Castlevania: Belmont's Curse developers are trying really, really hard to make sure you know it's a metroidvania without using the word 'metroidvania'

Developers of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse are emphasizing its exploration-focused gameplay, drawing inspiration from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, without explicitly using the term 'metroidvania'. The team at Evil Empire confirms the game is not a roguelike and features intricate world design and RPG-lite elements, aligning with the 'metroidvania' tag on Steam.
