Momodora III

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Momodora

Melee combat with weapons or fists

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Odallus: The Dark Call

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A dark retro Metroidvania with an 8-bit look that recalls Castlevania and Ghosts'n Goblins. Tough platforming action meets interconnected levels full of secrets and upgrades.

Ghoulboy

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Ghoulboy is a 16-bit style retro platformer where you hack through dungeons, collect loot, dodge traps and fight bosses. It's a nostalgic blend of hack-and-slash action and light RPG elements.

Rygar

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 8-bit Castlevania-style action platformer where Zangetsu fights through demon-filled stages with a rotating cast of allies. Multiple routes and endings add replay value with a fair but demanding challenge.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.
