Ghost Hand looks amazing!! You should be really proud of your work :)

[@jasondonnelly150]

I really like that one too! Can’t wait for it!

[@Luckyoo2023]

😄Hello, I am the Producer of Soul Blade. Thank you for liking our game. In the future, I will share more game introductions on KZbin and Twitter.

[@dewbornedawn]

Thank you so much for including our game and shouting out our Kickstarter! :D So many amazing gems on here too, its an honor to be shown alongside them.

[@azuarc]

Backed. Best of luck!

[@dewbornedawn]

@@azuarc Thank you so much!

[@zeldamaster52]

I'm a playtester for Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus and the team thanks you for the shoutout and high praise of having it in your top 5. You won't be disappointed when you finally get to play it!

[@ClemmyGames]

2024? 👀

[@RelyeaGaming]

Very excited to play Bo.

[@csidesummit]

Sorry to hear it's been a rough year for you, Clemmy. HOpe things take a turn for the better, soon. We all appreciate what you do here. :)

[@ClemmyGames]

I appreciate that, thank you for the support as always

[@jjonahjonahson]

This was a really nice surprise - thanks for including my game (Faye Freelance)! I promise I'll have more to show next year-much more! I'm actively heads-down on lots of little (and big) things in it. I'm so happy to be included next to so many incredible games.

[@Gloomsoft]

Hey Clemmy, thanks so much for including Moadra in your list - to quickly confirm, we are working full-time on the game and will post a proper update as soon as possible!

[@Cochalita2012]

Is your game 'follow the cursor' type of game? I hope not.

[@MertAliBarlas]

Hey Clemmy, thanks for including Ceplion! I'm still working on it. I'm not sure about the release date right now. But I'm not alone anymore. We are working on the project two people now! Thanks, everyone! Wishlists are appreciated :)

[@PatientGami]

Your videos make my wishlist enormous , my backlog gigantic and empty my wallet! Keep up the good work and continue the amazing content and insight you provide in indie gaming community!

[@Tjways]

Ikr, I forgot how to touch grass once I subscribed to this guy

[@_xtel]

Same here. I had about 9 games - now I currently have 73.

[@bravoalley228]

I have too many on my wishlist.

[@RelyeaGaming]

Wow! Absolutely amazing list. Didn’t realize how many games I would be excited for. Thank you for putting this together!

[@commentarytalk1446]

Soul Blade - Had a lot of panache in that trailer. Impressive. Ceplion - has great panned out perspective making the levels look more interesting and mixing combat and precision platforming is a double-feather in it's cap. Savior - Looks the part but it sounds like the development may not be keeping pace? Animal Well - Very stylistic aesthetic and distinct. Rebel Transmute - Hard not to like the retro samus look with a living environment (big bonus doing this). Twilight Monk - is onto a winner with that weapon: A big iron pillar-like thing that goes: "THONK!" How satisfying! The Siege And The Sandfox - Personally this might be my favourite style: A sense of real climbing around levels, sliding and hanging and, fingers-crossed, tossing bodies off ledges to dispose of the evidence... Could be Perfect! Bo: Path Of The Tea Lotus - That's my favourite art style so far: Glad you had a go and the combat/movement all feel slick to go with those visuals. Hollow Knight: Silksong - The movement is precise and controlled an acrobatic and feel dexterous: No wonder it's Top of the Wishlists. I feel like others for me would be more enjoyable but can see what's at the heart of this and agree should be a mega-indie hit.

[@VoragineGameStudios]

It makes us very happy to see Eden's Guardian on this video together with so many other amazing games! Thank you so much for including it. ♥⚔

[@Terron29]

Fantastic upload mate. Lots of new games here I have never heard of and have added them to my steam wishlist to keep track. Keep up the great work!

[@btfDrews]

Thank you for including Constance 💜💜

[@ClemmyGames]

you're welcome! Very pretty game

[@AzzRushman]

Man, what a double surprise with Grime 2, and also Timespinner 2! Even the devs behind Lodoss War and 9 Years of Shadows got something? Maaaan what a year!

