A modest Metroidvania dump:


Astalon: Tears of the Earth

... aka The Lost Vikings Vania but not really.

nom

pew

The bad guys literally eat babies.

Definitely not Metroid!

Trash Quest

Short Quickievania. Beat it in 2 hours.

more

Found the trash.

Pseudoregalia

PS1 style 3D platformer with thick furry protagonist. But don't worry! The game has the appropriate accessibility features.
And yes, it's supposed to look like this. You can disable the low res filter, but I kept it on to mask the shittiness.

I'll think about it.

Cool platforming, though. It's just a bit short.

Iconoclasts

I have many conflicting thoughts about this one. But it is the most polished one of these games.

more

Rude!

Casually walking through liquefied human remains.

I don't understand what's going on anymore.

Fighting the two pyramid heads. Best boss in the game, one of the few that don't rely on any confusing gimmicks.

Phoenotopia: Awakening

Zelda II x Metroidvania. This is a remake of a flash game, so it looks a bit ... unsophisticated.

more

It has nice backgrounds, though. You can see your village and the sunflower field you get to visit later.

Overworld map.

No Goth Black? Refund!

Target practice.

That's gingerphobia.

Big boss.

With rainbow lazerz!

Maybe I'll write more about them in the metroidvania thread if I feel like it.

Not enough 'vanias ITT yet, methinks...

Vigil - The Longest Night

The level which Hollow Knight's devs achieved in gameplay and combat, was IMO reached by this game's devs in exploration and "systems".

First, let's check out the map:

I mean the entire (lolno, far from it yet) map:

And that's only the "outside". There are also "buildings' insides" and "dungeons":

Areas are so big, that sometimes you also get signs:

Second, systems.

a) Current sword, upgraded 3 times and enhanced with lightning:

Lightning effect (can paralyze enemies) in action:

I'm also using a burning axe for problematic customers...

b) Skill tree (you can invest into swords / axes / daggers / bows and "general" skills):

Wasted EXP on some useless stuff? Worry not, visit the cat ladyboy:

And what do you do in this game except climbing ledges and killing mobs? Well... complete / fail quests:

Bonus: Holy Mary looks like this in game's world:

Verdict (8 hours into the game): and best 'vania since Hollow Knight Haak.

Buy this shit nao.
Kidding, you can't. Taiwanese devs angered the Big Mainland Bro and game has been pulled from eshops' shelves by retarded publishers.

Apparently I bought this back in 2021 at some point and I had already installed on my Steam Deck. Guess I know what I'm playing next.

Italian cars are back, finally.

Vigil - The Longest Night

Great game, I played through it last year. I'm glad I bought it when I did, because now the publisher yanked it off all storefronts due to being butthurt over the developer being... too pro-Taiwan or something? Based on the working title of their next game?

Chinese publishers are snowflakes, man.

Astalon: Tears of the Earth

do you recommend this? I've had it on my wishlist for a bit

 

[Darth Roxor]

tfw you have no friends and have to deathmatch with bots

also your shield is gonna help lots against what's coming to you, popamole fags

 

[Arthandas]

Haha, some monsters in DQ11 can hypnotize your party into laughing or dancing and each char has a unique animation:

I would like to because it's a cool concept for a metroidvania. But there are some issues that annoyed me too much. More details here.

Someone was fiddling with pci slots when they came up with that sword.

I'm having some trouble getting into BG3, so I went back to BG2 (the original, not the cultural genocide that is EE)

Just look at that beautiful UI with the absolutely gorgeous sandstone/vine motif (when played above 640x480).

Gaze upon the comfy textures and drawings. Notice the lack of distracting animations. How the UIs take up the entire screen instead of being confusingly layered on the game view.

Notice the lack of close up "high-def" 3D graphics that kill imagination and make everything look inane

Notice the lack of 3D camera that needs to be tediously rotated all the time

Notice how the fonts aren't focus tested for the TV-using cheeto-munching morons who can't-read-so-good

Note well how in BG2 taking of all off your equipment still leaves your regular clothes on, and thus you cannot examine Jaehira's vulva or Minsc's cock, as you fucking shouldn't be able to, you fucking reddit-reading sex-pest kulturterror ghouls

Infinity Engine UI is awesome and always will be.
I also like the normal clothing of the characters when they aren't wearing anything. Rogue characters have those nice hoods on.

From the Give Credit Where It's Due Dept.:

This does look almost Moria-like.

 

[Vyadhis]

I love this UI so much and I enjoy any game where I can import out of place looking portraits.

Has anyone bothered to mod the original UI to the EEs? Or at least a similar looking UI.

There's a mod that brings back the UIs for both games but the way they are spaced apart and feel its a very "cope"y solution. You can still its been tampered with by beamdog.

just run it centered with blackbars, its fine
