2021Nintendo Switch

Brings what grabs you about Carrion: a sci-fi setting, lots to discover as well as jumping and platforming.

Samus Aran's 2D return pairs fluid, fast movement and precise melee counters with classic Metroidvania exploration. Tense escapes from the near-invincible E.M.M.I. robots and demanding boss fights keep the pressure high.

Ghost Song

Dread and tension

An atmospheric 2D Metroidvania set on the lonely moon Lorian V, where you awaken as a Deadsuit, explore eerie caverns, gain new abilities and uncover cosmic secrets. Fluid combat and a moody sci-fi setting define the adventure.

Axiom Verge

Lots to discover

A retro-styled Metroidvania in which a scientist wakes up in a strange biomechanical world. It thrives on a labyrinthine map, offbeat weapons and abilities, and the thrill of uncovering secrets.

Hidden Deep

Dread and tension

In this 2D action game you lead a team of explorers deep beneath the ocean floor to learn what happened to a lost expedition. Along the way you run into alien structures and deadly creatures in a tense sci-fi horror atmosphere.

Animal Well

Dark, serious atmosphere

A dense, interconnected pixel-art labyrinth packed with secrets, where a handful of tools unlock clever puzzles. Its cute look hides an eerie atmosphere, and the deepest mysteries reward real puzzle-solving and curiosity.

AM2R: Return of Samus

Sci-fi setting

A fan-made remake of Metroid II that blends classic Samus Aran gameplay with modern controls, expanded areas and punchy boss fights. Hunting the Metroids across planet SR388 is atmospheric and rewards thorough exploration.

Ghost 1.0

Jumping and platforming

A sci-fi metroidvania where you infiltrate a space station as an agent, switching between a robotic body and a digital ghost form to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

The Mummy: Demastered

Dark, serious atmosphere

A 16-bit-style pixel art Metroidvania where you play a Prodigium agent fighting Ahmanet's undead hordes with guns and upgrades. It stands out for tight run-and-gun action and well-crafted interconnected level design.

Inside

Dread and tension

A wordless, oppressive puzzle-platformer in which a boy slips through a bleak dystopia, controlling bodies with his mind along the way. Masterful atmosphere and a disturbing finale make it unforgettable.
