A Black Falcon Wrote:Scurge is good, but yeah, blatant Metroid stuff going on there... though the gameplay is different of course, being isometric. And much less nonlinear. :) As far as plot and setting and the character you play as though... yes. "Inspired by". :)
... that's a much more blatant and less original one than Starcraft is when compared to Warhammer 40k, though...
Metroid didn't invent the "Metroid formula" though. It just perfected it in platformer form.
