  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced top-down roguelike shooter that sends you through a monster-infested mansion with a Halloween flavor. A large pool of weapons and items makes each run play out differently.

Nightmare Reaper

Distinctive, stylised art style

A retro boomer shooter in the vein of Doom and Blood, mixing fast, brutal gunplay in procedurally generated nightmare levels with modern RPG-style abilities and weapon upgrades.

Knight Terrors

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A bloody arcade side-scroller where you slash demons through endless procedurally generated levels while chasing a high score. Unlockable extras keep you coming back for another run.

Cultic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, old-school boomer shooter in which you blast your way through a grim, twisted cult with shotguns and dynamite. Fast movement, gory violence and hidden secrets drive the experience.

The Binding of Isaac

Challenging difficulty

A grotesque twin-stick roguelike set in randomly generated basements, where countless bizarre items transform Isaac in wildly different ways each run. Dark, religiously tinged humor meets huge replayability and a wealth of secrets to unlock.

Super House of Dead Ninjas

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D action-platformer where you plunge down a randomly generated tower as a crimson ninja, cutting through enemies with blades, shurikens and special attacks. Short, frantic runs and a retro look give it an arcade feel.

Room13

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You blast your way as a faceless hero through hordes of undead, room by room, in a labyrinth. Along the way you unlock new faces, customize weapons and fight bosses.

Into the Pit

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast retro-style first-person shooter built as a roguelite: you blast through randomized demon-infested levels around a cursed village, rescue survivors and grow stronger with each run. Its chunky low-poly look recalls 90s classics.
