Toshi Tenso Keikaku Eternal City - PC Engine (1991)

Not quite sure how hard this is going to lean on the Metroidvania formula. I don't think it will. I think it's more of a maze with powerups than a sprawling dungeon with different paths. It would make a lot of sense for a Metroidvania to be on the PCE, so I would be the first to root for such a game. As a shooter, it's OK. It's not unfair, but it feels like it's maze approach makes it feel a big directionless and unfocused. They shoulda just ripped off Metroid. I mean, they clearly had it in mind because they threw a chick into the suit.
