Topic	We need to kill the term metroidvania.
Jiggy101011 09/24/18 8:43:15 AM #42:	DPsx7 posted... Jiggy101011 posted... The last game I heard coined metroidvania is Hollow Knight and I think thats an accurate description. I always figured that metroidvania meant 2d side scroller where backtracking is involved because certain areas of the map can only be accessed with certain powerups/items you get later on. I didnt know RPG elements had to exist for the term to be correct. Wanna try that one myself. Is it Switch only? That's how I explain it. One large map, segmented into areas you can quick travel to. Progress is advanced by gaining new abilities. I don't put much focus onto the RPG part because SotN really wasn't an RPG in the traditional sense. You get XP and levels but it's not like you're improving from a skill tree or anything. I guess with all the indies blurring the lines between genres it's getting harder to categorize everything. It comes out for PS4 and Xbox One soon. A game like that works best on Switch though IMO, one of those games thats fun to play on the go. --- Gamertag: F1RE v2 PSN ID: F1REx Man got me a 9 and she sexy. <cite>Jiggy101011 posted [p:909348150] in We need to...
