Yars: Recharged

Sci-fi setting

A neon-soaked reimagining of the Atari classic that blends arcade shooting with bullet hell, demanding that you read boss patterns and audio-visual warnings. It is backed by a driving electronic soundtrack.

Mega Man X8

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2.5D run-and-gun platformer where you pick a team of three Maverick Hunters, tackle bosses in any order and steal their weapons. The lunar adventure adds team swapping, armor upgrades and high-speed action.

Mega Man 11

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Mega Man 8

Sci-fi setting

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

Intake

A frantic arcade shooter drawing on Akira and Evangelion, following a treasure hunt to the Moon with an intense soundtrack and over-the-top visuals.

Mega Man X4

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero and take down Maverick bosses in any order, grabbing their weapons. Tight controls, anime cutscenes and a driving soundtrack make it a series highlight.

Cyber Hook

Lavish presentation

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.
