  • Sci-fi setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Challenging difficulty

A frantic twin-stick arcade shooter from Housemarque and Eugene Jarvis built around high scores, precise dodging and short, intense runs. Voxel explosions and tight controls make every run a spectacle.

Darius Gaiden

Challenging difficulty

A classic side-scrolling shoot'em up where you pilot the Silver Hawk against giant mechanical fish bosses, with branching stage routes. Upgradable weapons and the new black hole bomb drive intense arcade action.

Vanquish

Action-packed real-time combat

Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.

Pulstar

Challenging difficulty

You pilot a spacecraft through classic side-scrolling space levels, collecting power-ups to survive dense waves of enemies. Its weapon system and upgrades add their own twists to a shooter that clearly draws on R-Type.

Resogun

Lavish presentation

A frantic arcade shoot 'em up set in destructible voxel worlds, where you rescue survivors and keep your multiplier alive. Great for score chasers, solo or in online co-op.

Einhänder

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Hard Corps: Uprising

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D run-and-gun in the Contra tradition with sleek anime-style visuals and tight controls. Choose pure Arcade mode or the Rising mode with purchasable upgrades, and tackle the steep challenge solo or with a friend in co-op.

Drainus

Action-packed real-time combat

You pilot a side-scrolling fighter that can absorb enemy energy bullets and turn them against the swarms of ships zipping through space. Its appeal lies in the tight timing between dodging and absorbing.

Asteroids: Recharged

Action-packed real-time combat

A modernized take on the arcade classic: pilot a ship, dodge and blast asteroids, chase high scores and tackle challenge levels with new abilities, neon visuals and a fresh soundtrack.
