Tsuujou Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ok so BloodStained is making great progress and I think anyone that likes adventure Castlevania is most hype for that. In the meantime, can we post less popular/upcoming games of a similar style? I have a few worth looking into. (You don't need to follow this format, I just don't want to spam videos obnoxiously) Metroid II R Large 1+ hour demo, feels identical to Zero Mission Axiom Verge Closest you will get to Metroid Valdis Story Combat focused, very difficult Mega Man X Corrupted No demo, not complete, no release date Strider 3 Killer Instinct devs, very agile Odallus Closest you will get to Castlevania Momodora 4 Simple, easy to get into, mildly difficult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishaCat Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Is Death's Gambit a Metroidvania? Because it looks pretty rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuujou Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 I just finished Momodora 4. I guess it was ok. Probably the most basic and shortlived of the OP list. EDIT: Started NG+ and I'm running into a problem that's only now becoming apparent. Backtracking is becoming particularly bothersome now because the map is completed for me now that I've finished the game. I naturally don't have everything memorized from my first playthrough so I'm just here running back and forth HUGE distances just checklisting dead ends to see what the next objective is. You don't get warps until the final stretch of the game. The map being completed now only adds additional confusion since there's no undiscovered areas to tell me what I haven't done. And they don't tell you what area is what. No color coding like Axiom Verge. No transition points between areas like SotN. And no in-map names of the areas (they do have names, but only when you enter them) like Metroid. Nothing heinous, but it's noticeable now. Just a minor criticism. At least there's new stuff to get and some items actually become viable just by you being in NG+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
