've never worked out how to pay for a game in the Mexico eShop. South Africa, Norway and Russia just accept my UK card.

I couldn't resist, so I bought it on sale.

@Alber-san Have to disagree. I was glued to Dead Cells but struggled to slog through the borefest of Hollow Knight.

@MajorasLapdog not obvious. They are just part of the game. You stumble upon them like any other event really

Picking this up as soon as I get home.

@BionicDodo without gift cards, you can't. The stores won't accept credit/debit cards that aren't from that part of the world. Even virtual credit cards, such as Revolut, won't work.

My biggest problem with the game was its length. Loved it for a few hours, then got super bored. More content was not what I needed.

@krvstkvlt

yep, it's difficult but very good.

i'll need to get this dlc.

Guys, if you don't have it yet, GET IT! I can"t reccomend this strong enough, it's one of the best games you're going to find for the Switch. Ever. And at that price is a no brainer, really...
Best metroidvania of the century so far.

I'm about 80 hours into this and still really enjoying it. Its taking me a long time mainly because i really suck at the boss fights (I'm old and slow) and have a tenancy to go back and re-explore old areas over and over in case I missed something or a new ability opened something up. It is a true masterpiece in my personal view.

@BionicDodo its funny, I felt the game was to cheap with its standard price so made a point of buying some t-shirt merch linked from the team cherry web site to try and better support the Devs. But the main thing is everyone who ever enjoyed a metrovania should play this game

I got it last night and stayed up late playing. I can't wait to jump back in after work.

Definite buy for me - just need to pop down to the supermarket and grab an eShop card.

I was shocked to see that the game was on sale so soon since it has sold so well, needless to say I have never hesitated so little to purchase a game as I did with Hollow Knight, I consider it a must buy.

This is the first game that made me think "they should probably charge a little more for this". Not only is it great, it's quite long. It's a steal.

@BarFooToo I am almost certainly going to buy the physical release of this when it arrives, but I dont think I can wait that long. If I can get the digital editon cheaply then I won't feel too bad buying both.

I recently “beat” this (not even close to 100%), and it was honestly one of my favorite experiences in my nearly 30 years of gaming. Perfect game.

And now there’s even more content in this already massive game? Heck yeah.

That sale is real tempting! But the difficulty of this game - or the perceived difficulty based on some comments I have read - scares me. lol

Still, that's a real tasty sale on a well loved title. I ought to pick it up.

@BionicDodo Yep, its still great value even if you are on a really tight budget. I would recommend getting the digital and then if I get my hands on a physical it will go unopened into the collection. It is about 5.2 Gig after the update so it does eat a bit of storage

More than worth the £10.99 it normally costs, an amazing game.

Yep, it auto updates, on mine anyway. Not sure if you can turn off game patches or not. I've never tried.

@Rohanrocks88 are you based in the UK?

@Rohanrocks88 I can pay in any eShop except the North American ones. I Googled it and the general consensus seemed to be that you can't fiddle the Mexican one. Have you done this with a UK card on the Mexican eShop?

I generally avoid using PayPal as their currency conversion rates are terrible. Much worse than my bank's. If there is a way to use it on the Mexican eShop that would be a different matter, but I'm sure people in forums said it doesn't work.

@BionicDodo pretty sure I tried to link my Revolut card with PayPal and use it on the Mexican store and it gave an error about the PayPal account not being the right region.

The only sad thing about this game for me is that it's almost over. Thank "god" for more Hollow Knight. GOTY

Yep, I wasted no time in buying this now.

Purchased! Thanks!

I'm about 12 hours in. Game has grown on me since the opening hours, but it's still a bit of a slog. Certainly recommended at 10 bucks.

@chiptoon Few hours means you haven't really started, but I agree that the initial experience doesn't really hint at how great the game is. Your gameplay actions are limited and the narrative is just mysterious, not necessarily engaging or enticing. It would have been good to have a strong hook to pull you in and know at least a short-term goal you could fight for, in my opinion. I love the game, though.

So glad that I waited on buying this game. I normally don't buy digital games at full price, and I usually wait until a sale like this.

@aaronsullivan That's very interesting to know. Maybe one day I'll go back. I felt like at one point things started opening up suddenly, and then just as suddenly it stopped again and I found myself just fighting to same enemies again and again, and as you say its just mysterious.

I can totally see the games quality though. I think my opinion on these things is also guided by my very limited time. I only get to play maybe 30min a day these days, so when I've been playing for 2 weeks and I still don't know what I'm meant to be doing I kind of lose interest.

