It is impressive though, usually the naming a genre after entries in that genre thing doesn't last long. Doomclone into FPS, GTAclone into open world but I think Metroidvania will stand the test of time. Especially because search action is a terrible name for a genre

Doom didn't contribute to the Doomclone genre until they made Doom

Nightmare 3D wasn’t just another FPS—it let you explore full multi-level maps with stairs and elevators, creating a real haunted house feel back in 1994. #nitemare3d #wolf3dclone #doomclone #youtubeshorts #retrorobby #retrorobbyerviews #instagramreels

Taco Bell gave out full PC games in 2000 - one was a fleshed-out DoomClone.

I prefer marioclone doom clones to doomclone Mario clones.

I think part of it is more that Metroidvania as a term has a good flow to it, while Doomclone being replaced by FPS, well, FPS flows better.
Search Action doesn't have a good flow to it, and Action Search sounds like a game where you're looking for anything to happen. Metroidvania just works.

Huh, the titular nine inch nails were actually from a niche doomclone? Fascinating

"What genre is DOOM?" Doomclone. Next question.

A more arcadey Half-Life remake where saving the scientists is the point. Got a counter for it on the hud or at least in a menu. Alternatively, More Duke Nukem games where saving the Babes is the point. Gimme a fun doomclone where I get to save people and explore weird mazelike industrial areas

Ten thousand percent this, and I don’t even work in the games industry

Spoilers for the doomclone I'm never going to make that's set in THE FACILITY, the secret level will be like a backrooms homage.

DrjimmyB has been sharing retro games from their past to their friends and annoyingly noticed quite a few of them have been called "Doom Clones" by those friends

I'm not certain. Honestly could be better to have shoot out missions and a story centered mission with slower pace and like other characters instead of "enemies" persay.

I'm kinda thinking of like Persona, but it's a doomclone spliced with ren'py

Okay so, the player icon TFs after being attacked, the enemies get TF'd after you shoot them too. Maybe there's reality altering powerups, speed changes from heels or platforms, etc etc.

My main concern is I want there to be lots of branch plot/dialog. Is it even possible to do that in a doomclone?
I wonder what the feasability of a TransFormation kink doomclone is? A first person TF shooter...

search action is the frontrunner for replacements for metroidvania that actually do a good job of describing the gameplay loop (i also kind of liked exploraction) but at this point it'd be like trying to introduce "first person shooter" if we'd been using "doomclone" for the past 30 years

doomclones are like mario clones in which if you are to do a doomclone people expect it to be on the bare minimum of early doomclone
