Mega Man X6

Challenging difficulty

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Mega Man X4

Strong soundtrack

A fast 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero and take down Maverick bosses in any order, grabbing their weapons. Tight controls, anime cutscenes and a driving soundtrack make it a series highlight.

Mega Man 9

Pixel art

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Mega Man 10

Pixel art

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Ultrakill

Strong soundtrack

Ultrakill is an extremely fast retro first-person shooter that blends style-ranking from character action games with brutal carnage. You heal by bathing in enemy blood and must fluidly chain weapons, movement and combos.

Mega Man 11

Shooting and gunplay

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Gunstar Heroes

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.
