Absolum

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast side-scrolling beat 'em up with roguelite structure set in the fantasy world of Talamh. Fluid combat, a roster of heroes, varied builds and co-op keep every run fresh.

Devil May Cry 4

Fantasy setting

A fast, flashy hack-and-slash where Nero's Devil Bringer arm lets you yank enemies around and chain outrageous combos, with Dante returning with his switchable fighting styles. The style ranking system rewards variety and precision, giving it huge mastery depth.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A rhythm-based roguelike first-person shooter where shooting, reloading and moving must land on the beat of a rock opera soundtrack. As a Valkyrie you fight through randomized dungeons full of enemies that attack in time with the music.

Bayonetta

Lavish presentation

A supremely stylish character action game where the witch Bayonetta battles hordes of angels using Witch Time, precise dodges and absurdly over-the-top finishers. Deep combo mechanics, colossal bosses and plenty of tongue-in-cheek charm.

Wizard of Legend

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced pixel-art roguelike where you play a wizard chaining elemental spells into flashy combos. Each run through the trials rewards quick reflexes and smart arcana picks, with optional local co-op.

Haste

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 3D running roguelike where you chain momentum, gliding and precise timing through procedurally generated, collapsing worlds. Between runs you upgrade in a hub and piece together the story behind the breakdown.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast 2D ninja action platformer with a hand-drawn look, where you chain fluid combos with the legendary sword Oborozuki and cut down enemies quickly and stylishly. It focuses on precise combat and movement, supported by abilities and upgrades.
