Feudal Alloy

Strong character progression

A metroidvania starring medieval robots piloted by goldfish in bowls. You explore an interconnected world, fight in real time and upgrade your gear and abilities.

Axiom Verge 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A metroidvania with a large, interconnected world where new abilities and a drone unlock secrets and shortcuts. It continues the Axiom Verge universe but works fine without playing the original first.

Haiku, the Robot

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A compact 2D metroidvania where you play a small robot exploring a decaying, virus-ridden machine world. Fast sword combat, platforming and new abilities gradually unlock hidden areas.

Yars Rising

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D Metroidvania from WayForward where young hacker Emi Kimura infiltrates a shady corporation and revisits old areas with new abilities. Platforming action, sneaking and hacking drive a conspiracy mystery that reimagines the classic Yars arcade brand.

Blaster Master Zero

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro reboot of the NES classic where you switch between a tank vehicle and on-foot sections in 2D levels. Boss fights, upgrades and metroidvania-style backtracking deliver old-school 8-bit action.
