1,065One of the best ways to know that you’ve made it in the world of video games iswhen you spawn scores of imitators and have an entire genre named after you. That’s exactly what’s happened to the Metroid and Castlevania series, which are both so iconic that their mechanics have gone on to inspire tonnes of similar titles. Obviously, if you want the original Metroidvania experience, then you’re going to want to pick up one of the Metroid or Castlevania titles, but what if space isn’t your thing or you can’t stop laughing at the name “Alucard” because it’s super ridiculous? Never fear, because TripleJump is here, and we’re about to lay upon you the finest video games that are neither Metroid nor ‘Vania. Here are 10 Great Metroidvania Games that Aren’t Metroid or Castlevania.
