  • Sci-fi setting
  • Co-op or multiplayer
  • Lots of humour

A fast 2D platformer take on the MOBA where two teams of quirky heroes with unique abilities push lanes, destroy turrets and attack the enemy base. Teamwork and item builds decide matches, wrapped in a charming cartoon look.

Monday Night Combat

Lots of humour

A third-person shooter staged as an over-the-top futuristic game show, where you pick a class, fend off waves of robots and place turrets. The blend of tower defense and arena multiplayer plus satirical humor sets it apart.

Fortified

Tactical depth

A co-op shooter with tower-defense elements in a 1950s pulp style: you build defenses and fend off a Martian robot invasion with retro weaponry, solo or with up to four players.

Starhawk

Action-packed real-time combat

A space-western third-person shooter that mixes gunplay with real-time base building: players call in turrets, vehicles and structures mid-battle. Transforming fighter craft and jetpacks add variety, and the focus is on online multiplayer, alongside a short campaign about gunslinger Emmett Graves.

MechWarrior Online

Challenging difficulty

An online mech combat game set in the BattleTech universe, where players pilot heavy BattleMechs with customized weapon and armor loadouts in team-based battles. Positioning, heat management and teamwork matter more than twitch reflexes.

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.

Wildgate

Challenging difficulty

Wildgate is a space team shooter where your crew pilots a ship, fights in first-person boarding action and trades fire in ship-to-ship combat. The goal is to escape first with the Artifact or be the last crew flying.

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.

Contra: Rogue Corps

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Apex Legends

Challenging difficulty

A fast free-to-play battle royale hero shooter set in the Titanfall universe, where squads of three legends with unique abilities fight to be the last team standing. Slick movement, tight gunplay and squad synergy define it.
