Rygar

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Goblin Sword

Linear, curated structure

Sengoku

Linear, curated structure

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.

The Legend of Korra

Focus on a single character

Hocus Pocus

Linear, curated structure

A classic DOS platformer where you play the young wizard apprentice Hocus, blasting monsters with lightning bolts and collecting keys and treasure across many levels to pass the Council of Wizards' trial.

Momodora III

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Momodora

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 16-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd jumps and punches his way across Paperock to rescue his kidnapped father. Colorful stages, boss fights and tight platforming action define the experience.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Linear, curated structure

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.
