  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Fantasy setting

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.

Necropolis

Challenging difficulty

A third-person action roguelike with procedurally generated dungeons where stamina-based dodging, blocking and careful melee combat keep you on edge. Its bold low-poly look and the sarcastic Brazen Head give it a distinct personality, and it can be played in co-op.

Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable Night

Challenging difficulty

A classic bullet-hell shooter where you play as a pair of characters weaving through dense bullet patterns. Distinct shot types when focused versus unfocused and the unique Last Spell attacks add variety and a steep challenge.

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.

Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom

Challenging difficulty

A classic bullet-hell shooter from the Touhou series where you pick a character with distinct shot types and weave through dense, elaborate bullet patterns. The Cherry Point scoring system rewards risky play, backed by a famously beloved soundtrack.

Cloudberry Kingdom

Lots of humour

A brutally demanding platformer whose procedurally generated levels adapt to your skill and your character's abilities. Precise timing and patience are required, wrapped in a humorous, colorful presentation.

Enter the Gungeon

Lots of humour

A tough, pun-filled bullet-hell roguelike where you dodge-roll and flip tables through procedural floors with hundreds of wildly creative guns. Every run plays differently, and mastering the dense projectile patterns is deeply rewarding.

Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic bullet-hell shooter where you play Reimu or Marisa, weaving through dense bullet patterns and countering with spell-card bombs. Famed for its memorable music and as the entry that made the Touhou series' Gensokyo setting popular.
