Welcome to the Metroidvania ST! We’ll be using the broadest definition of the term here so if you like games like Super Metroid and Castlevania Symphony of the Night and games similar to them this is the thread for you! The focus of this thread is on discussing the Metroidvania games you are playing, upcoming Metroidvanias you are excited about, and any adjacent games, media, and community stuff you think Metroidvania fans would be interested in!
In addition to establishing our home for discussion, I want to do one other thing with the OP here that I’d like to build and maintain together with all of you! There are a lot of Metroidvanias being made all of the time, but it might be a little harder to keep track of them compared to RPGs for example that regularly have the backing of big publishers with marketing. With that in mind, I want to build and maintain a release calendar of Metroidvanias that have caught our eye! Here’s how it will work, basically just make a single post on one game, with one trailer (you can hyperlink more), the release date / window info, and at least a solid reason or two it looks exciting if not more. It can be as simple as the theme looks really unique or the character movement caught your eye for example. Give me some indication you want it added to the calendar (like “Please add this to the calendar xghost777!”) and I’ll then link your post in the calendar below for easy reference. Multiple posts are highly encouraged especially as we build it out! If anyone notices a release date update down the road, just AT me in the thread
Shoutout to @PixelKnight for the amazing ST subtitle and with everything else now said enjoy the thread everyone!
