>>740160518>sanabiwould recommend
>>740160306>Brazilian game in that imageBRAZILIANS EVERYWHERE, MAKE IT STOP!
>>740160306I have been enjoying the Classicvanias via an online emulator.
>>740160306Spikeslop has less assets to make when there are no enemies in those games
Basically the thing with action platformers is that you can't make it like a tranny 2d platformer such as celeste or so on, where the challenge is just memorizing inputs for a set level. They need to have randomness and dynamic enemy behaviour, which brutally rapes 99% of players (see something like ghouls n ghosts which everyone pretends is the hardest thing ever just because of rng enemy spawning) so they have to water it down with the metroidtrania structure to get them into the gate.
>>740161275>sanabi mentionedvery good game, the dlc was especially really challenging, tons of fun
>>740161298just mention 7-1 and they'll go away.
Inti has both and the vanias are clearly winning…
I wish they would do a Classicvania with the catch and throw mechanic that was in Castlevania 4's concept.
>>740160306Garbanzo Quest
>>740160306All platformers are action games, are you retarded
>>740160306No one wants them because it requires strong game design fundamentals which have virtually no payoff in terms of visible engagement metrics that have unfortunately come to dominate modern vidya (metroidvania shit, roguelike/randomizer sludge, speedtranny garbage).
>>740160306Nintendo fans are xenophobic and indies cannot get a devkit to put their hypothetical action platformer on that console.
>>740160306>Also top-left is free right nowMan you really had me going. I thought this was a shill-free thread.
>>740165018I think he specifically wants platformers with guns and kicking and stuff. More like Megaman or Shatterhand I guess? Idk. It does seem pedantic.Does Mario not count even though he stomps on enemies and shoots fireballs? Do Metroid and Cavestory not count because you have to explore a little bit? What about WarioLand and Pizza Tower? What exactly is the requirement here?
>>740168858Old Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden. The ones that put combat at the forefront.
>>740160306Last year had shinobi art of vengeance and ninja gaiden ragebound and they both flopped terribly. It‘s a dead genre with the exception of mario
One of the best action games of our times was released a few years back, Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn. Unfortunately, it was considered too hard. There was also a new The Legend of Dark Witch, the fourth one, but I don't know if anyone played it.
>>74016030699% of people would rather buy a 10 hour Metroidvania than a 1 hour Megamania
>>740160306Why is there a 3 year gap between Gravity Circuit and the sequel? How can a 12 level game take so long?
>literal slop that is just copies of other "classic" gamespls kill yourwself loser faggot normie shitposter
>>740172753What do you enjoy? I’m curious because it’s probably derivative as well.
>>740172843its a fact what i statedyou touching such slop is your fault, not mineto fuk with you i am currently playing dungeons and dragons online as its the only mmo thats kinda decent as wurm is a dead land and technically barebonesi have 13k hours in dota 2, and can play any moba, or game for that matter as ive learned how people play. i could go into combat and be the best soldier there, or any field, from engineering or menial work (altho i would need training in engineering)you are an npc normie kys kike
I've tried the Shinobi game and I've played a few Megamans in my life but I feel like I just sorta suck at them lol... They're fun though. My favourite games in the genre would be the Vanillaware stuff like Odin's Sphere and Muramasa but they're very generous to the player.What other games kinda have the Vanillaware vibe? I've had my eye on Shadow of the Ninja for a while but I'd hate getting stuck on some mandatory challenge run thing.
>>740173014Yeah I don’t like MMOs or MOBAs. I primarily play platformers and metroidvanias, which clearly you don’t like. We live in 2 different worlds.
>>740161515Spikeslop design is simple and easier for the devs, not players. These games also have enemies and "rng" in the form of variance Funny you post gravity circuit. It's an easy game to speedrun
>>740160306But Silksong is the best action-platformer ever made, it's barely a year old
>>740173393The Vagrant is sorta similar to Vanillaware
>>740160306We are getting KINO Avenger iX 3 sometime in the future, so i'm very much looking forward to that. I also played Cogen Sword of Rewind. Pretty cute game, a bit on the short side, like inly 6 levels. It has some extra stuff like missions you complete as you go through the levels, they can extend the game for a bit. And there are also extra dlc characters to play the game through. Also copen has a cameo as a playable character and boss iirc. i would recommend it if it goes on sale. A lesser megaman zeroalso the entire game is a Vocaloid adhttps://youtu.be/2YtMEiJ2evM?si=zmZrb1efJ_hMP6HU
