Is Bloodstained a Metroidvania game?

When the King of the Castlevania half of the Metroidvania sub genera makes his ideal spiritual successor to the Castlevania games he made, yeah I think its fair to call it a Metroidvania.

Something about Bloodstained is just off. I think it’s the speed of the game and how slow the animations are. There is no impact with the hits either. It just seems a bit boring.

Same problem I have with all igavanias.

Yea basically every single Igavania suffers from that particular issue. Its something you just have to deal with in his games if you want to play them.

yeah that’s the thing—every time I’ve seen footage of that game, I just don’t like how slow it looks… I will always prefer a faster pace with most games though, regardless of genre. Release ā€œTurbo Editionā€ of that shit and they might get my attention for sure. Everything else about it looks great though

Guacamelee isn’t that slow and it’s hits have impact.

Guacamelee has CAWMBOWS

god that game is so fun. Any game that gives you that I-just-fucked-these-people-up feeling is a great one.

I misread his post. My bad.

Shit if I remember right, all 3 NES titles have you moving at a snails pace, with laggy and clunky controls that was intentionally done. Super Catstlevania 4 is Easy more, with Rondo of Blood and Bloodlines going back to slow again.

I prefer the description ā€œdeliberateā€ā€¦>.>

Metroidvanis should only apply to games in the Castlevania series under the same formula as SOTN (considering how it was a departure from the classic CV formula), otherwise GTFO with other games from other series being named like that
