Contra: Rogue Corps

Sci-fi setting

A third-person twin-stick shooter that carries the Contra series forward with chaotic firefights, over-the-top violence and irreverent humor. You blast through hordes and huge bosses solo or in co-op with a cast of different characters.

Serious Sam: Shatterverse

Co-op or multiplayer

A chaotic co-op roguelite shooter for up to five players, blasting through shifting universes while stacking boons and run modifiers into ever wilder builds. Classic Serious Sam enemy hordes meet quick-restart run structure.

Earth Defense Force 2025

Sci-fi setting

A gleefully cheesy third-person shooter where you mow down swarms of giant insects and robots in destructible cities, solo or in co-op. B-movie charm, chaos and weapon collecting define the fun.

The Showdown Effect

Lots of humour

A 2.5D multiplayer action game styled after 80s and 90s action movies, where over-the-top heroes battle in fast gunfights and melee brawls. Tongue-in-cheek humor and exaggerated action take center stage.

Awesomenauts

Lots of humour

A fast 2D platformer take on the MOBA where two teams of quirky heroes with unique abilities push lanes, destroy turrets and attack the enemy base. Teamwork and item builds decide matches, wrapped in a charming cartoon look.
