Brings what grabs you about Armored Core: Project Phantasma: a sci-fi setting, good gunplay and action-packed real-time combat.

An indie space shooter where you fight a machine AI as humanity's last hope. You unlock weapons and technologies and customize your ship in many different ways.

Sanctum

Building and crafting

Sanctum fuses tower defense with first-person shooting: you build mazes of turrets, then join the fight yourself against waves of aliens. Especially fun in co-op.

MechWarrior 5: Clans

Strong character progression

You pilot a BattleMech as part of a Clan lance, tackling missions that reward tactical thinking over pure firepower. Deep mech customization, weight limits and heat management make every engagement a considered decision.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter

Challenging difficulty

You fly as a pilot of the Imperial Navy under Darth Vader, tackling space combat missions with secondary objectives and a connected campaign told from the Empire's side. It is a classic space combat sim with real depth in ship and power management.

Xenoraid

Sci-fi setting

A vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up where you swap between four fighters mid-battle, upgrade your squadron between missions and take down huge alien capital ships in hectic boss fights.

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.

Red Faction: Armageddon

Sci-fi setting

A linear third-person shooter in the tunnels beneath Mars, where you tear down entire structures with the magnet gun and other weapons while fighting off alien swarms. You can even rebuild destroyed objects with the nano forge.

MechWarrior 3

Sci-fi setting

A 1999 mech simulation where you pilot heavy BattleMechs, manage weapons and heat, and lead lancemates through tactical combat across more than 20 missions.

Satazius

Challenging difficulty

A classic side-scrolling arcade shooter with 13 upgradeable weapons, selectable side weapons and a charge attack. Demanding boss fights and dense enemy waves are aimed at arcade veterans.

Vanquish

Sci-fi setting

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.
