Indie developer Gardenfiend Games just released a gorgeous plant horror game that its team describes as \u201cHollow Knight<\/em> meets Titan Souls<\/em>.\u201d Perennial Order<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> which dropped on September 6 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S, is a 2D boss rush game that pulls inspiration from Dark Souls<\/em>, Princess Mononoke<\/em>, and the art style of Magic: The Gathering<\/em>. Its protagonist is an undead knight with a pitcher plant for a head (or maybe it\u2019s a helmet?) and a stinger grafted onto one arm, and the hostile world it\u2019s set in is crawling with plant-infested monsters. Needless to say, I downloaded it immediately.<\/p>\n

You can play Perennial Order<\/em> solo or with a friend \u2014 it offers both local and online co-op, with cross-platform support. There are 15 bosses to face, and with one-hit-death combat, your every move is critical. Thankfully, you respawn close to where you died, because you\u2019ll probably be doing a lot of that with some enemies.<\/p>\n
