Killing Floor

Co-op or multiplayer

A wave-based co-op shooter where up to six players fend off hordes of grotesque clone mutants and gear up at the trader between rounds. Class perks, teamwork and the brutal Patriarch boss fight define the experience.

Alien Breed

Playing together in co-op

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

Contra: Operation Galuga

Playing together in co-op

You run and gun through punishing stages in the spirit of the legendary 80s series, now with modern graphics and sound. Teaming up with a friend in Story Mode or with up to three others in Arcade Mode makes the explosive co-op combat especially fun.

Quake II

Alien Swarm

Playing together in co-op

A free top-down co-op shooter from Valve where a squad of four marines with distinct classes fights through hordes of aliens. Teamwork, loadouts and unlockable weapons drive frantic, tactical firefights.

Wild Guns

Pixel art

A fast arcade shooting gallery set in a steampunk Wild West, where you play Annie or Clint, dodging fire and blasting outlaws and robots in the background. Short, intense stages with a tough challenge, playable in co-op.

Air Buster

Playing together in co-op

A classic arcade side-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the vein of R-Type and Gradius, blasting through sci-fi stages with power-ups. Its standout feature is simultaneous two-player play.

Xeno Crisis

Pixel art

You run and gun through an overrun alien research outpost as a battle-hardened marine. Randomly generated areas force you to rethink your approach on every run, and the two-player mode turns the chaos into a shared fight.
