  • Fantasy setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Kill Knight

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast isometric arcade shooter where you blast through swarms of eldritch horrors with a hefty arsenal. Quick reflexes and constant movement are key, wrapped in a grim dark-fantasy look.

Shikhondo: Soul Eater

Challenging difficulty

You pick either the Grim Reaper or a girl and hunt escaped yokai from limbo to free the souls they have absorbed, then reseal them. It is an intense bullet-hell shooter steeped in Japanese myth and demanding reflexes.

Deathsmiles

Challenging difficulty

Deathsmiles is a relentless CAVE bullet-hell shooter where you play as one of five angels defending a magical kingdom from demonic invaders. Its appeal lies in weaving through dense walls of projectiles with razor-sharp dodging.

Amid Evil

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast retro-style boomer shooter that swaps guns for inventive magical weapons like staves and blades across surreal fantasy realms. Colorful, dreamlike levels reward hunting for secrets.

West of Dead

Lavish presentation

A grim twin-stick shooter set in a Wild West Purgatory, where you play the dead gunslinger William Mason and fight from cover through procedurally generated levels. A striking comic-style look and roguelike structure make for fast, punishing runs.

Painkiller

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, old-school first-person shooter where you plow through huge monster hordes as a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. Inventive dual-mode weapons, arena-style fights and a demon transformation power drive the frantic action.
