Hollow Knight: Way of the Nail

The game Hollow Knight: Way of the Nail is the third game in the series following The Red Knight.

Gameplay
The Player can switch freely between the two characters, Gromb and Red. Each has a different skill set. The style of this game is similar to that of | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Gromb and Red are not separate Sprites, instead, there are three different modes, Gromb Mode, Red Mode, and Sync Mode. The modes are toggled by pressing RB. When switching between Gromb Mode and Red Mode, the sprite transforms into either Gromb or Red. In Sync Mode, Gromb and Red will both appear on the screen. They will both respond to each command, attacking in sync - hence the name.

Enemies
In certain areas, the citizens will not attack unless struck with the nail. If one of the inhabitants is hit, everyone will turn hostile. In other areas, the inhabitants will attack until the boss of the area is destroyed (like the Mantis Village in the original Hollow Knight). In all other areas, the citizens will be working as normal - but when Red/Gromb come into a certain vicinity they become hostile.

Story
The game takes place long before the events of Hollow Knight, when the Radiance had just started the Infection. This game follows the Red Knight and Gromb on their quest to learn the Nail Arts of other Kingdoms. It takes place in the Kingdom of Firecrest. As outsiders, Gromb and Red are treated with hostility.
