Super Cyborg

Sci-fi setting

An old-school, relentless run-and-gun shooter in the vein of 90s classics: as an elite cyborg you blast through aliens on a mysterious island. Fast action and steep challenge are the focus.

Project Mercury

Sci-fi setting

A pixel-art run-and-gun platformer set in a sci-fi world, where you fight a mysterious threat on foot and on a hoverbike. The focus is on fast shooting and precise platforming.

Mighty No. 9

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Super Star Wars

Sci-fi setting

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer based on the original Star Wars film, letting you fight as Luke, Han or Chewbacca from Tatooine to the Death Star. Vehicle stages add variety, and the difficulty is famously high.

Mega Man X7

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The first 3D outing of the Mega Man X series, where you switch between X-hunter heroes like Zero and Axl, running and gunning through eight selectable stages against Mavericks. It mixes 2D and 3D sections, though it is widely seen as divisive for its camera and controls.

Stargunner

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 1990s DOS side-scrolling space shooter where you pilot an elite ship to strike enemy strongholds on a hostile planet. Fast arcade action with weapon upgrades.

Mega Man X6

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Mega Man X5

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero through eight stages against Reploid bosses while a falling space colony threatens Earth. Hero choice, boss weaknesses and a ticking clock add variety and pressure.
