Topic	Is Dark Souls an rpg?
direshall 04/12/20 5:13:15 PM #62:	foolm0r0n posted... This is why metroidvania is a terrible term SOTN is clearly an RPG at heart. Metroid is clearly not. Not at all. There is much more work done in the level design, gameplay, pattern, hitboxes of SOTN than in its stats system. The leveling of SOTN is completely broken and was probably thrown at the end of the development. In SOTN you unlock new physical capacities to reach new parts of the map, exactly like a Metroid game. Improving your stats doesn't unlock new part of the map, it's a very secondary system compared to all the possibiliies the physical engine of the game offers. <cite>direshall posted [p:937269468] in Is Dark So...
