parry mechanics

The rise of parry mechanics has expanded from character action games and spectacle fighters to various genres, including roguelikes, horror games, JRPGs, and first-person shooters, particularly in the Soulslike genre after the success of Sekiro. Yacht Club Games is developing an adventure game called Mina the Hollower, inspired by classic Castlevania and Zelda games, aiming to evoke retro gaming while incorporating modern influences. Co-founder Sean Velasco noted the game's nods to Bloodborne in its health management system and pacing. He described the exchange of gameplay ideas among developers as a "great conversation," leading to the convergence of game mechanics. The release date for Mina the Hollower is not yet determined, but it can be added to wishlists on Steam.
