Unepic takes you back to the days of classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) adventure and role-playing games (RPG). With its 2D platforming, no guidance in exploration and very high difficulty, Unepic is a throwback to games like classic Ghosts n' Goblins for the original NES.
Eastasiasoft today announced that they will release the Ghost 1.0 + Unepic Collection, two popular metroidvania titles, physically on one cart for Nintendo Switch, as well as a physical and digital Asian release of Ghost 1.0 for PS4 in Q3 2019.
GameSpew: If you find yourself craving to play a Metroidvania game on Switch there are plenty for you to choose from. Here are the ones which we think are the best.
No mention of Dead Cells? Got that game recently and it's freaking awesome!
I would absolutely include Yoku's Island Adventure on this list. It's different, but the same basic concept of get new item or ability, progress to areas previously unavailable
Dark Souls continues to influence game mechanics, especially metroidvania platformers. Souls-like metroidvanias are becoming a norm on the steam store.
