Brings what grabs you about Strikers 1945 II: good gunplay, a sci-fi setting and a demanding difficulty.

Einhänder

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
