It definitely doesn't mean RPG, as all of those games are very linear and lack any sort of roleplaying aspect.
Logan Hughes
why is it even called metroidvania when it's literally just metroid
Camden Phillips
that's so Kafkaesque
Justin Wood

No video game is anywhere near "true" RPG. All are cheap imitations of tabletop, including WRPGs even if they have slightly more premade choices to choose from.

There're some aspects more iconic to the Igavania titles such as having physical weapons and no lasers, fast travel points and RPG elements.

Fucking retard, now make a strawman where you imply I'm stuttering and seething and make sure to add a bunch of xDs and "le"s to the end of my post too

There has never been a game that describes itself this way that wasn't hot trash that shat all over whatever X is.

"Metroidvania" is the fucking worst. Call them exploration platformers.
Ian Allen
I just call Souls games "From games" now. With Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring, we can't collectively refer to these as "Souls" games anymore.
Parker Hernandez

Xavier Ward
I call them action RPGs because that's what they are.
