Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.

Alien Soldier

Challenging difficulty

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

RefleX

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A Japanese indie shmup where you weave through dense bullet patterns and use sharp reflexes to tear down huge enemies. As the second chapter of the ALLTYNEX trilogy, it delivers short, intense arcade action in a sci-fi setting.

Einhänder

Sci-fi setting

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Ultratron

Sci-fi setting

Ultratron is a frantic twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Robotron 2084, where you play the last battle droid blasting waves of killer robots. Neon retro visuals, driving sound and upgrades between levels make for a hypnotic flow.

Sine Mora

Lavish presentation

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Steel Empire

Challenging difficulty

A classic steampunk side-scrolling shoot'em up originally released on the Mega Drive in 1992. You dodge and blast your way through linear stages against an evil empire, with four difficulty levels and a replay mode.

Astebreed

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced anime-style mecha shooter that blends on-rails shooting sections with close-range hack-and-slash combat. You pilot a giant war machine in a war against a mechanical alien race.

Syder Arcade

Sci-fi setting

An uncompromising retro shoot 'em up inspired by 90s Amiga classics, with free-scrolling, multi-directional shooting. Only your skill counts against hordes of alien invaders.
