The closest that springs to mind is Bloodrayne Betrayal, which is decent, but... not quite right.

Basically, a whole game that feels like the segments of NieR Automata where the camera locks to the side and restricts you to a 2D plane.

And I actually own all of these and couldn't think of them.

The Shank games are underrated.

Check out the Bleed games, they're super good and frequently very cheap.

Came in to say Bloodrayne Betrayal and found that was the first post saying it's "not quite right" lol

Honestly for me Castlevania games scratch the itch best despite lack of style meter.

Distorted Travesty 3 is a good free one if you wanna go way down the indie rabbit hole

In terms of design philosophy this is exactly what Viewtiful Joe is. (Unsurprising since all three are Kamiya titles.)

None of this is good, Vector. That's why it's called "a Sonic game." - Knuckles the Echidna

Aces Wild is a lesser-known choice in this genre

I was going to say I've never heard of this one, but I looked it up on Steam and apparently I own it. Must have been in a bundle at some point.

Let's check it out.

I feel like this is similar to a style of game I want more of, except I describe it as Marvel vs Capcom style combat. Like give me a Magnetovania and I'm there.

I can vouch for Shadow of the Beast on PS4

I also agree with Shank
