    Metroidvania

    Concept »

    A style of action-adventure gameplay revolving around exploring a labyrinth with the necessity of locating new items and equipment to progress beyond otherwise impassable obstacles. The concept is named for its common usage in the Metroid and Castlevania franchises. While the term most commonly refers to 2D games, it can also refer to 3D games.

    What's your favorite Metroidvania game?

    Shadow Complex.

    Shadow Complex was so good that I even took the extra step to collect all the items in my run. I almost never do that with games.

    I wish they would make a sequel, but I think that ship sailed a long time ago.

    My experience and wishes exactly.

    Shadow Complex is fucking amazing. But yeah, that dev especially isn't making any new Shadow Complex games, sadly.

    I hate how people call SOTN metroidvania. SOTN did so much more than Metroid ever did. I actually kind of prefer igavania cause Iga took castlevania and made it awesome.

    I actually prefer to call my platformers "Miyamotolikes", my FPSs "first-person Carmacks", and my narrative-based puzzle games "Blow 'em ups".

    Underrated post.
