SO many games tend to slap RPG elements on nowadays that I really can't consider that to be a defining characteristic of Metroidvanias. This reminds me of the "soulslike" argument around Sekiro where people fight about if it's the same type of game as Dark Souls and Bloodborne if they strip out the RPG elements. The line is super blurry. Also thinking of the new Assassin's Creed games which are considered RPGs because they piled enough elements on top of an open-world action game to get that way. I guess what I'm saying is that as time went on that aspect of Castlevania got way less unique.
