Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Blazing Star

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic Neo Geo horizontal space shooter with prerendered pseudo-3D sprites and fast arcade pacing. As the sequel to Pulstar, it delivers tough boss fights, tight dodging and charged weapon mechanics.

Yars: Recharged

Shooting and gunplay

Mega Man X8

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2.5D run-and-gun platformer where you pick a team of three Maverick Hunters, tackle bosses in any order and steal their weapons. The lunar adventure adds team swapping, armor upgrades and high-speed action.

Futuridium EP Deluxe

Sci-fi setting

Futuridium EP is a retro-style shoot 'em up with a modern twist, where you fight through fast, relentless stages full of enemies. Its colourful, glitchy visuals and roughly 45 minutes of original music give it a distinctive look and sound.

Einhänder

Sci-fi setting

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Darius Gaiden

Shooting and gunplay
