Sine Mora

Strong soundtrack

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Furi

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Furi is a pure boss-rush duelist where you mix sword combat, parrying and twin-stick shooting in intense one-on-one fights. Each guardian has a distinct style, backed by bold comic-inspired art and a driving electronic soundtrack.

Einhänder

Boss fights as highlights

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Galak-Z: The Dimensional

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A punchy 2D space shooter with physics-driven flight, roguelike structure and a look inspired by 80s mecha anime. Intense dogfights demand quick reflexes and smart resource management.

Vanquish

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.

Darius Gaiden

Boss fights as highlights

A classic side-scrolling shoot'em up where you pilot the Silver Hawk against giant mechanical fish bosses, with branching stage routes. Upgradable weapons and the new black hole bomb drive intense arcade action.

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition
