Exceptionally great Mega Man-like that goes beyond the usual agenda by taking in a grappling hook, platform fighter elements & some Mischief Makers (N64, 1997) tossing. Excellent level & boss design!

Good homage to Compile's The Guardian Legend (NES, 1988). Both combine multidirecitonal shooter (on foot) & vertical shooter (flying) sections. However, Astrolancer is much more linear & bullet hell.

Port of the original Wii multidirectional shooter from 2007. It was supposed to be a Pocky&Rocky game until the dev lost the license from Taito. It's decent, but clearly a budget title. 2P Co-Op.

Beautifully remastered & highly remixed version of the multidirectional 2P Co-Op shooter Pocky & Rocky (SNES, 1992). Once again, Tengo Project has done a great job of reviving a Natsume SNES classic!

An amazing inofficial sequel to Konami's MSX masterpiece The Maze of Galious (1987). The Steam version is a faithful port of the original MSX2 release from 2023 that now features local & online Co-Op.

The successor of Demons of Asteborg. An emulated MD action platformer from 2023 with great art, but unbalanced modern game design: roguelite & OP dodge rolls. Both make the action flat & too easy.

A well-made NES styled metroidvania that shines with its Mega Man-like gameplay & the fun set of moves/attacks spread across multiple characters. Secrets are everywhere & ensure constant progress.

One of the good homages to linear Castlevania! Great NES-style pixel art & fantastic music, good controls & thoughtful !evel design. Yet, it's a rather easy game once you know the clean boss patterns.

Released in 1988 & today Toaplan's most famous game. A masterpiece with an extremely influential art style, but still special in its overall game flow, e.g. with its numerous sets of brutal midbosses.

Toaplan's Commando-style push-scroller from 1990. Despite being one of the devs' most ambitious and best games, it has never received a home port before. Bitwave's port works great & and has 2P Co-Op.
