Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Castlevania Chronicles

Boss fights as highlights

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Boss fights as highlights

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

They Bleed Pixels

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