[@wayslow]

Great list, found a few new titles to wishlist, thanks Clemmy!

[@pc4135]

So many great games on here. Clearly the best indie game youtube channel. Wishing you a much better 2024.

[@bastiartgames]

Ngl this list is insane, great work as always Clemmy. (And thanks for including LF2 :>)

[@supernova2846]

isn't Nine sols a metroidvania, cuz I can't believe you forgot it

[@ClemmyGames]

It’s a 2D Sekiro like so it will be under the action platformer or souls like video

[@brightsuperstition]

Solid selection of games, as always! Ghost Hand, Faye Freelance, Toziuha, Soul Blade, Rune Fencer Illyia, Ceplion, Altered Alma, Awaken Astral Blade, Savior, Hayaku, Rebel Transmute, Turbo Kid, Blade Chimera and Mariachi Legends all have caught my eye. I honestly don't know how I'd be able to discover all these games without your help.

[@jacobthesnacob4192]

Great list! Haven't seen Ghost Hand or Sheep Lad before, but they both look awesome, and apparently just got added to my wishlist. Can't wait for Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, Timespinner 2, and Silk Song. A few others that I'm really excited for (some of which we don't have much info on yet) are The Spirit of the Samurai, SESSIONS (sequel to REDO!), Winter Belle (sequel to Mystik Belle), Hargrave 2, The Maze of Galious Remake (apparentlly something the La Mulana devs were working on), and an untitled Metroid-inspired game that the Chasm dev is allegedly making (this time hand-designed with no procedural generation).

[@bravoalley228]

the sponsor's game, Everdeep Aurora, looks nice along with Soul Blade, Ghost Hand, Faye Freelance... too many. Thank you a LOT for also adding in links.

[@syncr0904]

I was just looking for metroidvania games. perfect timing!

[@thebeautycult]

Thanks for shouting out Nectarmancer!

[@juckoosaurus]

woah the art for the reporter game looks so smooth looking forward to getting that

[@DevilBlackDeath]

I would have loved to see Plague Huntress in there. While the game has seen little communication for a while the devs did tweet about it a few months ago and said they wouldn't communicate much for a while because they were basically working head down (so I expect they'll come back once significant progress has been made).

[@ikmor]

Added twilight monk yo my wishlist thanks to you bringing it to my attention. Big like, thank you!

[@ClemmyGames]

nice

[@MeDjezze]

What a huge list! So the chances were high to find a one new to me, which in this case was Soul Blade. Thanks for digging that up! But there is another highly anticipated MV for me, that probably is also new to you: DEVIATOR. Regarding "What is a MV?": I always tell people it has two core mechanics: 1. An ability based progression system & 2. An interconnected world with environmental story telling. All other variation 2D vs. 3D or side-scrolling vs. top-down view lead to sub-genres. So yes, from my point of view there can be a combat-less MV.

[@longphan7656]

Y’all should check out : Worldless It’s newly released but have insane combat and really underrated

[@ClemmyGames]

I'm aware, thanks

[@The_inconspicuous_sphinx]

So many metroidvanias.... Thanks for this video man.

[@ClemmyGames]

cheers

[@Bubbleb2]

I am eagerly looking forward to "The Siege and the Sandfox." I have it on my wish list. "Faye Freelance: Rebel Reporter" looks really really good too. It kinda reminds me of "Iconoclasts." This is a great metrovania list. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ClemmyGames]

nice picks

[@zNicoBlaster]

Nine Sols?

[@ClemmyGames]

It’s a 2D Sekiro like so it will be under the action platformer or souls like video

[@bradgilmartin]

Amazing list Clemmy! Hopefully Skelethrone makes it on the next MV or soulslike list!

[@GraveyardghouI]

Timespinner 2 is a nice surprise! Thanks for highlighting it.

