Jumping and platforming

A hand-drawn Metroidvania with procedurally shifting caverns where you fight swarms and towering bosses as Eshe. Corrupted relics make you stronger but cost you your humanity.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Challenging difficulty

The sequel to Hollow Knight: faster, more acrobatic and even more demanding.

Salt and Sanctuary

A 2D Soulslike wrapped in Metroidvania design: stamina-driven combat, punishing bosses and a huge skill tree in a grim, interconnected world. Its hand-drawn look and rewarding exploration set it apart.

Minoria

Challenging difficulty

Minoria is a dark Metroidvania from the Momodora developers where a nun fights witches and monsters using parries, dodges and spells. Hand-painted backdrops and precise, reflex-driven combat define it.

Blasphemous II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A grim pixel-art Metroidvania where the Penitent One wields three distinct weapons through a world steeped in religious horror. Precise duels, tough bosses and plenty of secrets make exploring rewarding.

Ori and the Blind Forest

Lavish presentation

A gorgeous hand-painted Metroidvania platformer with tight, demanding movement, tense escape sequences and a heartfelt tale of loss and hope. Its sweeping orchestral score makes the forest of Nibel unforgettable.

Nine Sols

Challenging difficulty

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania set in a Taoist-flavored sci-fi world, with combat built almost entirely around precise deflecting and counterattacks. Revenge, mythology and stylish boss fights drive the journey.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell

Jumping and platforming

A compact, fluid pixel-art Metroidvania where the priestess Momo fights with quick melee and ranged attacks and precise dodging against demanding bosses. Its melancholic mood and carefully crafted areas make this farewell to the series special.

Momodora II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

In Momodora II you explore a tightly knotted pixel-art fantasy world that opens up through shortcuts and hidden paths. It drops the arcade-style progression of its predecessor in favor of rewarding curious exploration.
