Not retro but if you love the metroid series try Scurge: Hive on the gba/ds. Think metroid but more focus on combat then exploration. It's more about combat as well as managaing time as your character has a infection you need to heal constantly.

Congratulations anon, you're missing the point AGAIN. There are many ways to create threads to discuss different topics but demanding, I repeat DEMANDING, requests is not a good way to start off. Please point where there's actually anything being discussed instead of "give me games!", "er .. how about this or this game?" or "thanks".

>>4152309
>you're just whining
Caring about the quality of discussions equals whining to you? Is it really that weird to point out there's a global rule that forbids requests for reasons I already stated here? And I'm supposed to be the guy whining?

I seriously hope you're just trolling because if you guys are actually serious about this then I don't know anymore.

Meta posting is never good. If you don't think a thread should be here mark it for moderation and move along. If the janitors see an issue they'll delete it, otherwise it's not your problem. If it really bothers you just hide it.

But posting in the thread about how it shouldn't be here or you don't approve of it will only lead to flame wars. So if your interest is the good of the board, use the systems in place and the mods and janitors to sort it out.

>>4150924
It might be too action focused for you, but the Oasis games, Beyond Oasis and Legend of Oasis might suit you well. It's a bit like Zelda mixed with a brawler.

There's also Light Crusader, which some love and others hate. It's an odd game with a number of issues, but some really cool puzzles.

Another recommendation I can't believe I didn't think of first, one of my all time favorite games which is all about exploration and puzzles.

If you're not afraid of drowning and don't mind learning a new control scheme, Ecco the Dolphin and Tides of Time are truly wonderful.

>It's a bit like Zelda mixed with a brawler.
Its mostly a brawler, with little to no Zelda. It shouldn't even reach any comparisons since you leave the adventure field for a completely linear experience 1/3 into the game.

the note says to put the number of marker switches into the imager in the forechamber at the dock, but i have no idea how to even punch the number into the thing, and i have no idea how to meaningfully interact with anything else. there's the two books with dudes in them that want colored pages, the generator with all the buttons i can punch on, the time-machine looking thing right off the dock, and i don't know how to work any of it

No, fuck you for trying to get other people to play that aids-infested garbage.

Oh hey, what if we made a metroidvania from an awful isometric viewpoint! Great idea! And lets put a timer on the player to put pressure on them NOT to explore! In a metroidvania game! And then let's just fucking dump enemies into every room! All the enemies! The same enemies you just killed and looked away from for 20 seconds!

Great idea!
