1986 PlayStation

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Fantasy setting

Athena

Action-packed real-time combat

Momodora

Challenging difficulty

Momodora III

Challenging difficulty

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.
