  • Playing together in co-op
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Shooting and gunplay

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.

Alien Swarm

Playing together in co-op

A free top-down co-op shooter from Valve where a squad of four marines with distinct classes fights through hordes of aliens. Teamwork, loadouts and unlockable weapons drive frantic, tactical firefights.

Air Buster

Playing together in co-op

A classic arcade side-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the vein of R-Type and Gradius, blasting through sci-fi stages with power-ups. Its standout feature is simultaneous two-player play.

Killing Floor

Co-op or multiplayer

Smash T.V.

Shooting and gunplay

An arcade twin-stick shooter set in a dystopian game show: you fight endless waves of enemies in tight arenas, grab weapons and bonuses, and aim to defeat the host at the end. Frantic, chaotic and gleefully over the top.

Beat Hazard

Playing together in co-op

An arcade twin-stick shooter where your own music library drives the enemy waves and your ship's firepower. Every song creates a unique, chaotic and flashy experience.

Killzone: Liberation

Action-packed real-time combat

Earth Defense Force 2025

Shooting and gunplay

A gleefully cheesy third-person shooter where you mow down swarms of giant insects and robots in destructible cities, solo or in co-op. B-movie charm, chaos and weapon collecting define the fun.
