Have a question, do top down style counted as metroidvania ?? Mostly metroidvania games are platformer games, so just curious to know whether top down style can be adopted in metroidvania or not
As long as it sticks to the basic principles of a Metroidvania. Basically, it just has to have exploration, locks or obstacles and ways to get around them (Usually in the form of power-ups), and most of the time backtracking to find new secrets. Obviously, that's not all, but that's basically what it boils down to.
