Any good Metroidvania games?

La-Mulana is Metroidvania-ish, I guess. It's really complicated and unforgiving though, so that could potentially be turn-off to some people. Those who can get past that aspect, however, generally think it's an amazing game.

Ys is very Metroid-vania like. They're not taking place in one castle (unless you're playing Ys: Origins) but they do take place over a small region.

Besides Castlevania and Metroid? Well, you could always try the following:

Cave Story

Knytt Underground

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Terraria

Fez

Shadow Complex

Megaman ZX / Advent

If those don't do it for you, then I dunno.

La Mulana seems awesome!

I know about Shadow Complex, and I definitely want to play it, but I don't have an xbox =/

You're welcome.

EDIT Also Touhouvania doesn't look anything like a Metroidvania...Pretty nice graphics for the main character though, although the level design looks pretty lame, 'specially for a tradition Castlevania styled game.

Really? Shit, I just knew that BrainScratchComms did a commentary of it, I didn't know it wasn't a Metroidvania. Sorry.

mandatory:

guacamelee! gold edition

lyle in cube sector if you like super mario bros. 2 and quirky atmosphere

an untitled story if you like birds, platforming challenges and the MSPaint Aesthetic

the latter two are freeware; the former was on sale on steam a couple weeks ago but you MISSED IT. no but really i just beat guacamelee today and it is very well-designed and challenging without ever being too frustrating

I guess I'll try guacamelee, thanks! And I don't have a steam account anyway. :XD:

Oh trust me, it's great game, even if some things are IMO too hidden.

you couldn't be further from the truth without straight up lying

Okay then I'll give it a try.

Also I found this awesome game named Ghost song that has a huge influence from metroid and has recently reached its funding goal at kickstarter, and is still in development I think. But it looks really awesome!

If we're giving suggestions of games still in development, then Chasm might tickle your fancy.

EDIT: Kinda surprised that this hasn't been brought up yet, but Project AM2R might be worth checking out too. It might be in development limbo, but it's literally Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R). It looks extremely promising in rebuilding the world as well as adding onto it.
