Einhänder

Boss fights as highlights

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Sine Mora

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition

Challenging difficulty

A fast arcade bullet-hell shooter with three ships and multiple modes ranging from beginner-friendly to brutal. The Break Meter for bombs and power-ups rewards aggressive, risky play.

R-Type Delta

Boss fights as highlights

You pilot your starfighter through the organic, biomechanical levels of the Bydo, with the series' first full 3D environments stepping in for the classic flat look. Its demanding enemy patterns and the Force pod's mix of weapons reward precise timing and quick decisions.

Gradius V

Challenging difficulty

An uncompromising side-scrolling shooter in which you weave through hazards and bullet fire while aiming your Options with the analog stick. Memorizing stages and precise positioning are the heart of the challenge.

Resogun

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic arcade shoot 'em up set in destructible voxel worlds, where you rescue survivors and keep your multiplier alive. Great for score chasers, solo or in online co-op.

Vanquish

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.
