Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Strong soundtrack

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Strong soundtrack

A much grittier sequel where the Prince flees the relentless Dahaka and leaps between past and present on the Island of Time. Acrobatic traversal, time-rewinding powers and a deeper dual-weapon combat system define it, backed by a heavy metal soundtrack.

Castlevania Chronicles

Challenging difficulty

You take on Dracula's estate as Simon Belmont, lashing your whip through classic gothic stages alone against the resurrected Count and his minions. Precise jumps, sub-weapons and unforgiving enemy placement make every mistake count.

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection

Challenging difficulty

The classic returns: knight Arthur fights through graveyards and demon castles in punishing platforming stages, now with a storybook look. Perfect for players who enjoy merciless but fair challenge and losing armor with every hit.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Strong soundtrack

A fast-paced 16-bit ninja platformer built on precise jumping, shuriken and sword combat, with varied stages like horseback and surfboard rides. Tight controls and tough boss fights make it a genre classic.

Volgarr the Viking

Challenging difficulty

A merciless retro arcade platformer where a Viking fights through brutally tough levels with precise jumps and spear throws. Every hit counts, and only those who learn the patterns will progress.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.
