They Bleed Pixels

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutally tough action platformer with a Lovecraftian horror vibe, blending precise jumping with fluid combo-based combat. Kicking enemies into saws and spikes is the hook, wrapped in a distinctive pixel-and-ink look.

The Revenge of Shinobi

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic 16-bit Sega ninja platformer where you play Joe Musashi, slicing through tight, punchy stages with shuriken, sword and ninja magic against a criminal syndicate. Known for its great soundtrack and demanding action.

A fast retro first-person shooter in the spirit of Doom, Hexen and Wolfenstein, with pixel-art visuals, guns and spells. Over 60 levels of monsters and bosses, plus a simple upgrade system for weapons and magic.

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

Fantasy setting

A tough 3D action platformer set in the Ghosts'n Goblins universe: as the knight Maximo you hack through hordes of undead with sword and shield, with your armor breaking off as you take hits. A charming, macabre style and steep difficulty define it.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Splatterhouse

Dark, serious atmosphere

A classic arcade beat 'em up where you brawl through a cursed mansion as Rick, empowered by the Terror Mask. Gory horror in the vein of Friday the 13th and Evil Dead 2 meets tough, linear action.

Haunted Castle

Dark, serious atmosphere

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.
