And you have no idea yet how much value Metroid Dread holds, since you’ve seen a. Sat 19th Jun we have absolutely no idea how much it costs to develop a game.It's sad to see Nintendo Life misusing this word, especially since they're English and should understand their own language better than anyone else. In other words, the idiot youtubers actually risk deleting a word from the English vocabulary. That sucks because if this goes on, we'll have no word by which to identify the Castlevania games that play like Metroid. A few idiot youtubers use the term Metroidvania to refer to any game that is similar to Metroid (even if it has nothing in common with Castlevania). They were jokingly asking, "Is this Castlevania or Metroidvania?", because the games played more like Metroid than Castlevania.Ī non-Castlevania game that has Metroid chaaracteristics is simply a Metroid-like. The term was first used by forum users who were discussing the three Castlevania games on the Game Boy Advance, along with Castlevania Symphony of the Night. and I'd agree with your terms 'Action-platformer, 2D exploration games, side-scrolling adventure' being a good starting point.Ī "Metroidvania" is a Castlevania game that features the exploration and area-unlocking characteristics of Metroid. The article showed me most of these terms are losing meaning and that even professional gaming websites that I generally respect don't give a c**p about using established game-genre conventions. But NL's list included a lot of Metroidvanias, rogue-likes and run and guns that have never traditional been consider platformers. To me the decades-long established genre grouping for a platformer is something like:Īn action based game that revolves predominately around precision jumping in particular - with many 'true platformers' also involving the classic jumping-on-heads attack move. Half the games on the list were not at all - and they missed many of the most prominent examples on Switch. 'Platformer' for example used to mean something very specific but now it's used in a very loose sense that drives me crazy - and recently NL did an article on the best so called platformers. At least Metroidvania gives you a fairly reasonable idea. Mon 4th Mar Hmmm, In general I see your point but at least Metriodvania is a bit more specific than some other terms we use in gaming - such as JRPGs, rogue-likes, shmups.If you even get hit, it doesn't matter you won't get below 70%. Most of the times unhit but if you are unlucky enough to get hit, it hurts for sure.Ĭonjunctivius: Probably the longest bossfight but EXTREMELY easy. HoTK: Has high HP but his moveset is mega predictable and easy to dodge/parry. When she sprouts her claws from the ground just sit in one position and move when you see the water. Mama Tick: To be honest Mama Tick is pretty easy, it's just that I get hit most of the times. Otherwise I never really die from her but I might use a potion if unlucky Time Keeper: I can almost never get the Legendary Weapon from this boss because she always hits me with her swords or her phase or her ranged projectiles. Otherwise he's pretty tough with the high ceiling of damage that he does. Giant: Man this guy was tough when I wasn't realising that using the masochist mutation + armadilopack (or force shield). It's just how quick you have to get him to the last phase/him not melting through your tactics build As all of you who have killed him, you know that it doesn't matter how much damage you do. He has so little HP and can easily get destroyed by OP builds but when I want to try a wacky one I always die.Ĭollector: He's 100% the hardest boss (I just hate the Scarecrow man). You need to have a busted af build to destroy him.
