Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Challenging difficulty

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.

Volgarr the Viking

Challenging difficulty

A merciless retro arcade platformer where a Viking fights through brutally tough levels with precise jumps and spear throws. Every hit counts, and only those who learn the patterns will progress.

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.

Ghoulboy

Jumping and platforming

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.

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.

Peasant Knight

Challenging difficulty

You are always running forward and have only jump and stop, while traps, enemies and hazards pile up ahead. That stripped-down control makes its demanding platforming puzzles feel tense and inventive.

Onikira: Demon Killer

Jumping and platforming

A 2D platformer that blends the combo-heavy combat of 3D beat 'em ups like Ninja Gaiden with wall jumps, air juggles and switching between weapons such as the katana and naginata. It is set in a mythical feudal Japan.

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.
