Brings what grabs you about Onikira: Demon Killer: melee combat with weapons or fists, jumping and platforming as well as a fantasy setting.

A fast 2D sword-slashing platformer inspired by classic pulp fantasy, where you hack and leap through episodic stages as a small but mighty barbarian in retro pixel-art style.

Panzer Paladin

Action-packed real-time combat

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

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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

Jumping and platforming

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

Action-packed real-time combat

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

Jumping and platforming

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.
