A legendary run-and-gun classic with gorgeously animated pixel art, slapstick humor and frantic firefights where you hijack tanks and rescue prisoners. Best enjoyed in two-player co-op, and as punishing as any great arcade game.

Brings what grabs you about Metal Slug: playing together in co-op, good gunplay and plenty of humour.

A chaotic run-and-gun platformer starring parodies of action movie heroes, where nearly everything is destructible and explosions tear levels apart. With up to four friends in co-op, the mayhem becomes gloriously over-the-top fun.

Huntdown

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A punchy 2D run-and-gun shooter with pixel art, a neon dystopian city and 80s action-movie flair. As a bounty hunter you take down gangs solo or in co-op, using cover, a wide range of guns and hard-hitting boss fights.

Gunstar Heroes

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.

Cuphead

Lavish presentation

A brutally tough boss-rush shooter animated like a 1930s cartoon, where precise dodging, parrying and shooting decide every fight. A swinging big-band jazz score and local co-op round it out.

Mighty Goose

Lavish presentation

You play a gun-toting goose blasting through fast run-and-gun stages packed with enemy swarms and screen-filling bosses. Its cartoonish humor and over-the-top war machines give it personality.

Hard Corps: Uprising

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D run-and-gun in the Contra tradition with sleek anime-style visuals and tight controls. Choose pure Arcade mode or the Rising mode with purchasable upgrades, and tackle the steep challenge solo or with a friend in co-op.

Contra: Operation Galuga

Challenging difficulty

You run and gun through punishing stages in the spirit of the legendary 80s series, now with modern graphics and sound. Teaming up with a friend in Story Mode or with up to three others in Arcade Mode makes the explosive co-op combat especially fun.

Blazing Chrome

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 16-bit style run-and-gun in the spirit of Contra, where you blast through a robot apocalypse as a human soldier or a rebel robot. Fast reflexes, boss pattern learning and optional co-op define the experience.

Resogun

Lavish presentation

A frantic arcade shoot 'em up set in destructible voxel worlds, where you rescue survivors and keep your multiplier alive. Great for score chasers, solo or in online co-op.
