>I’ve always been a fan of Metroidvanias
Well, Ecclesia tried to be a mix between Classic and Metroidvania, with the first half of the game featuring more linear stages akin to the former with the latter coming into play once you reach Dracula's Castle. I for one loved it, in combat, levels, soundtrack, setting, characters, even the plot was more interesting than your average Castlevania with Shanoa, Albus and some of the villagers being standouts.
