    I’m working on a Metroidvania game where consumables work on a system where when you use one it’ll respawn at its original location. You can only carry one copy of any given consumable at a time but if you’re willing to do a bit of backtracking you can always replenish your stock.

        I’ve never played Nioh, but I wanted a mechanic where the player is encouraged to save their consumables for when they really need them but not to the point where they start to just hoard them for the entire game. My main inspiration was actually the sub tanks in the Mega Man X games with how they can be re-filled as many times as you want, but I wanted a system that ties in more closely with the exploration aspects of the game.
