Classic Metroidvania
This game quite neatly fits wikipedias description of metroidvania, although there is no experience / leveling mechanic involved. Set in a grim world, you play as a badass hunter in search for his lost son. The game consists of 8 stages, each containing a boss and several secrets. Like in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, you can replay the stages as oft as you want, but once defeated the bosses stay dead. There are also several upgrades which you need to find in the world in order to proceed. Once you have them, you can go back to stages you already beat in order to find some optional power ups / secrets. The game is kind of oldschool in both presentation and gameplay. For example, you have a limited amount of lives (once you lose all of them, you can continue with a new set of 3 lives, but you have to start the current level all over again). There are checkpoints though and if you clear a barrier like a locked door, it will stay unlocked forever. There is a merchant in the game, but his prices permanently rise everytime you buy something (they don't reset after clearing a stage!) so keeping track of your ressources is part of the game if you want to go fully decked to the bosses. This game is mostly about skill and a homage to ghost'n'goblins as well as castlevania, so if you like them you should definitely give it a try. I've heard people can play through the game in 5 hours with 100% completion, but I'm nowhere good as that since I barely covered half the levels after 2.5 hours (which might say more about my lack of skill than about the game). I can only recommend this game from the bottom of my heart - this is the truest successor to the old NES/SNES castlevania games I can think of - thanks to the developers!
