Top 15 Best Dark Metroidvania Games That You Should Play 2024

Gods, the AI voice was killing me. Couldn’t finish. The list seemed okay, but this ai generated content is really lacking luster and the ai voice is extremely off-putting . Verbal uncanny valley.

Finished last faith, moonscars, deaths gambit, bloodstained (last boss too hard) ...grime is freaking HARD no way jose

We need to tell ChatGPT Carrion is not a metroidvania.. but astalon was a nice tip, it's quite good and I never see it in any tier list

I would love to find a platformer/MMO hybrid where i could dump countless hours into character development, something that had raids and dungeons with co op play. Like a WoW or ESO wrapped into a visually nice platformer. With PVP

The Last Faith is 🔥

Awesome list! Thanks a mil! Great games! Got most of them! Love metrovanias!

This list is GOLD

I got them all except the upcoming Elder Magnolia which is obn my wishlist

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Are my 2 Very Best Games and are here in the list!!

OK...clearly, you've never played Bloodstained. Miriam is NOT cursed with her body slowly turning into crystal. She is a SHARD-BEARER. She's not trying to save herself and humanity. She's trying to fulfil a promise to stop her friend. The crystals on her body? That's where her abilities come from. Her abilities act exactly like Soma's in Castlevania: Aria and Dawn of Sorrow. You may be suggesting these games, but don't talk about a game you've never played. Also...Vigil is ONLY available on Steam. The console versions were de-listed years ago....probably because they were the ALPHA version? It's in "Open Beta" on Steam, with the latest "update" only being 2 months ago. They released an Alpha, or Pre-Alpha version on consoles...and charged $30+ for it....and it is almost unplayable.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released in Japan on March 20, 1997, in North America on October 3, 1997, and in Europe in November 1997.

Man this theme is gold you can bring more videos about this but with others genre.

Great list. Have most of these games. Astalon is veeeeeery good, people need to play this game.

Great list. I just beat Hollow Knight last night, and that game is a MASTERPIECE in every way, particularly boss fights and sound design. The Dung Defender is one of my favorite video game characters of all time! Also, Animal Well deserves a spot on this list. What an incredible game THAT is!

I'd sure love it if Vigil actually bothered to make an appearance on the PS4, though.

Blasphemous 1 ❤

You have to respect a list.that has the decency of adding Castlevania SOTN, that game is simply unmissable if you like metroidvanias. The thing is literally half the name of the genre!

Good list bro can you do part 2?

Moonscars is very very Difficult,I still havent finished the game.. Boss battles are very tough!!

Castlevania was released on March 20th, 1997. Not 3/31/07