@chiptoon Yeah, I can relate to the time constraints. I get some time in the summer and force some in on Holiday break. Those are the only times I can commit to a big time investment game. On top of this, Hollow Knight is very much about improving your actual skill at playing, not just giving you power ups, so continued play is highly beneficial.

@Rohanrocks88 American credit cards/debit cards work fine for all of the American (north/south) states/countries. The issue is using a card that is registered in Europe (I live in Ireland) and trying to use it on the American region stores - it just won't work.

I was going to get the physical next year, but now it's a done deal for digital.

I said first sale so I will gladly get this and Yoku's!

@chiptoon You're clearly not made to like this kind of game.

Write yourself a journal if you got lost.

@Bunkerneath Encourage developper by buying the game digitally and physically. With this discount its the perfect time except if you really want to wait and you're patient enough.

@Krull it's rock solid top to bottom. I've mostly sworn off 2D platformers but Hollow Knight really captivated me.

I downloaded it yesterday, even if there may be a bigger discount down the line. Keep in mind that it eats up lots of memory-space, more then 5 gb to be exact. Got me a bit off-guard, but I'll buy a micro-sd in a couple of months anyway. I'll play it this weekend.

Promised myself I wouldn’t buy another game in August... then Hollow Knight went on sale. I’m such a mark.

I like the Dark Souls and Berzerk references in the game... made me nerd out.

"...more romance options..." Wait, what? In a metroidvania?

Bought it last night as it was on sale and hear nothing but great things about it. Unfortunately, after about 1.5 hours of gameplay, I'm completely lost and have no clue where to go or what to do lol

Team Cherry is basically giving this game away.

Woot. And this completes the puzzle.

Have Mafia 3 for home but was just running around in Hollow Knight on my commute - download this now for my way home 🙂

The difficulty put me off but the price cut has convinced me.

I was going to get Dead Cells next, but it seems patience is quickly rewarded with indie game discounts. Except Celeste, still waiting on that one.

£3.50 with gold coins, Its got to be bought! Everyone here probs knows but I just found this week that you can register your physical sales for gold coins!! Think this is a nice touch.

Nice. I was able to snatch it for less than a dollar with my gold coins. I'm really happy about it.

@nintendobynature That's metroidvania for you. Best you can do is to explore and try new things.

Was in my wishlist... now it’s not! Good deal- can’t wait to start playing!

@Devlind i hear you, I don't mind challenging games but coasting around not knowing what to do sometimes leaves my brain scrambled. Either way, At 9$, I shouldn't even be complaining haha. Especially with how good I hear this game is. Looking forward to playing more tonight though!

@Fake-E-Lee - You bear no shame my man. I look at it like a boxing match. Sometimes I have a bad round and have to wobble back to my corner, catch my breath, and get a couple tips from my cornerman. That’s all I usually need to bounce back, instead of throwing in the towel.

Yeah I grabbed this plus Yokus Island Express was on sale too(thank goodness for birthdays and Nintendo e-cards!)

I feel kinda bad. This ate my money for the messenger.

This was already a steal at the regular price of $15. Anyone who has even a remote interest in this game should try it out. And for those waiting for the physical edition, at this price you might as well buy it now on the eshop and still get the physical copy later. It will still be great value for your money.

Other developers should take note: make a quality game and sell it for a reasonable price. You will sell lots and earn a ton of fan loyalty.

@BarFooToo 1000% agree, its put many developers to shame that this awesome game was released at such a competitive price. And now we are getting more gaming for free. Best thin i have played since the awesome steamworld dig 2.. if you like this genre, its a crime to to own it at this price. tripple A support not needed, if we can get more games of this calibre

I had to buy it when I realized I spent the same amount of money yesterday on two Pokémon booster packs, which only had a small chance of having a valuable piece of cardboard inside.

Picked this game up late last night. I’m only a few minutes in but I certainly enjoy it. Definitely pleased with the discount and the additional FREE dlc. I’ve got a backlog of games but this one should definitely be a blast to play on long car rides or train trips.

I bought the game on sale and I’ll definitely double dip when a physical copy is released. Need to support developers who do things right.

I don't mean to sound like an advertisement.

After 40 hours of serious enjoyment, I feel bad for only paying the $15 that I did. Team Cherry deserves whatever good news they get!

Unfortunately a text's size is still too small especially in a portable mode, I hope that'll be addressed in a future patch. But that's the only downside of this awesome title.
