Skul: The Hero Slayer

Fantasy setting

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.

Astral Ascent

Fantasy setting

A fast-paced 2D action roguelite where you pick one of four heroes and take on the twelve Zodiac bosses. Quick combat, plenty of spells and allies keep each run varied.

Going Under

Lots of humour

A satirical roguelike dungeon crawler where you play an unpaid intern fighting through the cursed ruins of failed startups, wielding office junk as weapons. Sharp humor and a bold look meet fast real-time combat.

Sonic Unleashed

Lavish presentation

Sonic Unleashed alternates between blazing-fast daytime stages built around boosting and slower night stages where Sonic becomes the Werehog and brawls enemies. The mix of speed platforming and beat-'em-up combat is divisive but distinctive in the series.

Shadow Warrior 3

Lots of humour

A fast first-person shooter that fuses guns, sword combat and acrobatic traversal with a grappling hook and wall-running into one fluid combat flow. Crude humor and an Asian-inspired demon-filled world give it a distinct personality.

Haste

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

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.

Dead as Disco

Distinctive, stylised art style

A neon-soaked beat-'em-up where every punch, kick and combo is synced to the music. As Charlie Disco you fight the villainous Idols to get the band back together.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Lavish presentation

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.
