TimeSplitters 2

Lots of humour

Rise of the Triad

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, over-the-top reboot of a 90s shooter classic, packed with explosions, deadly traps and launch pads. It favors pure twitch action over tactics, with a tongue-in-cheek attitude.

TimeSplitters

Co-op or multiplayer

A fast, arcade-style first-person shooter that sends you through levels set in different eras via time travel. Its bot-filled multiplayer and built-in map editor are the standout features.

The Showdown Effect

Co-op or multiplayer

A 2.5D multiplayer action game styled after 80s and 90s action movies, where over-the-top heroes battle in fast gunfights and melee brawls. Tongue-in-cheek humor and exaggerated action take center stage.

Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense

Co-op or multiplayer

Arcade vehicular combat with a 70s flavor: you drive heavily armed cars through chaotic battles in destructible arenas against a futuristic oil conglomerate. The over-the-top fun shines especially in split-screen multiplayer.

Chicken Invaders Universe

Sci-fi setting

A humorous arcade space shooter where you blast waves of vengeful alien chickens, upgrade your weapons and can team up with friends. The Universe edition adds persistent progression and online elements.

War of the Monsters

Lots of humour

A tongue-in-cheek monster brawler inspired by B-movies, where giant creatures fight in destructible cities and use cars, rubble and tanks as weapons. It shines most in multiplayer.

Duke Nukem 3D

Sci-fi setting

A cult classic boomer shooter starring a wisecracking action hero blasting aliens through interactive, maze-like city levels packed with secrets. Its crude satirical humor, inventive weapons and destructible environments made it an icon of 90s FPS design.

Metal Slug 3

Lots of humour

A classic 2D run-and-gun shooter with lovingly animated pixel art, zany humor and wild twists like zombies, aliens and rideable vehicles. Fast, punishing arcade action best enjoyed solo or with a friend.
