Source for this?
IIRC there's no people from the Goemon team on HH (some of the Goemon guys worked on CV64 though).
From what I remember HH was never going to be a MG game, but it did have some staff devs that worked on the MSX Metal Gear games as well as Snatcher, so there's some references thrown in.

For me, it's Big Bross.

Some of the staff that worked on Hybrid Heaven worked on Snatcher and the MSX Metal Gear games.

Unique kind of game that mixes dungeon-crawling/RPG elements with wrestling and 3D fighting.
Not sure if what this anon >>6058021 said is true, but part of the team that worked on Hybrid Heaven actually worked on the MSX Metal Gear games and Snatcher, there's some mild Metal Gear references in there.

You're about to play a very fun game that mixes 3D fighting/wrestling with turn-based RPG mechanics. Although there aren't really any "turns", it's just you need to wait until your stamina bar replenishes.
The more you level up, the more stamina you get, the more crazy supplex moves you learn, the more fun the game is.
The beginning of the game is a bit slow and not very fun, but that's fine because you need to get used to the controls.
As other anon said the platforming is so-so, it works, but it's not the best part of the game, same with the third person shooting aspect. Most of the time you will be just dungeon crawling and fighting anyway.

Fun fact: some of the staff from Hybrid Heaven actually worked on Metal Gear games on MSX and Snatcher.
But HH is actually nothing alike Metal Gear, it's an RPG wrestling game.

Here's the thing, back in the day, some magazines hyped it as "N64's response to MGS", probably because it's from Konami.
The reality is that it's nothing like MGS, it doesn't have stealth, and the camera isn't semi-top down.
Hybrid Heaven has third-person shooting and platforming elements, but the real core of the game is the battle system, in which the game is unique.

However, here's an interesting bit of data, some of the staff that worked on Hybrid Heaven did work on Metal Gear 1 and 2 for MSX, and Snatcher.

Fans of Snatcher too, some of the dev team who worked on Snatcher (and Metal Gear 1 and 2 for MSX; I believe) worked on Hybrid Heaven. The plot is a bit snatcher-y, but more 90s/X-files rather than 80s/blade runner.

Never played WinBack, but I think some kind of reasoning behind Hybrid Heaven is because some of the staff that worked on it also worked on the MSX Metal Gears and also Snatcher... the actual game has nothing to do with MGS though, other than maybe the cold industrial art direction.

it shares some people who worked on the MSX Metal Gear games and Snatcher. No Kojima though.
