Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Boss fights as highlights

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Castlevania Chronicles

Boss fights as highlights

You take on Dracula's estate as Simon Belmont, lashing your whip through classic gothic stages alone against the resurrected Count and his minions. Precise jumps, sub-weapons and unforgiving enemy placement make every mistake count.

Unloved

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim retro-style first-person shooter built from a well-known Doom 2 mod: you ride an elevator ever deeper into a nightmarish abyss of demons and monsters, with no hope of escape.

Nightmare Creatures

Dark, serious atmosphere

A PlayStation-era gothic horror brawler in which you fight a cult's grotesque monsters through foggy 19th-century London using melee combos. Bleak atmosphere and linear levels define the experience.

Haunted Castle

Boss fights as highlights

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Sengoku

Boss fights as highlights

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.

Dusk

Pixel art

Dusk is a fast, 90s-style boomer shooter with eerie atmosphere and maze-like levels full of secrets. It focuses on fluid movement and punchy weapons against hordes of cultists and worse horrors.

Nightmare Creatures II

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play as Herbert Wallace, an escaped lab subject hunting the demonic scientist Dr. Crowley through a bloody, gothic Victorian horror chase across London and Paris. Its brawling melee combat against monsters, set in a grim, atmospheric world, is the main draw.
