Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this.
Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this.
I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot. GBA is retro right?
Imo, the 3 games are extremely underrated in the Spyro series and feel like completely different games.
Here's the article. It explains more specifically what I mean by these games.

I know there's the main Spyro games but I'm looking for 2D ones, basically the same deal as the Season games.
There’s an Animaniacs game for the GBA that’s isometric. I’ve played one of the Spyro ones as well, and thought it was well done.
Yeah this looks right up my alley. Man, the GBA really had all the isometric platformers.
@BarrierWithAshes Mobygames has a massive database of games with enough metadata to be a good trick for obscure queries like this. Not perfect (I guess cataloguing metadata on every game ever made is complicated?), but good enough to give some plausible leads if you want to dig a bit. For example I see that there's a Banjo Kazooie GBA game that looks like it might be up your alley.
Link to "isometric platformers", since it doesn't seem to have a collectathon genre tag:

@BarrierWithAshes ummm.. I only know Digimon world 3, it's isometric rpg with turn based battle.
Other than that, I don't know any other isometric games (or maybe I just forgot).Btw what is collectathons?
That looks cool. Not what I'm looking for but interesting. Reminds me a bit of the MegamanEXE games.
Collectathons are just games (usually platformers) where you collect a bunch of stuff. Spyro you got the items in each level, gems, chests, sidequests (that give you items) and so on. There's a lot of stuff to collect. Banjo Kazooie is another collectathon.
There's at least one Banjo Kazooie game on GBA in a similar style.
On the original Game Boy there's Conker's Pocket Tales (Conker in his original child friendly form).
