Blue Druid Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Does anyone know any good Metroidvania games other than Metroid and Castlevania? P.S.:Happy new year everybody!
Orpheon Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 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.
Jedi Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Rogue Legacy is a mixture of the genre with that of a rogue like, Kirby and the amazing Mirror The others I've played escape me at the moment
Lord Raven Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 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.
Karasz Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 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! Besides Castlevania and Metroid?

I know about Shadow Complex, and I definitely want to play it, but I don't have an xbox =/
Garland Chaos Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Touhouvania, if you don't count it as an actual Castlevania game.
Refa Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 http://www.metroidvania.com/ 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.
Prims Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 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

And I don't have a steam account anyway.
Rah Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Cave Story is fun but short. It's really great though.

Vykan_12 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 +1 for Shadow Complex. One of the best Xbox Live games ever made.
Blue Druid Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 +1 for Shadow Complex. One of the best Xbox Live games ever made. Too bad I don't have an xbox, but Idefinitely want to play it.
Magical CC Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 The most beautiful platform game I have ever played.
Nicolas Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I don't know, Cave Story seems kinda meh. Oh trust me, it's great game, even if some things are IMO too hidden.
Refa Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I don't know, Cave Story seems kinda meh. you couldn't be further from the truth without straight up lying
Blue Druid Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 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!
Orpheon Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 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.
Blue Druid Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 I was just thinking about AM2R. I downloaded the demo which is pretty lengthy and I find it very addicting. Chasm looks cool too.
BANRYU Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 http://dagobah.net/flash/kenjivania_cripple_tears.swf [Muramasa] The most beautiful platform game I have ever played. Muramasa's awesome and visually gorgeous but it's definitely not what I'd call a Metroidvania game.
Blue Druid Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 AM2R released a new demo if anyone's interested: http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/ Also I heard Demon's Crest is Metroidvania (sort of). I've played it and it's AMAZING.
