Brings what grabs you about Mimic Arena: jumping and platforming, good gunplay as well as combat with precise timing.

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Atomik: RunGunJumpGun

Fast pace

You fire forward to clear a path and blast the ground to launch yourself skyward, helicoptering through dense hallways of spikes, turrets and saws. It is a brutally tough arcade platformer built entirely around that two-button recoil gunplay.

Mega Man 11

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Fast pace

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.

VectorMan 2

Fast pace

A fast run-and-gun platformer where the orb-bodied VectorMan blasts and transforms his way through an abandoned research facility. Its pre-rendered 3D orb-model look was distinctive for the era.

My Friend Pedro

Fast pace

A fast 2D shooter where slow motion, acrobatics and dual-wielding let you dance through levels like a bloody ballet. A talking banana gives the absurd orders, and the fun lies in chaining stylish kills.

Mega Man 10

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Mega Man 8

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.
