  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat

Cultic

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, old-school boomer shooter in which you blast your way through a grim, twisted cult with shotguns and dynamite. Fast movement, gory violence and hidden secrets drive the experience.

They Bleed Pixels

Challenging difficulty

A brutally tough action platformer with a Lovecraftian horror vibe, blending precise jumping with fluid combo-based combat. Kicking enemies into saws and spikes is the hook, wrapped in a distinctive pixel-and-ink look.

Vladik Brutal

NecroVisioN

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutal old-school shooter that starts in the trenches of World War I and descends into an occult hellscape of vampires, demons and zombies. Its appeal lies in mixing period firearms, melee and dark magic with a combo system, in the spirit of Painkiller but with noticeable budget roughness.

Painkiller

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, old-school first-person shooter where you plow through huge monster hordes as a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. Inventive dual-mode weapons, arena-style fights and a demon transformation power drive the frantic action.

Cop Bastard

Dark, serious atmosphere

A classic-style first-person shooter set in early 90s Japan, where you blast through yakuza and other gangs as a cop. The description suggests fast, straightforward shooting action.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.
