The way it was meant to be played?
Some of the first mods for Hollow Knight: Silksong enabled co-op multiplayer in the challenging platformer, and now there’s a mod to move things in the opposite direction: Skong Boss Doubler by eniac-mod gives most bosses in the game their own Mimic Tear doppelganger to make your life hell.
Does this seem like a fun or even reasonable way to play Silksong? Not at all. The toughest Hollow Knight bosses are finely tuned bullet hell puzzles demanding precise play. Doubling all those projectiles looks like it turns the game into pure chaos.
Even legendarily tough videogame duo bosses like Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls are balanced with the numbers advantage in mind, all but doing the martial arts movie thing where the goons only go at the hero one at a time.
