I’d love to see a new 2-D resident evil Metroidvania game. This game is basically already a metrovania in 3-D and I just think it could easily be adapted to the 2-D space.

If you ever want to play a 2d metroidvania version of silent hill + rule of rose step right up!
Probably some of the most fun I’ve had in a survival horror in ages!
I had no idea that existed but that looks absolutely fantastic. It’ll wishlist that one for certain.
Thanks! I’ll check that out.
well I know of one 2D Resident Evil game
Seems like it could be fun. I’ll give it a try.
I have played a Java version of Resident Evil 1 which is top-down but plays mostly the same, except the combat is turn-based. You don’t go to an environment for battles, the actual walking and shooting happens in the main game, I really enjoyed it back then
I’ve never heard of this. It sounds really interesting.
Most console games back in the day had a Java port one way or another. Assassin’s Creed upto III were there and the III version even had naval combat. There was a Bioshock port in which you could basically do all you can in the game, combat and hacking minigames and powerups were similar. We had Doom RPG and Doom 2 RPG, I loved that one particularly because for me it introduced me to Doom with a lot of story and cutscenes, the gameplay was really fun too. God of War has a canon java game lmao
Anyway, about RE1 I think it even preserved all of the puzzles! I don’t think I ever beat it but did play a ton of it. It had a layer of strategy because if you shoot the zombie and it doesn’t die then it will get closer to you when the zombie’s turn comes so you had to plan battles out in a way
I was gonna say I’d love to see a Resident Evil action game but then I remembered Onimusha exists 😅 And I suppose RE 4-6 to a lesser extent.
I feel like Signalis maybe half the way to a Resident Evil metroidvania? Like, if you bring the perspective down to 2D and tie all the areas together, you basically have an RE metroidvania.
What about abilities though? In Metroid, the suit gets the abilities, but no one in the RE cast has a suit or is magic, so I assume you unlock weapons instead?
Yeah, weapons. Take a look at shadow complex. It’s a great Metroidvania. You do unlock a power suit at one point, but other than that, you just upgrade your weapons.
