Panzer Paladin

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A retro action platformer where you pilot a power-armored paladin, seizing weapons from defeated demons and wielding them in melee. Weapons wear out, so parrying and smart weapon choice are central.

Ghoulboy

Fantasy setting

Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.

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.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced 16-bit ninja platformer built on precise jumping, shuriken and sword combat, with varied stages like horseback and surfboard rides. Tight controls and tough boss fights make it a genre classic.

Rygar

Fantasy setting

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.
