Haunted Castle

Melee combat with weapons or fists

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Castlevania Chronicles

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Jumping and platforming

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.

Lords of Exile

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic 8-bit action platformer where you play a cursed knight fighting through linear stages in search of revenge. It delivers NES-era retro gameplay with a demanding challenge.

Momodora

Jumping and platforming

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Momodora III

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Rygar

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.
