  • Sci-fi setting
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Lots of humour

A third-person twin-stick shooter that carries the Contra series forward with chaotic firefights, over-the-top violence and irreverent humor. You blast through hordes and huge bosses solo or in co-op with a cast of different characters.

Serious Sam 4

Lots of humour

A over-the-top first-person shooter where you mow down enormous alien hordes with an absurdly large arsenal as Sam Stone. Playable solo or in co-op, it favors speed, spectacle and humor over depth.

Future Cop: LAPD

Linear, curated structure

You pilot a transforming LAPD combat mech through a futuristic Los Angeles in fast arcade-style missions. The blend of straightforward shooting and light strategic elements, especially in its multiplayer mode, is what sets it apart.

Helldivers

Co-op or multiplayer

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Serious Sam: Shatterverse

Lots of humour

A chaotic co-op roguelite shooter for up to five players, blasting through shifting universes while stacking boons and run modifiers into ever wilder builds. Classic Serious Sam enemy hordes meet quick-restart run structure.

Alien Storm

Challenging difficulty

An arcade side-scrolling beat 'em up in the vein of Golden Axe, where alien busters fight off an extraterrestrial invasion with special attacks, solo or with friends. It also mixes in shooter-style stages.

Mothergunship

Lots of humour

A frantic bullet-hell FPS where you assemble ridiculously oversized guns from modular parts and blast through randomized ship levels against robotic invaders. The gun crafting is the core hook, delivering chaotic fun, including in co-op.

Rock n' Roll Racing

Co-op or multiplayer

An isometric combat racer where you battle rivals in futuristic races using weapons and upgrades. Its rock soundtrack and two-player mode made it a classic.

Smash T.V.

Challenging difficulty

An arcade twin-stick shooter set in a dystopian game show: you fight endless waves of enemies in tight arenas, grab weapons and bonuses, and aim to defeat the host at the end. Frantic, chaotic and gleefully over the top.

Shoot Many Robots

Lots of humour

A humorous side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter where you blast waves of robots solo or in four-player co-op, using a huge arsenal of weapons with light RPG-style loot and upgrades.
