Melee combat with weapons or fists

Castle in the Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Castle in the Darkness is a fast, demanding action platformer that channels the feel of classic Castlevania and Metroid games. You explore a sprawling castle full of secrets while gradually strengthening your hero through light RPG elements.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

Action-packed real-time combat

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A much grittier sequel where the Prince flees the relentless Dahaka and leaps between past and present on the Island of Time. Acrobatic traversal, time-rewinding powers and a deeper dual-weapon combat system define it, backed by a heavy metal soundtrack.

Rygar

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Momodora

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Momodora III

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Onikira: Demon Killer

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A 2D platformer that blends the combo-heavy combat of 3D beat 'em ups like Ninja Gaiden with wall jumps, air juggles and switching between weapons such as the katana and naginata. It is set in a mythical feudal Japan.
