It's premise is certainly unique.

And it's also interesting how popular are Metroidvania games nowadays, specially given the little love that publishers have given them for years.

Publishers go after the big bucks.  The Call of Duties, The Battlefields, or whatever other trend is on top.  I think fans of Metroidvanias are very vocal, but don't compare to the sheer number of mainstream gamers who eat up the yearly iterations of the big blockbuster titles.

Fuck, I love metroidvanias though.

It's the biggest problem the industry had during the transition to HD with the PS360, they forgot the A and AA games and put all its efforts into AAA games. And Metroidvania games don't fit that class.

Thankfully the situation has changed a bit, for the better, and there's also the indie scene on PC (and later, consoles) that hasn't forget about these "niche" genres.
