1986 PlayStation

  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat

Haunted Castle

Dark, serious atmosphere

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Athena

Fantasy setting

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

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.

Sengoku

Fantasy setting

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.

Momodora III

Fantasy setting

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.

8 Eyes

Challenging difficulty

A classic 8-bit platformer where you fight through castles as falconer Orin, directing your falcon Cutrus to attack enemies. In two-player mode, a second player controls the falcon.

Nocturnal

Dark, serious atmosphere

An action-platformer where you play Ardeshir, returning home to find his island shrouded in mist, fighting with fire and steel to uncover what happened to his people.

Knightmare

Fantasy setting

An early Konami MSX classic: as the knight Popolon you fight upward through vertically scrolling levels full of enemies to rescue Princess Aphrodite. It blends shoot-'em-up action with a medieval fantasy setting and power-ups.

BloodRayne: Betrayal

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutal 2D hack-and-slash platformer with detailed HD sprites, gory combat and a steep difficulty curve. You play the dhampir Rayne, carving through a gothic world with precise melee and jumping challenges.
