  • Challenging difficulty
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Alien Soldier

Challenging difficulty

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Sci-fi setting

A fast, old-school 2D action platformer where you play as Gunvolt and his rival Copen, tagging enemies and unleashing flashy lock-on attacks. It emphasizes tight stages, boss fights and score chasing with an anime flavor.

Flinthook

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced action platformer with roguelike elements where you play a space pirate, swinging through randomly built ships with a grappling hook, shooting enemies and using slow motion to dodge danger.

Gravity Circuit

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D action platformer in the vein of Mega Man X, where Kai uses a grappling power and gravity abilities to hurl robots through stages and boss fights. Fluid combat, crisp pixel art and a driving soundtrack.

Mighty No. 9

Sci-fi setting

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

20XX

Challenging difficulty

A Mega Man-inspired action platformer roguelite with procedurally generated levels, new weapons and abilities, and tough bosses, playable solo or in co-op.

Mega Man X7

Sci-fi setting

The first 3D outing of the Mega Man X series, where you switch between X-hunter heroes like Zero and Axl, running and gunning through eight selectable stages against Mavericks. It mixes 2D and 3D sections, though it is widely seen as divisive for its camera and controls.

Mega Man X5

Sci-fi setting

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero through eight stages against Reploid bosses while a falling space colony threatens Earth. Hero choice, boss weaknesses and a ticking clock add variety and pressure.
