  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Jumping and platforming
  • Fantasy setting

A retro action platformer where you pilot a power-armored paladin, seizing weapons from defeated demons and wielding them in melee. Weapons wear out, so parrying and smart weapon choice are central.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced 16-bit ninja platformer built on precise jumping, shuriken and sword combat, with varied stages like horseback and surfboard rides. Tight controls and tough boss fights make it a genre classic.

The Revenge of Shinobi

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic 16-bit Sega ninja platformer where you play Joe Musashi, slicing through tight, punchy stages with shuriken, sword and ninja magic against a criminal syndicate. Known for its great soundtrack and demanding action.

Shovel Knight

Jumping and platforming

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.

Athena

Jumping and platforming

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

Momodora III

Jumping and platforming

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.

Remnants of Naezith

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast precision platformer where you swing through levels with a grappling hook while chasing leaderboard times. Fluid movement and tricky timing challenges are the core of the experience.
