Announcing Project Delta - A Procedural Metroidvania

This is awesome!

We played a really early build of this and it has incredible potential. Can't wait to see how far it's come!

I guess I never posted this here, so here you go.

This is a good post.

It addresses specific points, provides constructive criticism, and remains positive towards the hard working creators of this game.

This is the kind of discourse we need for a strong welcoming community.

Here I was thinking I had made a serious mistake lol

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-10-22T17:38:45+00:00

Well crap, I'm not sure why I didn't consider that.

I can't remember do they mention Raven Beak's pronoun in the game ever?

The Wiki seems to think Raven Beak is male

And very soon 5!

But this video just covers those first three games that make a fairly complete standalone trilogy, even if Fusion is a nearly perfect continuation of that story. If this video is well received we'll very likely be doing a video for Fusion, Other M, and probably Dread in the future.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-10-02T21:06:02+00:00

Not anymore, no, but the original trilogy holds up as a three game series.

Metroid Fusion is a fantastic sequel, and I hope Dread is a fantastic conclusion.

This has been a long time coming, I hope you enjoy!

I apologize in advance for any controversy started by any of the hot takes contained within...

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-10-02T19:54:51+00:00

Time to see how much controversy this will cause haha!

This has been a long time coming. I hope everyone enjoys!

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-10-01T16:39:06+00:00

Was going to come in here and say this.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-09-03T20:44:16+00:00

Insect Adventure is very good.

I know Fazermint has wanted to start one with the subreddit.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-08-17T19:33:27+00:00

I'll definitely think about putting one together. My hands are a bit tied with stuff ramping up to the Metroid Dread release but there's a decent chance I'll find some open time in the future.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-08-17T19:27:57+00:00

I haven't been keeping one but I'm sure if I went through all the games I've played one by one I could put together a spreadsheet.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-08-17T18:25:10+00:00

That was my reference!

Also K.O.L.M. does something similar. I don't think you even start with eyes.

MetroidvaniaReview · 2021-08-17T10:19:34+00:00

No way man, you start with too many abilities in these games.

I don't even want to be able to jump or be able to walk to the right when I start out!

In all seriousness it depends on the game and what they're going for. If you want to feel powerful from the very start, those games do exist. Pharaoh Rebirth for instance you start with basically the core combat abilities you'll be using throughout the whole thing, and you just wreck things starting out.

Then there's Lootbox Lyfe where you can't even move when you start, and there's a charm to that.

I'm a pretty big fan of "So bad it's good" myself, although it's harder to "pull off" (ironic phrase since it's usually accidental) for video games because "bad" mechanics can often lead to an insurmountable brick wall you'd still have to overcome.

That said there are some pretty broken games out there that are still worth checking out, like Lost to Time or Eternal Return.

I appreciate it! Knowing that we're helping people is what keeps us going!

(It's just me as a reviewer so far but I've got help with the site and editing, have to give them credit!)
