I'm trying to find ARPGs that would be good for a fan of the Igavanias like me (essentially the Castlevania games on the GBA and DS plus some others)My first look is in the Mana series, and from watching gameplay videos online, its gameplay looks similar to the 2D zeldas which I also enjoyed. Would the Mana series be good for an Igavania fan?And in that case, any other ARPGs I should try?

>>12593024What makes you like the Igavanias and what are you looking for in ARPGs?
>>12593037The loot, grindiness, and overall fast-paced and responsive combat is what gravitates me towards Igavanias the most.Some other ARPG systems I enjoyed a lot in Igavanias were the robust equipment slots, quests, shopping, crafting etc. It's part of what makes Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night among my favorite games.I'm also a sucker for exploration, which made playing each Igavania the first time hit so hard for me.
