A game like metroid

A stupid buzzword for people that can' describe things in more than two words. Anyway it's usually used to describe 2d or sometimes 3d games where you aquire different tools to backtrack and reach certain areas with those tools that you couldn't reach before

It's like metroid
But castlevania like

>>378584404

A game with a heavy focus on exploration and using newly acquired abilities to access previously inaccessible areas/items, encouraging backtracking in a meaningful way (eg getting the Gravity Suit in Super Metroid to obtain items that were located in deep water and going to Maridia).

Any game that follows the legacy of Brain Breaker, Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu, Metroid, Castlevania Symphony of the Night or others in setting up a mazelike environment which the player successively opens via exploration and the acquisition of new tools which are not limited to the opening of more parts of the maze. A good example - certain doors can only be opened with certain weapons, or certain areas require mastering the secondary properties of the weapons (freezing a flying enemy to jump to a hidden spot) but their basic use (killing enemies) is always there.

No Patrick, mayonnaise is a gender

if it doesn't have RPG elements, it's not a metroidvania. it's just a metroid.

Okay.

A platformer with emphasis on exploration and RPG elements.

>>378584404
Any 2D game in which you go through an area progress to another, and have to go back to previous areas you were already in in order to unlock something within that old area.Basically needless backtracking.

Platformer with exploration and backtracking

>>378584758
REEEEE Why the fuck is it called "Undervania" if it has nothing to do with castlevania

It is a dumb made up word made by blogger who believes to be a journalist to describe a sidescrolling game based on exploration. Like super metroid and symphony of the night did.

It is just like soulslike game. It is just a fucking action RPG for got sake.
