Mega Man 10

Boss fights as highlights

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

C: The Contra Adventure

Jumping and platforming

You blast through ten levels of alien-infested jungle as Ray, mixing run-and-gun shooting with jumping sections and a large arsenal of weapons. It is a relentless, old-school action shooter from the late PlayStation era.

Mega Man 11

Boss fights as highlights

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Mega Man 9

Boss fights as highlights

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Mega Man 8

Boss fights as highlights

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

Rive

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast-paced 2D twin-stick shooter with platforming elements where you pilot a spider-tank through hordes of robots. Hacks let you alter enemy behavior, and a tongue-in-cheek tone keeps things light.

No Time to Explain

Boss fights as highlights

You blast yourself through absurd, chaotic levels using the recoil of your laser gun while your future self yells at you to hurry. Fast, funny and demanding, with precise momentum-based platforming and wacky boss fights.

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Jumping and platforming

A remake of the NES classic where you swing with a bionic arm instead of jumping through 2.5D levels, fighting a militaristic regime's forces. It pairs classic arcade design with modernized visuals and a tough challenge.
