Getting the final room I needed was a bit of a pain, but I absolutely loved this game. I'm looking forward to trying out some of his other work.

I keep hearing this game being recommended as being top tier metroidvania. I have no knowledge of it other than short gameplay videos and I do love the art style. I don’t want to spoil it anymore than that.

As someone who generally doesn’t like these types of shooters/vehicle based/bullet hell games, I’m still somehow drawn to it. What are the chances of me enjoying it? It’s on sale and I’m very tempted but I’ve bought a few games lately that have let me down so trying to avoid more of the same.

Good game, solid 7 or 8 out of 10, I've got some issues with some of the presentation aspects (soundtrack is bad) and I think it's a little too easy but it's a really enjoyable time

you really need to limit what tools you use to give bosses a chance, whip attack is broken, some of the arcane are insanely fucked up, and legendary weapons are overkill which sucks cause they are the most fun, I did half of first phase Dracula's health in the first 5 seconds lol (shout-out to great sword)

I really enjoyed the high focus on platforming, a lot of rooms felt like Celeste Berry rooms lmao. At times I feel like they went a little overboard with it and feel like it hurts the pacing a little but the game is still better with the platforming challenges, also the trap damage is very low so it's not like your gonna get set back to a save point because of it

Thinking of getting Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. How would you rate its difficulty compared to Silksong, 9 sols, blasphemous 1 and 2, prince of persia lost crown?

Edit: i dont want to mess with modifiers. Normal difficulty not modifiers.

Hi Gamers!

This is JP and I got the opportunity to work with Luva Games to play their private demo for their upcoming and unreleased MV called Night Creatures.

Luva Games are a small 3 man indie team who I can tell that they really poured their heart into this.

Its a real good one and you can check out my thoughts on it here: https://youtu.be/bRPd1pn4CnY

Please note, this is not intended to be a self plug, idc about the like or sub, but please go check out the video and give the game a wishlist on steam if you like what you see!

Who remembers this goated game will agree it's not just a platformer! Anyone?

You can check the demo here, we have 7k+ wishlists!

Just finished Belmont's Curse at 100%, though I still need to max out two of the spells, and I feel ready to give my overall thoughts. It's a plenty solid Metroidvania, definitely worth looking into if you liked Lost Crown.

Now is it a solid Castlevania title? Well let's see.

The Fleamen still suck.

The platforming can get pretty mean at certain parts.

The clock tower is still an unforgiving gauntlet (though it wasn't purely Medusa Head spam this time).

Death is still one of the hardest bosses.

There's plenty to find and plenty of play style options.

There's no shortage of familiar faces for fans, even a couple for those who are fans of the anime.

Overall, even though Igarashi isn't at the helm for this one, Belmont's Curse is still a Castlevania title through and through. And even though I personally don't care for Dead Cells, I think the Castlevania IP is in good hands with Evil Empire and Motion Twin (at least Konami's actually doing something with the IP after- how many years has it been????).

The only complaints I do have are kind of nitpicky, but it's mainly how harsh the early game can feel at times, but that seems to be a thing with a lot of modern day MV titles these days. Also the game could do with a QoL update or two, mainly a Switch 2 upgrade and some fixes to the times the game crashed (didn't happen often, but when it did, it was typically after it had been a bit since I last saved).

I’ve been playing it 100% no guild,
Took me lots of effort to wander around
Now dracula is defeated and credits roll?

I’ve 2 bosses no where to find, hints please

I’ve seen several people ask if there was a lot of hard platforming in belmonts curse. I did preface each time I answered by saying how far I had made it first. Now that I’ve beaten the game I’ve gotta say, it definitely gets a lot more extreme late game.

That said, Rose’s movements are very fluid and fast so due to that I still think it’s a little easier than things like hollow knight/silksong. It’s also a great game overall and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I do know platforming isn’t for everyone so I’m writing this post to simply clarify that I was mistaken by my early assessment. If you don’t mind a lot of platforming, this was a great game and I highly recommend it. If you’re not a fan of platforming, I’d recommend getting something else.

Okay so I’m waiting ever so patiently for Phantom Blade 0 to drop and I’ve been itching to try a 2D souls-like type game. I’ve played both Ori games which I loved so much btw, tried nine sols for like 5 minutes a long time ago, but other than that I know nothing. I think it’s between Nine sols and Salt and Sanctuary. I’m a huge souls guy, I’ve played all the dark souls, lies of P, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Wuchang, Wo Long, and I’m sure I’m forgetting one or two, but any recommendations would be sweet! Thanks you guys!

I’m currently prototyping some ideas for a metroidvania game, but working on the character controller has left me wondering: what combat systems are fun?

Currently I’m looking at creating a Metroid style system where the weapon and arm rotate to face the mouse. (I grew up loving Metroid Zero Mission on the GBA, but the directional aiming was a bit annoying)

A lot of vanias though use melee systems with directional combat and set animations.

What combat systems do you typically find yourself enjoying the most? Any games that stand out as having distinctively good combat beyond the level design?

just finished castlevania, and i need a new game. has anyone bought a sister's journey yet? how do you like it?

EDIT: i screwed up - its a sister's JOURNEY: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1730790/A_Sisters_Journey/

r/metroidvania, it's live.

The new free demo of Aeterna Lucis is out now on Steam. It's built on the final game: the entire Tower of Light, its first boss, new powers to unlock and a world that keeps shifting around you while you explore.

A few days ago we asked you to help us forge this game. Now you can. Play it, push it, break it, and tell us:

- What made you feel powerful?

- Where did you get lost, stuck or bored?

- How do the movement, the combat, the camera and the new light navigation feel?

- What would you change before December 3?

Every piece of feedback is read by the team, and there's still time for it to shape the final game.

See you in the Tower. ⚔️

I just finished SteamWorld Dig 2 and I was surprised by how much they added compared to the first game. It really feels like a bigger and better experience in almost every way.

Hello everyone,

I've been playing silver pines,having a blast. I gathered all the bells to go to the last area but there's just one thing I'm missing and it's been bugging me a lot.

So, on the silver road where you have the mt.siah kopa sky ride,to the far left,you have a door that opens from the other side. How the hell do I go to the other side? I tried the sewers but couldn't find anything,I tried going through church hill,and still nothing. I've explored the area around the silver road and the digging man and I just can't find the right route. Can anyone help me please?

Thank you to anyone who responds
