/vr/ - Retro Games

Yeah most people are suggesting difficult games based on that I look for Souls like games. But I didn't ask for difficult games, but for ones that share either aesthetics or gameplay elements of Souls.

Dragon Buster, Rastan, Maze of Galious and Legacy of the Wizard all look like what I was looking for. But sadly those games aren't that easily available to me except through emulation.

Metroidvania games is a good suggestion, I like backtracking and intertwined paths (one of the main reasons I love Souls). What are some metroidvanis that aren't Metroid or Castlevania or La-Mulana?

I kind of do not like dungeon crawlers, though. Most I know of consist of redoing the same boring locations again and again just to farm materials for forging, and the combat of those I know of is very minimalistic. Wow that kinda sounds like the Souls games, but it's not, ya know? Care to recommend good dungeon crawlers?
