Brings what grabs you about Sin and Punishment: good gunplay, a sci-fi setting and combat with precise timing.

Platinum Games' blisteringly fast third-person shooter where rocket-boosted slides and slow-motion aiming turn cover shooting into a high-speed ballet against robot armies. Short, intense and packed with spectacle.

Robotron: 2084

Shooting and gunplay

A legendary arcade twin-stick shooter where you fight endless robot waves alone while rescuing the last humans. Frantic, punishing and built purely around reflexes.

Einhänder

Shooting and gunplay

A classic Square side-scrolling shooter where you pilot a nimble fighter and steal weapons from enemies to use as your own. Driving techno music, imposing bosses and demanding precision make it a PlayStation cult favourite.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, brutal 90s-style boomer shooter where you play a Space Marine tearing through hordes of Chaos forces with a heavy arsenal. Crunchy pixel visuals, relentless action and a heavy metal soundtrack define it.

Contra: Shattered Soldier

Shooting and gunplay

A brutal 2D run-and-gun shooter in the classic Contra mold, packed with relentless bosses and punishing difficulty. Bill Rizer seeks revenge and the truth in a sci-fi setting, with a ranking system and multiple endings encouraging replays.

Astebreed

Shooting and gunplay

A fast-paced anime-style mecha shooter that blends on-rails shooting sections with close-range hack-and-slash combat. You pilot a giant war machine in a war against a mechanical alien race.

Sine Mora

Action-packed real-time combat

A gorgeous side-scrolling shmup from Grasshopper and Digital Reality where time is your health and a tool you can slow down. It features huge bosses, a soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and a surprisingly dark, fragmented story about anthropomorphic animal pilots.

Darius Gaiden

Shooting and gunplay

A classic side-scrolling shoot'em up where you pilot the Silver Hawk against giant mechanical fish bosses, with branching stage routes. Upgradable weapons and the new black hole bomb drive intense arcade action.

Truxton

Challenging difficulty

Truxton is a classic vertical shoot 'em up from the arcade era, where you pilot a small spaceship through five large levels packed with enemy waves. With just a shot and a bomb button, you fight through bosses that loop endlessly at higher difficulties.
