Astral Ascent

Lavish presentation

A fast-paced 2D action roguelite where you pick one of four heroes and take on the twelve Zodiac bosses. Quick combat, plenty of spells and allies keep each run varied.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Challenging difficulty

A blistering hack-and-slash where young Dante juggles swappable fighting styles, weapons and guns, and the game rewards you for fighting with flair. It is famously punishing, with legendary boss duels like the fights against Vergil and a heavy metal soundtrack.

Devil May Cry 5

Lavish presentation

A blistering stylish-action showcase where three wildly different demon hunters chain combos and weapon swaps to chase the highest style rank. Over-the-top cutscenes, a pumping soundtrack and deep mechanical mastery make it a genre benchmark.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Lavish presentation

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A rhythm-based roguelike first-person shooter where shooting, reloading and moving must land on the beat of a rock opera soundtrack. As a Valkyrie you fight through randomized dungeons full of enemies that attack in time with the music.

Dragon's Lair

Challenging difficulty

An arcade classic where you guide the knight Dirk through a castle full of traps and monsters. It plays like a hand-drawn cartoon film, but demands split-second, memorized inputs at exactly the right moment.

Death's Door

Fantasy setting

An atmospheric action-adventure where you play a small crow reaper collecting souls across a whimsical, melancholy world. Tight Zelda-like combat, clever environmental puzzles and a distinctive blend of gloom and dry humor.

Shovel Knight

Distinctive, stylised art style

A lovingly crafted NES-style platformer where a shovel-wielding knight pogo-bounces through varied stages, digs up treasure and battles a colorful cast of rival knights. Tight controls, charming humor and a superb chiptune soundtrack make it a modern classic.
