Slain: Back from Hell

Dark, serious atmosphere

A heavy-metal-flavored pixel-art action platformer where an undead warrior hacks through gory fantasy levels to a thundering metal soundtrack. The relaunch reworked the combat after a rough original release.

Haunted Castle

Dread and tension

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro 8-bit action platformer in the spirit of classic Castlevania, letting you swap between four characters with distinct abilities at any time. Tough boss fights and multiple endings encourage replays.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 8-bit Castlevania-style action platformer where Zangetsu fights through demon-filled stages with a rotating cast of allies. Multiple routes and endings add replay value with a fair but demanding challenge.

BloodRayne: Betrayal

Challenging difficulty

A brutal 2D hack-and-slash platformer with detailed HD sprites, gory combat and a steep difficulty curve. You play the dhampir Rayne, carving through a gothic world with precise melee and jumping challenges.

They Bleed Pixels

Dread and tension

A brutally tough action platformer with a Lovecraftian horror vibe, blending precise jumping with fluid combo-based combat. Kicking enemies into saws and spikes is the hook, wrapped in a distinctive pixel-and-ink look.

Eastern Exorcist

Dark, serious atmosphere

A hand-painted 2D side-scrolling soulslike action RPG where you play an exorcist battling demons in an East Asian-inspired world, relying on tight dodging, parrying and talisman-based abilities.