[@ClemmyGames]

yay

[@awakenastralblade3106]

Thank always you for the support!

[@ClemmyGames]

Ayy, you're welcome! Good luck for the final stretch

[@johnhill9623]

Fantastic video, added a couple to my wishlist and hard to argue with the top 3. I was surprised nine sols didn't make the top 50 though especially as it's due q1 2024

[@XionSteel]

Been becoming quite love-hate with the combo style metroidvanias because I love trying them out, but the button mashing eventually becomes so insane that I'm worried that ill break my controller again (yup again, the atk speed build in Skul forced me to have to mash so much that the membrane under my buttons snapped, causing me to lose that run ). But yeah, going to wish list a bunch of these and see how i feel when they eventually release.

[@briammojica1385]

Loved when you make metroidvania videos.Thanks

[@ClemmyGames]

you're welcome

[@wsf31]

Amazing! Man, I can't wait for the soulslike video. Please!

[@kryptkeeper2303]

Glad to see my friends game show up in your list

[@dilipkumar1038]

Clem I understand the pain and passion you been going through to make this video....we appreciate you...🙏

[@KALELSUPRMN]

So many amazing games on this list to look forward to!

[@tedecoo]

Too many good picks coming up, but for now my focus will be on Everdeep Aurora, Selini and Altered Alma next to the sequels to Hollow Knight and Grime. Thank you so much for this list! It surely will be another fantastic year of playing indie games.

[@Blackrazor1998]

thanks for the effort good luck ❤

[@black_stark2]

Expanding my wishlist once again... THANKS!

[@ClemmyGames]

Cheers

[@NukeThemAllGame]

hi Clemmy! thank you for covering all the indie games.. Please add Nuke Them all, our new upcoming indie RTS. "Nuke Them All" is an exciting indie RTS game set to launch in 2024, and we've already released the Demo, which is why we're reaching out to Steamers. It's a unique game in the style of classic golden-era RTS titles like Z, KKND, and C&C Red Alert. The primary objective is to capture flags and territories, speeding up production, upgrading factories, and ultimately destroying the enemy fort!

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Ultros looks like something Moebius and Jodorowsky would have created together. Totally psychedelic.

[@ClemmyGames]

Trippy

[@GoodBoy-io6fd]

17:19 Fallen Tear: The Ascension - The Only Filipino made 2D Metroidvania game on this list!

[@haruoro6216]

I am so exited about Being & Becoming!

[@johnnyVSpok]

I’m looking forward to earth blade. Not a lot of info on it yet, but look into it!

[@322ss]

What a massive list! Thanks!

[@peterc504]

Exil looks awesome...cant wait for a demo!!

[@frankhoppe1834]

There are sooo many interesting metroidvanias - I need 10 more lives to finish all games in my wishlist :(

[@peterkirby7546]

Rune Fencer Illyia, Siege and the Sandfox, Saviour, Mariachi Legends, Momodora, Bo: path of the the teal lotus, Nine Sols, and of course, Silksong, are all on my most anticipated list. I saw a promising demo of saviour a while back - hope it isn't a dead duck. Edit: Ah, and the new prince of Persia could be interesting, as a non-indie one.

[@ClemmyGames]

For sure!

[@truongnguyendac2032]

Final Momodora will be released on my birthday. Might be best birthday present I can give myself right now.

[@ClemmyGames]

hope it's good!

[@lucasnlima]

Nine Sols is not a metroidvania? btw, thanks, some new names for my wish list :D

[@mohammaddaleh8082]

It's a metroidvania .. He put it last year #4 on top upcoming 2023... It's coming in Q1 2024 .... it's a crime to not mention it 😢

[@ClemmyGames]

Yeah I don’t think it is. It’s a 2D Sekiro like so it will be under the action platformer or souls like video

[@danielblake1537]

It sucks that half of these great looking games are only on PC wish they were available for the Switch! Like #45 & #46 Toziuha Night: Order Of The Alchemists looks really good like the Castlevania Gameboy Advance games which are some of my all time favorites!

