Brings what grabs you about Shady Knight: melee combat with weapons or fists, action-packed real-time combat and combat with precise timing.

A physics-driven combat game where you play a fighting rabbit, countering, throwing, kicking and slashing your way through enemies. Its fluid yet hard-to-master controls and a big modding community set it apart.

Shadow Fight 2

Fantasy setting

A 2D silhouette fighting game that blends duels with RPG progression: you collect weapons and armor, upgrade skills and moves, and take down opponents in one-on-one fights and boss battles.

One Finger Death Punch 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A lightning-fast stickman kung-fu brawler played with just two buttons, built around precise timing and reflexes. Fights feel like choreographed martial-arts movies as you chew through waves of enemies.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

Fantasy setting

An action adventure with fighting-game-inspired combat set in the bizarre land of Zenozoik, where the warrior Pseudo hunts for powerful artifacts. Its offbeat art direction and ritual-driven combat give it a distinct identity.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Jumping and platforming

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast arena hack-and-slash where you cut through waves of demons with katana slashes and hand-to-hand moves. You wound enemies first, then sheathe your sword for a stylish finishing blow.

Croixleur Sigma

Challenging difficulty

In Croixleur Sigma you face fast, stylized 2D duels between two rivals whose friendship is tested by a ritual that decides the realm's future. The combat rewards precise reactions and clean timing.

Flame Keeper

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced action rogue-lite with responsive combat, where you cross varied lands, fight enemies and collect energy to keep a flame alive. Its stylized look and platforming elements give the genre its own twist.
