Killing Floor

Co-op or multiplayer

A wave-based co-op shooter where up to six players fend off hordes of grotesque clone mutants and gear up at the trader between rounds. Class perks, teamwork and the brutal Patriarch boss fight define the experience.

Earth Defense Force 5

Playing together in co-op

A gleefully cheesy third-person arcade shooter where you, alone or in co-op, mow down enormous swarms of giant insects and robots with a huge arsenal. B-movie charm, mass destruction and weapon collecting define the fun.

Air Buster

Playing together in co-op

A classic arcade side-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the vein of R-Type and Gradius, blasting through sci-fi stages with power-ups. Its standout feature is simultaneous two-player play.

Quake II

Action-packed real-time combat

You blast through fast, unforgiving firefights against the mechanical Strogg in this classic sci-fi shooter. The modern re-release adds upgraded visuals, fresh campaign content and online co-op to the frantic action.

Alien Breed

Playing together in co-op

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

Alien Swarm

Playing together in co-op

A free top-down co-op shooter from Valve where a squad of four marines with distinct classes fights through hordes of aliens. Teamwork, loadouts and unlockable weapons drive frantic, tactical firefights.

Contra: Operation Galuga

Playing together in co-op

You run and gun through punishing stages in the spirit of the legendary 80s series, now with modern graphics and sound. Teaming up with a friend in Story Mode or with up to three others in Arcade Mode makes the explosive co-op combat especially fun.

Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain

Playing together in co-op

A chaotic third-person shooter where you blast giant bugs and aliens, solo or in co-op. It adds classes and gear collection compared with the main EDF series while keeping the B-movie action fun.

Descent

Challenging difficulty

A pioneering six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting mine tunnels, destroying hostile robots. Disorienting true-3D mazes and the hunt for keycards give it its unique appeal.
