  • Post-apocalyptic setting
  • Jumping and platforming
  • Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutally tough 8-bit action platformer in the spirit of NES Ninja Gaiden. As the mercenary ninja Zaku, you slash through a post-apocalyptic world of soldiers, relying on precise timing and quick reflexes.

Ghostrunner II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Ghostrunner II is a blisteringly fast first-person slasher where you wallrun, grapple and slice through a ruined cyberpunk world as a cyber ninja. One hit kills, so precision and reflexes are rewarded; new additions include motorbike sections and bigger boss fights.

Canabalt

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist one-button endless runner where you sprint across the rooftops of a collapsing city, timing jumps to get as far as possible. Quick runs, pixel visuals and a driving soundtrack define the experience.

Ghostrunner

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A blisteringly fast first-person parkour slasher where one hit kills you and you wall-run, deflect bullets and slice enemies apart as a cyber-ninja. Constant death-and-retry loops set to a pounding synthwave score turn every arena into a precise reflex puzzle.

Sanabi

Sci-fi setting

A fast action-platformer where you play a veteran with a grappling prosthetic arm, swinging through a dystopian city, dodging bullets and taking down enemies. Fluid swinging movement is paired with a dark, stylish presentation.

The Cub

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A wild child grows up among the ruins of humanity in a hand-painted, old-school platformer inspired by classic Sega games. Moody synth-tinged music and quietly told stories give this Jungle Book-style post-apocalypse a melancholic atmosphere.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A linear action-adventure loosely based on Journey to the West, following brawler Monkey and tech-savvy Trip through an overgrown, mech-ruled future America. Its strength lies in expressive performances and a touching, reluctant partnership rather than mechanical depth.

Butcher

Sci-fi setting

A fast, extremely gory 2D pixel-art shooter where you play a cyborg blasting through grim levels, killing enemies with chainsaws, shotguns or environmental hazards. A throwback to early 90s action games.

Strider

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast arcade action platformer where you play ninja Hiryu, slashing with a plasma blade and flipping, climbing and sliding through a futuristic dystopia. Short, brisk and demanding.
