Nintendo firing up Legal for the Metroid Fusion riff as we speak.
But seriously though: That’s a slugcat featured on the right, and I very highly recommend anyone that likes metroidvanias or platform games of any kind to get Rain World today.
I’m not kidding, it’s awesome. Go! Buy it.
I don’t think it’s on this page but if you want a cool 3d platformer metroidvania check out Pseudoregalia. I recently beat it and it’s one of my favorite games in recent memory.
It’s also on Humble Bundle right now. It was made by 1 guy. Pretty impressive.
I got it a few months ago but haven’t given it a shot yet. I’ve always been a little wary of 3D Metroidvanias because I feel like I’ll get way too lost. Might give it a play on the Steam Deck next week, though.
I would absolutely wait if that’s the case. I spent two hours running in circles to find one-way forward. I’ve been told a map is being introduced in the future
The map dropped like a week ago.
Played it earlier this week and there was a map. Was still a bit confusing at times but I figured it out. Could be better but absolutely worth it imo. Especially if you’re a Mario 64 and metroidvania fan.
Thanks for clarifying. I played it last year
What are the games closest to Metroid without being Metroid I can get? I’ve already played axiom verge
Think I’m going to get Grime, it’s been on my wishlist for a while.
You won’t be disappointed.
I played through Blasphemous for the first time just a few months ago-- really liked the dark quasi-christo mystic grotesque aesthetic. Fun boss fights, lots of upgrades, decent exploration, etc
Anyone able to recommend some of these? I don’t recognise very many of them
Should’ve moved piggy guy (sorry, I’m not up on my indie games) next to slugcat and added an Alucard-ish silhouette inside the doorway. Needs 'vania representation!
