Hand-drawn soulslike hidden gems
Sketched bosses and painted ruins give these soulslike hidden gems a storybook surface over strict timing. In Hollow Knight you map a fallen insect kingdom while learning boss rhythms through repeated defeats, and in Tails of Iron you read each frog soldier before rolling or raising your shield. ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights adds companion spirits that open new paths as you dodge through damp chapels and ruined streets.