[@ClemmyGames]

I hope they get ports too

[@TheFirehands150]

Rune Fencer Illyia, Blade Chimera... dang these look good

[@SeanH80]

You had me at “Metroidvania”

[@ClemmyGames]

;)

[@Doktario_Mystario]

14:20 personally i see "MetroidVania" as a way to descripe the structure of the game but not necesairly the gameplay itself

[@isaacph2591]

What about Prince of Persia the lost crown??

[@lancecogan9893]

Yeah weird omission. I am excited for that one.

[@DrEcho]

#49 "This is a deep cut" My man just doesn't miss 🔥

[@archexxe190]

2024 is gonna be a great year for metroidvanias, so many to chose from.

[@endrgar]

I hope many people will notice and support Dewborne, I really liked what I saw. A lot of very cool metroidvania that will have to be released. Simply amazing.

[@ClemmyGames]

hope I can help it get funded

[@endrgar]

@@ClemmyGames Thank you. Hope this helps.

[@NicolasREVA7X]

Another year goes by and Silksong still nowhere in sight... I really hope they are cooking Metroidvania 2 in Team Cherry's studio hehe. If half the games of this video release in 2024, we will have a GIGANTIC year for Metroidvanias. Awesome compilation Clemmy! Cheers!

[@ClemmyGames]

year of the metroidvania

[@weregoat529]

Awesome list.

[@Joeondeeznuts]

Good lord, such fantastic list 😩

[@alerwingg8173]

#38 looks sick af

[@Stoic9]

I would totally back Exil... Hope they try again with Kickstarter. I always seems to miss the good ones.

[@ClemmyGames]

Yeah for sure

[@hakuzosionnach]

Bo reminds me of 9sols which was also kickstarted and coming out soon.

[@johannwolden1161]

A bit surprised not to see Nine Sols here... Or it is not planned as metroidvania anymore?

[@kwxjibo]

Same, I thought it would be in the top 5 for sure.

[@texus835]

Dewborn Dawn looks interessting, but with the "go where you want" approach, they hopefully make it still challanging if you finished the first two bosses of whatever route you have chosen. Faye Freelance: Rebel Reporter Hhhhhmmmm ...OOOOHHHH JOY, I just saw it's full of Metroid Vania titles. I can feel sometimes like I hate everything, but then there are actually titles that just hit the mark. Biomancer is good too, hopefully. Altered Alma fourth promising title. Everything I could see fail, but everything also has elements that I would like to see making the game really great. Gestalt Steam and Cinder good good. It played really well, which really convinced me. Being and Becoming, well I think it was the look here. Timespinner, sad that it's not the main char again I liked the relationship, but I hear weird things even if I should like this.

[@user-bm3im8by7p]

#22, rebel transmute is superbe i just got my copy for ps5 and it is perfect for my old school itch. Super fun

[@mrpawka]

Man...Whats the Word on 'Bushiden"?? We been waiting on that one since GTA V!!

[@xReS3Tx]

Bro you forgot "NINE SOLS" It comes on may.. ❤❤ sooooo excited!!!

[@ikmor]

Thank you!

[@aaronbeatty8838]

I wish more of these were being released for Xbox too. I'd play basically all the games on the list here.

[@lintnaya]

hopefully all of these metroidvania will release in 2024, especially that number 1 on the list 🙏

[@ClemmyGames]

yeah!

[@LutraLovegood]

I'm always hungry for more megametroidmans with cute graphics

[@kiddo_91]

Nice list mate. I reckon Silksong will be 2024 and Crowsworn 2025 👍

[@ClemmyGames]

Let’s see

[@despeinado340]

Yeah, the Sheep Lad dev has gone on record saying that it's not really a Metroidvania, it's a Zelda II-like. Still, nice of you to feature it here.

