Momodora III

Boss fights as highlights

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.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Boss fights as highlights

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.

Olija

Boss fights as highlights

An atmospheric pixel-art action game in which the shipwrecked Faraday fights through the grim land of Terraphage with a throwable harpoon he can teleport to. Fast, fluid combat and a distinctive retro look define it.

Infernax

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A gory retro side-scrolling action platformer in the vein of Simon's Quest, where a knight returns to a cursed homeland. Moral choices alter the world and the ending, with plenty of blood and dark humor.

Volgarr the Viking

Boss fights as highlights

A merciless retro arcade platformer where a Viking fights through brutally tough levels with precise jumps and spear throws. Every hit counts, and only those who learn the patterns will progress.

Ghoulboy

Boss fights as highlights

Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.
