Brings what grabs you about Hotline Miami: a dark atmosphere, a demanding difficulty and combat with precise timing.

A brutal top-down action sequel where one hit kills and every floor demands split-second planning and reflexes. A fractured, non-linear story across multiple characters unfolds in garish neon, driven by a hypnotic synthwave soundtrack.

OTXO

Challenging difficulty

A brutal top-down roguelite shooter where you slow time to blast and brawl through a mansion full of enemies. Fast runs, precise aiming and a stylish, dark look define it.

Devil Daggers

Challenging difficulty

A brutal retro-styled arena shooter where you survive as long as possible against escalating demon swarms in a pitch-black void. Every second counts, with tight movement and crucial audio cues deciding your spot on the global leaderboard.

Cultic

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, old-school boomer shooter in which you blast your way through a grim, twisted cult with shotguns and dynamite. Fast movement, gory violence and hidden secrets drive the experience.

Deadbolt

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutally tough 2D stealth shooter where you play the Reaper hunting the undead. Every mistake can be fatal, so you must carefully plan your stealth, takedowns and shooting.

Ultrakill

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Ultrakill is an extremely fast retro first-person shooter that blends style-ranking from character action games with brutal carnage. You heal by bathing in enemy blood and must fluidly chain weapons, movement and combos.

Post Void

Challenging difficulty

An extremely fast, psychedelic first-person shooter built around short roguelike runs where speed and reflexes are everything. Constant killing keeps you alive while its stark, trippy visuals pull you into a flow state.

Max Payne

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim neo-noir shooter that popularized bullet time: as a vengeful cop you dive in slow motion through a snowbound New York, with the story told through graphic-novel panels and hardboiled narration.

Furi

Distinctive, stylised art style

Furi is a pure boss-rush duelist where you mix sword combat, parrying and twin-stick shooting in intense one-on-one fights. Each guardian has a distinct style, backed by bold comic-inspired art and a driving electronic soundtrack.

Dusk

Dark, serious atmosphere

Dusk is a fast, 90s-style boomer shooter with eerie atmosphere and maze-like levels full of secrets. It focuses on fluid movement and punchy weapons against hordes of cultists and worse horrors.