[@ClemmyGames]

mmhmm, but what is a zelda 2 lol

[@despeinado340]

@@ClemmyGames I guess he means 2d combat with low and high attacks, and a top view overworld that transitions into 2D combat/explorations. Idk, I just thought I'd mention what he himself said.

[@pavlotverdokhlib7627]

Is Biomorph doing a full release, or Early Access? Because I'd be pleasantly shocked if it's a full release. Same for Awaken: Astral Blade. Light of the Darkness captured my attention by namedropping Legacy of Kain as a major influence. Ceplion looks neat, but I'm currently struggling my way thru Rusted Moss, and it just reminds me how I REALLY don't have the skill to play bullet hell games well. Did Rebel Transmute revamp their look? I swear the MC model looks smaller than in the demo.... Exil looks awesome, but it needs a Steam page for the demo, otherwise people will just forget it, b/c there's nowhere to wishlist. Constance is giving me Fearmonium vibes. That is a good thing. I'm shcked Nine Sols didn't make the cut. That demo is on the same tier as Bo in terms of anticipation for me. I'm looking forward to the 1.0 release of Oirbo. My most anticipated Metroidvania is Moonlight Pulse. That game really needs more attention, the demo was/is fantastic.

[@crowravencorvenrow]

Soul Blade looks amazing!

[@ClemmyGames]

YEAH

[@crowravencorvenrow]

@@ClemmyGames Almost impossible to find the trailer on youtube, though.

[@ckat609]

I like pixelart as much as the next guy, but I can't help but wonder why there aren't more 2.5D games. Is it a cost thing?

[@aledro1828]

Wanna play them all!!!

[@zojirushi1]

Bo path of the teal lotus looks like Akami’s art style.

[@felipebica9466]

Great list as usual. I think you forgot Earthblade, the metroidvania by the Celeste devs.

[@ClemmyGames]

They didn’t say it’s a metroidvania though

[@spiralyahgaming4566]

Looking for Toziuha Night

[@bloggy6465]

is there a way me and my team can send you our metroidvania for the next video like this, we will probably have a trailer in like 1 month or so. All the best and hope you are doing well :)

[@ky5664]

A little disappointed Aeterna Lucis is not on the list (Aeterna nocts sequel) but thanks man; there’s clearly so much effort put into compiling this.

[@Local-Hyena37]

Silksong/Crowsworn will be the new Barbenheimer

[@ClemmyGames]

lol

[@jadedbreadncircus9159]

Damn. The more games there are, the smaller I want them to be. Just focusing on Street Fighter 6 like an FGC person for the first time n my life ever is grabbing time from everything. I have over 600 games on my Steam wishlist & time for 2 max. A lot of these games look amazing but I doubt I'll play most of them.

[@freeHippie_]

[@marciszsz9274]

Je, j ale pięknych gier. 🎉wszystkiego na pewno nie ogram. Ale na pewno nie wszystko wyjdzie w 2024.

Gestalt looks so much like a spiritual successor to Mega man zero series. Hope it comes out

[@peterc504]

Agreed it seems to have been in dev for ages...I remember playing the demo years ago

[@nothingblank4216]

Game #46 Toziuha night: Order of the alchemists is such a Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Clone. It copy the same feel of stealing spells from enemies.

[@nothingblank4216]

I hope this game better copy the right stuff and make better. Otherwise i gonna call it rip off or shitty clone

[@unchartedrocks1]

Being & Becoming just looks like 9 Years of Shadow

[@ClemmyGames]

similar yeah

[@Bobby8451]

Silksong is driving me crazy! If it doesn't come out soon I'm gonna end up in an insane asylum. How long have they been talking about this game?! Ahhhhhh!!!

[@mintyray1647]

a lot of these will be featured again in upcoming 2025 list. see you in a year!

[@ClemmyGames]

we'll see

[@scottbaylo]

Soul blade doesn’t have English support does it? If not, I know I saw a game recently that looks a lot like it that didn’t plan on a translation
