Gunstar Heroes

Lavish presentation

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.

Exit the Gungeon

Lots of humour

A frantic bullet-hell roguelike where you escape a collapsing Gungeon by elevator, juggling ever-changing weapons and dodge rolls. Short, chaotic runs full of quirky humor and pixel-art charm.

Huntdown

Lavish presentation

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Cuphead

Lavish presentation

A brutally tough boss-rush shooter animated like a 1930s cartoon, where precise dodging, parrying and shooting decide every fight. A swinging big-band jazz score and local co-op round it out.

Bleed

Lots of humour

A fast arcade action-platformer in pixel art where you play Wryn, dodging acrobatically and chaining gunfire into stylish combos. Short and punchy, with inventive boss fights against parodied videogame heroes.

Blazing Chrome

Lavish presentation

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Fight'N Rage

Distinctive, stylised art style

A classic side-scrolling beat'em up that recreates the 90s arcade golden age with tight combat, combos and crisp pixel art. It is best enjoyed in local co-op, with a nostalgic retro soundtrack.

Streets of Rage 4

Lavish presentation

A fast side-scrolling beat 'em up with gorgeous hand-drawn art, tight combat and a pumping soundtrack. Brawling through Wood Oak City shines in co-op, with combo mastery and replayability at the core.
