  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutal top-down roguelite shooter where you slow time to blast and brawl through a mansion full of enemies. Fast runs, precise aiming and a stylish, dark look define it.

Hotline Miami

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutally fast top-down shooter where one hit kills and every floor is mastered through rapid trial, error and instant restarts. Its neon visuals, pulsing synthwave soundtrack and unsettling, surreal story about violence make it unforgettable.

Sifu

Lavish presentation

Sifu is a punishing kung fu brawler about avenging your murdered family. Precise blocking, dodging and countering drive the combat, and every death ages you, raising the stakes with each attempt.

Deadbolt

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A brutally tough 2D stealth shooter where you play the Reaper hunting the undead. Every mistake can be fatal, so you must carefully plan your stealth, takedowns and shooting.

Forgive Me Father

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast retro horror shooter in a comic-book look that blends Lovecraftian madness with frantic fights against cultists and monsters. A sanity mechanic and unlockable abilities add a gritty, dark edge to the action.

Devil May Cry

Lavish presentation

The game that founded the stylish action genre: as demon hunter Dante you chain sword slashes and gunfire into flashy combos while a style meter grades every fight. A gothic castle setting, tough bosses and punishing difficulty define the experience.

Ape Out

Distinctive, stylised art style

A frantic smash-'em-up where you play an escaping ape, using guards as weapons and shields. A reactive jazz drum soundtrack and bold graphic style turn every escape attempt into a rhythmic rush.
