Elderand. Much better Castlevania-like than this.

This isn't a castlevania-like. It's a Capcom/Treasure/Taito-like. Stop confusing its visual design for its gameplay design...People act like 5 series of games exist when there used to be hundreds of platform games. Castlevania wasn't even remotely the most popular thing

[Kenny R.]

Did you see Elderand? It is like Castlevania! The developer even said Castlevania was the game in mind when he made it. And how could you say Castlevania isn't even remotely the most popular thing in gaming? You high or something?

Thats not quite true. Its definitely very castlevania inspired, but its closer to Rondo of Blood than the Metroidvania games that came after SotN. And it all depends on what aspects of the game OP enjoyed. Obviously I'd recommend Rondo of Blood if you enjoyed this game, since it plays the most similarly, but even then has its own differences.

[Kenny R.]

Rondo of blood wasn't a metroidvania, Elderand is a MV. Elderand was made more like SOTN. It's the exact same type of gameplay and mechanics.

Also try Lords of Exile. It's coming out soon and is like this game.

Hmm, it'd probably be useful if you can point out elements of the game you like and want to see in other games.

In terms of this game's exact package, it is quite unique and there won't really be much that is too similar.

Oh, curse of the Moon 1 and 2 are very good examples of the classic style of Castlevania, which this kinda leans more towards. If you enjoyed more of the backtracking,looking at the metroidvania tags will get you lots of options.

[Kenny R.]

Scarlet Symphony is like this game, but is more a MV. It's title screen even looks just like this game with the face by the castle n stuff, and the annoying voices and sounds are nonstop just like this game. Are you looking for classicvania, or metroidvania?

dear lord, with how much this guy was hyping Elderand like the second coming, I checked it out, and it looks so dopey. looks like someone turned on DK mode with these ginormous heads on the main character(s). it kinda looks terrible

[khaosklub]

it all really depends on what you mean by "like this".

what aspects of this game did you like? if you liked the gameplay, as mentioned earlier, bloodstained:curse of the moon made by the same devs is a very similar series, but less cutesy and pervy.

if you like the pervy part of it, you can go full perve with midnight castle succubus or castle in the clouds.

if you like the anime part of it, there's record of the lodoss war-deedlit in wonder labyrinth. more of a metroidvania though.

if you just like the dark atmosphere of it, there's also bloodstained: ritual of the night and the castlevania collections.

[Kenny R.]

How am I hyping it like the 2nd coming? All I did was answer the question and recommend the game. You ppl must be a nightmare to know personally.

[khaosklub]

because person can type "oranges aren't like apples" and you'll comment
"but elderrand is! it's definitely an apple, the most apple of apples to ever apple"

It's the fact you're recommending it because it's a Metroidvania rather than because it's like this game (which isn't a Metroidvania)

I can't think of too many games exactly like this beyond Curse of the Moon (which obviously you should play immediately if you liked this) and Rondo of Blood (again, play this). Maybe throw Order of Ecclesia in since it has less Metroidvania BS than other contemporary Castlevania games and is pretty fun

Mega Man Zero series is legendary and uh... you can shoot and use a sword in it, just like this game! And you can go back to levels and find upgrades! See, it's basically the same thing. e: also Grim Guardians includes the feature where slashing attacks cause enemies to get cut in half for their death animation, something that MMZ pioneered

Stretching it a bit more I remember Cyber Shadow a couple years back satisfying me very well despite a couple of issues, it does linear levels with some side routes for unlockables and has a good level of challenge with solid level design for the most part

Also it's not like this game at all besides being a 2D platformer but play Gunvolt 3 because it pwns, simple as

This game wasn't bad, kind of bland though and I'd definitely recommend their Touhou game over it, personally
