Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.

This is a cloned community from Reddit. I intend to hand over mod support to the original mods should they choose to migrate to Lemmy.

Hey, check out this cover for our Metroidvania game, BloodBound, drawn by Cathugger! What do you reckon, would it catch your eye on Steam? 👀 By the way, the beta version is currently in active development.

(and also the game about vampires came out after we chose the name. I just looked at it specifically. Well, closer to the release, we will change Steam. But we are unlikely to get lost by the name of the company Aliri)
