So the most blatant Symphony of the Night rip-off is finally coming to consoles Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a 2020 action role-playing video game originally developed by Team Ladybug (the devs behind the not too shabby Touhou Luna Nights btw) and co-published by Playism and Why so serious? (WSS Playground) for Microsoft Windows. It is based on Ryo Mizuno's Record of Lodoss War series, taking place before the events of Diadem of the Covenant. Controlling the High Elf Deedlit, who finds herself in a strange interconnected labyrinth filled with her past foes and companions, the game focuses on exploration and searching for items and power-ups (very much) in vein of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, fighting bosses and minibosses. During gameplay, the player also locates elemental spirits and swap between each one. The idea for Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth came up when Playism was approached by an editor of the eponymous novels and review the source material. Under supervision of Mizuno, Playism decided to go with the project after seeing that both the material and artwork of Team Ladybug went together. The game is not only inspired by Symphony of the Night but also partly by Ikaruga; while both levels and gameplay were designed to reflect its story concept around exploration. Debut trailer: Console release trailer: The title was first launched via Steam Early Access in March 2020 prior to the full version and received several updates through 2020 and 2021. Versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S are slated for a December 2021 launch. -
Somehow this slipped my radar. Interested piqued (to the extent I've pre-ordered the "normal" physical release from Play-asia). SOTN meets bullet hell. Art/music and play style are definitely scratching that DS era castlevania itch.

Shinsekai (litt.: new earth) is a stunning new metroidvania game from the Capcom team behind the first two Lost Planet games, and was released earlier today on the Nintendo Switch eShop and a few months before that through Apple arcade. The land has been covered with ice, forcing mankind to take refuge in the ocean. Years have passed, but the all-consuming ice moves slowly but steadily on, and civilization has fallen into decay. One lone survivor lives on in solitude. Desolate days lead into aimless nights, and the aquanaut passes the time in rote repetition. But one day, a chance encounter leads to the discovery of a mysterious drone-like machine. That meeting will lead them both deeper into a vast undersea world. "What happened to the world above?" "Are there others out there?" "What secrets lie at the bottom of the ocean?" Venture deeper as you seek answer to these and other questions whose answers may lie down below. The undersea world that awaits is both beautiful and terrible. Encounter sea creatures, brave mounting water pressure, and conserve oxygen as you press on into the undersea ruins, seeking the truth.
