  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Ghoulboy

Fantasy setting

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.

Angvik

Fantasy setting

An action platformer where you take up your father's gear to retake a castle seized by a barbarian. You get only one life and death is permanent, so every step has to be made with care.

Onikira: Demon Killer

Fantasy setting

A 2D platformer that blends the combo-heavy combat of 3D beat 'em ups like Ninja Gaiden with wall jumps, air juggles and switching between weapons such as the katana and naginata. It is set in a mythical feudal Japan.

Rygar

Fantasy setting

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.

Wings of Vi

Fantasy setting

A demanding 2D action platformer where you play the angel Vi, leaping and fighting through perilous worlds to stop the freed demon lord Jeh'oul. Precise jumping and quick reactions are the core of the experience.

Momodora

Fantasy setting

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.

Bard's Gold

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough retro pixel platformer where you play a bard hunting for the key and door in randomly assembled levels. There is no tutorial, so you figure out the mechanics yourself and buy upgrades between runs.
