Rygar

98 %Match

1986PlayStation

  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Action-packed real-time combat

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.

Bearslayer

Challenging difficulty

A fast one-button arcade platformer starring Lāčplēsis, the hero of Latvian legend, demanding precision and quick reflexes. Expect to die a lot and retry constantly.

Athena

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic SNK arcade platformer where Princess Athena fights through mythology-inspired worlds, picking up weapons and armor along the way.

Wings of Vi

Fantasy setting

A demanding 2D action platformer where you play the angel Vi, leaping and fighting through perilous worlds to stop the freed demon lord Jeh'oul. Precise jumping and quick reactions are the core of the experience.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

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.

Momodora

Fantasy setting

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Momodora III

Fantasy setting

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.
