Vanquish

Fast pace

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.

RefleX

Boss fights as highlights

A Japanese indie shmup where you weave through dense bullet patterns and use sharp reflexes to tear down huge enemies. As the second chapter of the ALLTYNEX trilogy, it delivers short, intense arcade action in a sci-fi setting.

Syder Arcade

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An uncompromising retro shoot 'em up inspired by 90s Amiga classics, with free-scrolling, multi-directional shooting. Only your skill counts against hordes of alien invaders.

Steam and Metal

Boss fights as highlights

A classic scrolling shooter set in a steampunk world: you blast through hordes of steam-powered enemies and take down huge bosses. Handcrafted pixel art gives it an arcade feel.

Ultratron

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Ultratron is a frantic twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Robotron 2084, where you play the last battle droid blasting waves of killer robots. Neon retro visuals, driving sound and upgrades between levels make for a hypnotic flow.

Wolflame

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic vertical 2D shooter in the vein of Raiden and Twin Cobra, built around arcade action, reflexes and dodging bullets. A no-frills retro throwback from the makers of Gigantic Army and Satazius.

Madrobot X

Boss fights as highlights

A classic retro shoot 'em up in pixel art where a robot escapes a mad scientist's lab with help from a fellow robot. The focus is on quick reflexes and arcade action.
