It's too bad nobody remembers the beautiful, redheaded homage to Samus Aran that was Jenosa Arma from Scurge: Hive (GBA / NDS) Isometric metroidlike action RPG bounty hunter heroine. She's quite wonderful.
i love games that are roguelikes and soulslikes, but also metroidbornes and soulsbornes and metroidlikes as well as permabornes, bornevanias and roguevanialikes
Gato Roboto is a sharp and clever Metroidlike, you're playing a cat named Kiki, they is suiting a mech, to save Gary ! #NintendoSwitch
metroidvania is a stupid word, castlevania didn't do shit, everything in that genre pulls way more from metroid. anything new sotn brought is barely ever used (also it sux...!!!) this is my stupid hot take hill i will die on. also why i passive-aggressively call them metroidlikes
Only castelvania games can be metroidvanias. The rest are simply Metroidlikes. Give credit where it's due. If you use "Roguelike" (named after the game Rogue), you can suck it all the way up and give Samus her credit!
They're all called Metroidlikes going forward because we're not going to dignify Konami any longer.
