I’m just picturing big chambers like Super Metroid, and the characters moving around testing things to see what happens, then putting it together. (Maybe a zoom out button, or the map screen being relatively detailed.) So it could be very similar to the original, just “more”. You’d just need a few sets of puzzles in every chamber, for when they backtrack and revisit areas. Mind you I’m not saying it’s easy to design good levels and puzzles, especially in such a large scale, just that it’s easy for me to imagine it being fun.
Comment on Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs?
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 week agoYeah, I didn’t consider that. The game would probably have to design the map in a way that keeps all the characters relatively nearby, or introduce a mechanic for them to converge more seamlessly, like maybe having save rooms that teleport all of them together or something.

Trine is the modern day Lost Vikings. You just switch characters on the fly.
