Davis from Denkiphile: "The problem with indie games right now is that just about every developer feels that they can improve a formula or recreate some nostalgic genre for players. Sadly, that isn’t usually true. Just once in a while though, as with non-indie games, some titles stand out among the rest and fulfill their missions. UnEpic, an indie title created by Spain’s Francisco Téllez de Meneses, is a Metroidvania title that does just this – delivering a funny experience that has kept up with the times yet retains all the difficult, unforgiving designs of older titles."
Eastasiasoft today announced that they will release the Ghost 1.0 + Unepic Collection, two popular metroidvania titles, physically on one cart for Nintendo Switch, as well as a physical and digital Asian release of Ghost 1.0 for PS4 in Q3 2019.
GameSpew: If you find yourself craving to play a Metroidvania game on Switch there are plenty for you to choose from. Here are the ones which we think are the best.
You just reminded me I have Steamworld dig 2 on my Switch !! Need to finish it off, was outstanding what I played so far.
No mention of Dead Cells? Got that game recently and it's freaking awesome!
I would absolutely include Yoku's Island Adventure on this list. It's different, but the same basic concept of get new item or ability, progress to areas previously unavailable
Dark Souls continues to influence game mechanics, especially metroidvania platformers. Souls-like metroidvanias are becoming a norm on the steam store.
