Topic	Are metroidvanias actually an rpg subset?
Mac Arrowny 04/12/20 8:34:19 PM #14:	Paratroopa1 posted... I don't consider Monster Boy a Metroidvania at all. Something's only a Metroidvania to me if it's a game that's quite similar to Symphony of the Night, the original Metroidvania; a Metroid-like labyrinth of tightly and complexly interlocked hallways, and equipment/stats/leveling up. Yes, they are a subset of RPGs, but only if they're actually Metroidvanias. Otherwise, it's just a Metroid-like, or just some kind of other platforming action adventure. So you don't think definitions can change over time? --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:937280924] in Are metroi...
