Huntdown

Boss fights as highlights

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Gunstar Heroes

Playing together in co-op

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.

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.

Blazing Chrome

Boss fights as highlights

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Contra: Operation Galuga

Playing together in co-op

You run and gun through punishing stages in the spirit of the legendary 80s series, now with modern graphics and sound. Teaming up with a friend in Story Mode or with up to three others in Arcade Mode makes the explosive co-op combat especially fun.

Super Crate Box

Strong soundtrack

A frantic arcade platformer-shooter where you grab crates, swap weapons constantly and chase a high score while endless enemies keep spawning. Tight controls, pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack define it.

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony

Playing together in co-op

An arcade-style bullet-hell shooter set on a 17th-century colonial Mars, blending British colonial history with science fiction. It stands out for its lovingly crafted pixel art and co-op play for up to four players.

Mighty Goose

Lavish presentation

You play a gun-toting goose blasting through fast run-and-gun stages packed with enemy swarms and screen-filling bosses. Its cartoonish humor and over-the-top war machines give it personality.
