Rygar

96 %

1986 PlayStation

  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Dark Ages

Fantasy setting

A classic side-scrolling DOS platformer from Apogee set in a medieval world, and the first shareware game to support AdLib sound. It offers three episodes of hazards and enemies and is now freeware.

Athena

Fantasy setting

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Bearslayer

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast one-button arcade platformer starring Lāčplēsis, the hero of Latvian legend, demanding precision and quick reflexes. Expect to die a lot and retry constantly.

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.

Knightmare

Fantasy setting

An early Konami MSX classic: as the knight Popolon you fight upward through vertically scrolling levels full of enemies to rescue Princess Aphrodite. It blends shoot-'em-up action with a medieval fantasy setting and power-ups.

Taimumari

Action-packed real-time combat

A retro pixel-art platformer in which the young wizard Himari travels through different ages to restore balance to time.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Fantasy setting

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.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic 16-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd jumps and punches his way across Paperock to rescue his kidnapped father. Colorful stages, boss fights and tight platforming action define the experience.
