Comment on I’d love a 2d Resident Evil Metroidvania.

I have played a Java version of Resident Evil 1 which is top-down but plays mostly the same, except the combat is turn-based. You don’t go to an environment for battles, the actual walking and shooting happens in the main game, I really enjoyed it back then

I’ve never heard of this. It sounds really interesting.

Most console games back in the day had a Java port one way or another. Assassin’s Creed upto III were there and the III version even had naval combat. There was a Bioshock port in which you could basically do all you can in the game, combat and hacking minigames and powerups were similar. We had Doom RPG and Doom 2 RPG, I loved that one particularly because for me it introduced me to Doom with a lot of story and cutscenes, the gameplay was really fun too.
Anyway, about RE1 I think it even preserved all of the puzzles! I don’t think I ever beat it but did play a ton of it. It had a layer of strategy because if you shoot the zombie and it doesn’t die then it will get closer to you when the zombie’s turn comes so you had to plan battles out in a way
