Rygar

Challenging difficulty

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora III

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Athena

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Momodora

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Onikira: Demon Killer

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A 2D platformer that blends the combo-heavy combat of 3D beat 'em ups like Ninja Gaiden with wall jumps, air juggles and switching between weapons such as the katana and naginata. It is set in a mythical feudal Japan.

A Bastard's Tale

Challenging difficulty

You fight your way through tough foes in this indie adventure, where parrying, attacking and well-timed reactions decide each encounter. Its pixel art and historical setting give it a distinct character.

Karateka

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You fight your way through feudal Japan as a lone martial artist to rescue Mariko from the warlord Akuma. This remake brings the 1984 classic into modern visuals, built around direct, timing-based fights and a stripped-down, focused feel.

Mulaka

Melee combat with weapons or fists

As the Tarahumara shaman Sukurúame, you travel through stylized landscapes of northern Mexico, channeling demigod powers against creatures from indigenous mythology. A compact action-adventure mixing combat, platforming and puzzles.

Ghoulboy

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.
