Furi

Boss fights as highlights

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.

Devil May Cry 5

Lavish presentation

A blistering stylish-action showcase where three wildly different demon hunters chain combos and weapon swaps to chase the highest style rank. Over-the-top cutscenes, a pumping soundtrack and deep mechanical mastery make it a genre benchmark.

Cuphead

Lavish presentation

A brutally tough boss-rush shooter animated like a 1930s cartoon, where precise dodging, parrying and shooting decide every fight. A swinging big-band jazz score and local co-op round it out.

X-Blades

Fantasy setting

A fast-paced hack-and-slash game where heroine Ayumi acrobatically cuts through hordes of dark creatures with her pistol blades. The focus is on flashy combos across linear levels.

Ultrakill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Doom Eternal

Lavish presentation

A blisteringly fast shooter that forces you to keep moving and treat every demon as a resource, carving out ammo, armor and health with the chainsaw, flame belch and glory kills. Paired with a crushing metal soundtrack, its fights play out like a violent dance through hordes of demons.

Blades of Time

Fantasy setting

An action adventure where treasure hunter Ayumi fights with sword and gun, using time-rewind clones of herself to solve puzzles and turn battles. The time mechanic gives the linear hack-and-slash its own twist.
