Momodora III

93 %

2014 PC 1.99 € 👍 94 % Very positive, 1,400 reviews on Steam

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

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Vagante

Fantasy setting

A pixel-art roguelike platformer with permadeath and procedurally generated dungeons, where you mix classes, gear and spells. The co-op mode with friends is a big part of the appeal.

Chasm

Focus on a single character

Chasm is a pixel-art Metroidvania with RPG elements where the world's mines and caverns are procedurally generated. You explore dungeons, fight enemies in real time, collect gear and uncover secrets.

Dungeon Souls

Action-packed real-time combat

A pixel-art action roguelike dungeon crawler with procedurally generated dungeons, loot and hordes of tough enemies. Inspired by Nuclear Throne and Risk of Rain, it focuses on fast combat and replayable runs.

Aaru's Awakening

Fantasy setting

A fast-paced 2D platformer where Aaru, champion of Dawn, uses teleportation and charging dashes to race across the world of Lumenox and restore balance between the times of day.

Momodora

Fantasy setting

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Blue Fire

Fantasy setting

A stylized 3D platformer adventure through the ruined kingdom of Penumbra, mixing jumping, light combat and trap-filled temples. The emphasis is on precise movement rather than narrative.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell

Fantasy setting

A compact, fluid pixel-art Metroidvania where the priestess Momo fights with quick melee and ranged attacks and precise dodging against demanding bosses. Its melancholic mood and carefully crafted areas make this farewell to the series special.
