  • Sci-fi setting
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you fly your ship freely through tight tunnels and caverns, fighting hostile robots. Fully three-dimensional movement with no fixed up or down makes it distinctive and demanding.

Forsaken

Sci-fi setting

A fast 1998 sci-fi shooter where you pilot a hovering craft through twisting tunnels of a ruined future world, fighting in every direction. Its full six-degrees-of-freedom movement and frantic multiplayer deathmatch set it apart.

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance

Sci-fi setting

A Star Wars space combat flight sim where you start as a member of a trading family and get drawn into the Rebel Alliance's war against the Empire. You pilot iconic ships including the X-Wing and Millennium Falcon, with detailed cockpit controls and power management.

Descent

Sci-fi setting

A pioneering six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting mine tunnels, destroying hostile robots. Disorienting true-3D mazes and the hunt for keycards give it its unique appeal.

Abuse

Sci-fi setting

A 1996 side-scrolling shooter where you move with the keyboard and aim freely with the mouse. You battle swarms of mutants and solve simple switch puzzles across dark sci-fi levels.

Super Contra

Sci-fi setting

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Descent II

Sci-fi setting

A classic six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting alien mines full of hostile robots. Key hunting, new weapons and disorienting 3D navigation make for intense action.

Aliens versus Predator

Sci-fi setting

A classic first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator or Alien. Each species has its own abilities and weapons, giving a very different feel from tense horror to stalking prey.

Mighty No. 9

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Killzone: Liberation

Sci-fi setting

An isometric top-down shooter on PSP set in the Killzone universe, where you fight through the ISA–Helghast war in intense firefights, with co-op and competitive multiplayer options.
