Brings what grabs you about Jet Set Knights: jumping and platforming, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as a fantasy setting.

Action-packed real-time combat

An arena-based action platformer where you face fairytale characters whose abilities grow stronger as you progress. Fast, arcade-style fights and a playful look define the experience.

Wonder Boy in Monster World

Jumping and platforming

Panzer Paladin

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro action platformer where you pilot a power-armored paladin, seizing weapons from defeated demons and wielding them in melee. Weapons wear out, so parrying and smart weapon choice are central.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced 2D action platformer with roguelike runs where you play as a tiny skeleton who swaps skulls to change fighting styles while slaying the human heroes who captured your king.

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.
