Brings what grabs you about Ranger X: a post-apocalyptic setting, good gunplay and a sci-fi setting.

A fast, extremely gory 2D pixel-art shooter where you play a cyborg blasting through grim levels, killing enemies with chainsaws, shotguns or environmental hazards. A throwback to early 90s action games.

Bionic Commando

Jumping and platforming

As the bionically enhanced Nathan Spencer you swing with a grapple arm through ruined cityscapes and fight through a conspiracy in third-person action. The traversal is the core hook, while the story is secondary.

Terminator 2D: No Fate

Post-apocalyptic setting

A retro run-and-gun in the style of classic 16-bit action games that recreates scenes from Terminator 2 in pixel art, adding original stages and multiple endings. Fast, demanding shootouts and plenty of film atmosphere define it.

Blazing Chrome

Post-apocalyptic setting

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Rage

Post-apocalyptic setting

id Software's wasteland shooter shines with punchy, precise gunplay, wingsticks and enemies that react spectacularly to every hit. Buggy races and vehicle combat break up the shooting, though the story and open world feel thin.

Fracture

Post-apocalyptic setting

A third-person shooter set in 2161 where terrain-deforming grenades let you raise and lower the ground to outmaneuver enemies and create cover. The campaign follows soldier Jet Brody through a war between the two halves of a fractured United States.

Project Nimbus

Post-apocalyptic setting

A fast-paced mech action shooter where you pilot a BattleFrame through open skies, shooting down missiles and battling colossal bosses and ace pilots in a post-apocalyptic war.

Archangel: Hellfire

Post-apocalyptic setting

A VR shooter where you pilot a six-story mech from inside the cockpit, fighting a tyrannical corporation's machine army across a ruined America. It focuses on the hands-on feel of commanding a giant war machine.

Terminator Salvation

Post-apocalyptic setting

A linear third-person cover shooter tied to the film, in which you fight as John Connor alongside the Resistance through a ruined world against Skynet's machines. It offers mostly straightforward cover-based gunplay in the Terminator setting.
