  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fan-made remake of Metroid II that blends classic Samus Aran gameplay with modern controls, expanded areas and punchy boss fights. Hunting the Metroids across planet SR388 is atmospheric and rewards thorough exploration.

Shadow Labyrinth

Lots to discover

A dark 2D Metroidvania spin-off in the PAC-MAN universe: as the Swordsman you explore an alien planet, devour enemies and grow into an apex predator. It blends fast sword combat with platforming and exploration.

Kunai

Lots to discover

You guide Tabby, a robot wielding kunai and fused with ancient warrior spirits, through an interconnected world full of secrets. Fast combat, a nimble dash and new abilities that unlock previously sealed areas make it stand out.

VVVVVV

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough retro platformer where you can't jump but instead flip gravity to switch between floor and ceiling. Brutally precise rooms, generous checkpoints and a pounding chiptune soundtrack make it a cult classic.

Metroid Dread

Lots to discover

Samus Aran's 2D return pairs fluid, fast movement and precise melee counters with classic Metroidvania exploration. Tense escapes from the near-invincible E.M.M.I. robots and demanding boss fights keep the pressure high.

Haydee

Sci-fi setting

You explore a sci-fi world in the style of old-school Metroidvanias, combining third-person shooting and demanding platforming. Its blend of modern action with classic backtracking and puzzles is what makes it stand out.

Ghost Song

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An atmospheric 2D Metroidvania set on the lonely moon Lorian V, where you awaken as a Deadsuit, explore eerie caverns, gain new abilities and uncover cosmic secrets. Fluid combat and a moody sci-fi setting define the adventure.

Axiom Verge

Action-packed real-time combat

A retro-styled Metroidvania in which a scientist wakes up in a strange biomechanical world. It thrives on a labyrinthine map, offbeat weapons and abilities, and the thrill of uncovering secrets.
