Valfaris: Mecha Therion

Boss fights as highlights

A heavy 2.5D side-scrolling shoot 'em up where you pilot the mecha Therion through grim, metal-soaked sci-fi worlds. Fast, demanding action meets dark aesthetics and a driving metal soundtrack.

Alien Soldier

Challenging difficulty

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

Rive

Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced 2D twin-stick shooter with platforming elements where you pilot a spider-tank through hordes of robots. Hacks let you alter enemy behavior, and a tongue-in-cheek tone keeps things light.

Mighty No. 9

Boss fights as highlights

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Mega Man 11

Boss fights as highlights

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Super Contra

Challenging difficulty

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Hard Corps: Uprising

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D run-and-gun in the Contra tradition with sleek anime-style visuals and tight controls. Choose pure Arcade mode or the Rising mode with purchasable upgrades, and tackle the steep challenge solo or with a friend in co-op.

Velocity 2X

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast sci-fi game that blends top-down shoot-'em-up stages with quick platforming and teleport-based puzzle sections. It's all about speed, precise control and chasing best times.
