What are some shorter metroidvanias you enjoyed?
Hollow Knight is nice and good, but sometimes you just want something shorter
Short Metroidvanias

Cave Story is not a metroidvania (it's extremely linear unless you want some bonus weapon upgrades) but it's short and sweet.
Brayden Lopez
I remember playing an indie metroidvania with really simply graphics and I think you played a slime or something. It was years ago and I don't remember the name, unfortunately
Cooper Thomas
SMT Synchronicity
You'll need to find the english patch, but it's a fucking great game, and not too long
Amazing soundtrack too
Anthony Campbell
Elliot Quest had some branching story
Levi Cox
Momodora 2

>SMT Synchronicity
>Initially, the game was labelled a hoax (ๅใงใ, uso desu)? in the Japanese trailer for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux on October 13, 2017
>Three days later it was revealed to be a fully playable game ready for public access as part of the 25th anniversary of the Megami Tensei series and marketing campaign

Lyle in cube sector, the music is great too
Easton Edwards
MegaTen Synchronicity was fun.
Juan Jackson
Hero and Hero Core are relatively short.
Mason Carter
Whoa that looks good.
Jacob Martinez
Shantae: Risky's Revenge isn't a metroidvania
But it understands how to implement the movement and upgrade system to make a good Metroidvania. So you get a lot of the same kicks out of it, regardless of the fact its a dungeon platformer.

I've never played or even known about the Momodora games for the longest time and have been interested in getting into them lately. Anything I should know? Like a particular order I should play them in or if I should skip some of the entries.
Andrew Murphy
Especially dying to spikes simulator
With perfect parry anti spike tech

Super Metroid

Super Skelemania. Took me about an hour or so. Has an interesting take on mobility, worth checking out
Ayden Harris
oh shytt I almost forgot about these games, no idea what underground is like but the original game was really nice
Anthony Cox
Momodora
Jose Reed
Gabriel Lee
Best choices in this thread because I'm assuming OP has played Cave Story if he likes the genre.
Colton Johnson
I've been thinking about playing this series. Is it full of lewd or is it just ecchi? Do I miss out substantially on playing the Switch version or should I just get it on PC?
Matthew Roberts
Hydra Castle Labyrinth is a good one
Cooper Thomas
Xeodrifter is THE mini metroidvania.
Can be completed even blind in about 2 hours, but it's super fun and the mechanics are so tight you will really wish it was bigger
I came to recommend Momodora 4, havent played the others
Ethan Anderson
Came here to say this. It's a sleeper pick but I think it's cool.
Zachary Howard
Only ecchi (attributed only to the character designs) and implied yuri. Switch version should be the same as PC.
Wyatt Campbell
Strider is short, you can do a run in like 2-3 hours if you know where to go
Joseph Allen
Vision Soft Reset has a pretty cool time travel mechanic.
Isaiah Foster
Thanks, dude
Jonathan Williams
This just on early access with plenty of short levels and missions.
Zachary Martinez
By the way, if anyone is looking for Core of Innocence, I could upload it.
Justin Cox
>Anything I should know?
The odd games are linear and the even ones are metroidvanias. Also the first one gets hard as balls near the end.
>Like a particular order I should play them in or if I should skip some of the entries.
Just play them in release order. No reason to skip any of them since they're all pretty short and none of them are offensively bad.
Lucas Hernandez
Momodora isn't a metroidvania though. It's linear as shit.
Connor Miller
SteamWorld Dig 2
David Flores
Uh.
Adrian Wilson
What's wrong buddy?
Chase Stewart
It was okay
But not great
10/10 linear
