Brings what grabs you about Galaga Legions DX: good gunplay, a sci-fi setting and a demanding difficulty.

Truxton is a classic vertical shoot 'em up from the arcade era, where you pilot a small spaceship through five large levels packed with enemy waves. With just a shot and a bomb button, you fight through bosses that loop endlessly at higher difficulties.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A frantic twin-stick arcade shooter where you fight swarms of enemies in a glowing neon arena while chasing high scores. Six distinct modes keep it varied, from hectic blasting to careful survival play.

Darius Gaiden

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic side-scrolling shoot'em up where you pilot the Silver Hawk against giant mechanical fish bosses, with branching stage routes. Upgradable weapons and the new black hole bomb drive intense arcade action.

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arcade bullet-hell shooter with three ships and multiple modes ranging from beginner-friendly to brutal. The Break Meter for bombs and power-ups rewards aggressive, risky play.

Galaga

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You pilot a fighter through waves of bullets and massive mech enemies in this vertically scrolling arcade shmup. It is a tight, demanding shoot 'em up that rewards repeated attempts with sharper reflexes.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Drainus

Action-packed real-time combat

You pilot a side-scrolling fighter that can absorb enemy energy bullets and turn them against the swarms of ships zipping through space. Its appeal lies in the tight timing between dodging and absorbing.

Einhänder

Action-packed real-time combat

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.
