Super Contra

Challenging difficulty

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Huntdown

Jumping and platforming

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Broforce

Jumping and platforming

A chaotic run-and-gun platformer starring parodies of action movie heroes, where nearly everything is destructible and explosions tear levels apart. With up to four friends in co-op, the mayhem becomes gloriously over-the-top fun.

Metal Slug 6

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade run-and-gun with lovingly animated pixel art and chaotic, explosive levels. The new Weapon Stock system lets you carry and swap between two weapons, while the game stays punishing and tongue-in-cheek.

Blazing Chrome

Jumping and platforming

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Metal Slug

Challenging difficulty

A legendary run-and-gun classic with gorgeously animated pixel art, slapstick humor and frantic firefights where you hijack tanks and rescue prisoners. Best enjoyed in two-player co-op, and as punishing as any great arcade game.

Metal Slug 4

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade run-and-gun with hand-animated pixel art, chaotic explosions and tongue-in-cheek humor. It's at its best in two-player co-op, with relentless difficulty, vehicles and hostage rescues.

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style bullet-hell shooter set on a 17th-century colonial Mars, blending British colonial history with science fiction. It stands out for its lovingly crafted pixel art and co-op play for up to four players.
