One of the best feelings in the gaming world is when two series cross over. It's always fun to see how two different worlds blend into each other.And the latest web events Genshin it was nothing short of direct hollow knight A long-awaited homage silk song It just gets a little easier.
Hollow Impact? Genshin Knight? No, let's make it stupid!
This crossover, which has the traditionally fancy name Lightning Swordsman, is a limited-time event brought to you by HoyoFair, a Hoyoverse initiative that promotes fan works such as animated shorts, artwork, and mini-games. This browser game is available until April 17th and delivers a compelling Metroidvania experience with a touch of Genshin Paint.
And this may be a coincidence, but I happened to come across it yesterday while watching the Triple I Initiative livestream. As with any video game conference, the chat will include: Hollow Knight: Silk Song. Well, this is also not what I wanted, but that's okay!
At first, I thought it was just one of those simple Genshin events that you just click on something shiny to complete. But I've never been happier than when I was proven wrong. As soon as I got my hands on controlling the Traveler, I knew exactly what I was getting into with its simple yet attractive 2D design and precise commands and movements.

Everything from the background visuals, sound effects, animations, arenas, and enemy patterns made me feel like I was visiting Hallownest all over again. Some collectibles increase my health, and I knew how to deal with those enemies. There is also a nail pogo movement! It's the perfect festival for fans of both Genshin and Genshin. hollow knight and i love it.
Same old faces, same new tricks
While exploring the somewhat limited map, I found it interesting how references from both games were stolen.I got the usual stuff Genshin enemies as the main enemies, but everything is based on specific enemies from. hollow knight directly. It's very easy to figure out the pattern, but it takes time to master it and overcome the flipped bosses.
It took quite a while to finish the run. The inclusion of several mini-quests around the path, as well as references to specific situations such as the terrifying 1v2 at the end of Path of Pain, as well as Fool's Colosseum and Fool's Colosseum. I was glad to see a more direct reference to the location. Grimm's circus.
Our main goal is to defeat General Raiden and rescue Kokomi, and we will also come across several other playable ones Genshin Characters along the way. For example, Rhynie takes on the role of a good old Grimm and becomes a boss with a memorable fighting style. Luckily, there's no Nightmare King version here. The Shogun fight gave us a Soul Master feel, but other boss move sets were also part of the inspiration.
Don't expect the usual web event gameplay here, considering this is a fan-made creation promoted by Hoyoverse rather than made by them. lightning rider swordsman It's quite difficult in itself, but much of its difficulty comes from the limited movement pool. Despite the official promotion, this is a fan game after all. It's not meant to be perfect, but it works well enough.
As I crossed paths for the final time for my one-on-one with the General, I realized that I didn't care that I didn't have anything. silk song It's no longer news. No, this little game is not a replacement or anything. But it scratched an itch I had for that type of gameplay. I was very happy with it so I will give it to them.Maybe I'll start another suitable one hollow knight Run whenever you have time.
Unfortunately, the only reward here is a special banner on the HoyoLab forums, but I think it's okay. It was a great experience and something I wasn't expecting. If you like either of the two games, you'll probably enjoy it too. We'll probably keep an eye on the possibility of other HoyoFair mini-events like this. Who knows what pseudo-crossover they'll promote next?
