Mighty No. 9 is an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!
The cave shooter mechanics of yore, coupled with today's graphics. As the fearless pilot of a thruster-powered space ship, you must destroy aliens and rescue civilians whilst avoiding to bump too harshly into the scenery.
If Retrobooster's 3D models are arguably not the most detailed, the subtle physics and the special FX are indeed... really slick. Impeccable flightstick support and a DRM-free demo always impress, too.
One of the few (and arguably the best) fluid-physics based puzzlers on the omnipotent PC platform is in fact... a cave shooter released 4 years earlier on the PS3. Go figure.

The Creators Of AI War Bring You...
A 2D sidescroller without a linear path. An action game with tactical combat and citybuilding. An adventure game that lets you free-roam a vast, procedurally-generated world. A Valley Without Wind defies genre stereotypes. Unlike other procedurally-generated games, you also get a logical progression in difficulty, plus helpful tips and checklists to guide your travels (should you need them).

P. Walter Tugnut, a hillbilly who lives in the countryside of a rural area in his dilapidated RV, has several weapons, ammunition, and beer, awaiting the eventual robot apocalypse. One day, a previously abandoned Chernobyl-style factory begins producing robots on its own. This is the day that Walter has been waiting for his entire life. He sets off in his RV on a robot-killing rampage, hoping to save humanity from an onslaught of deadly robot menaces.
It's only a 2.5D side-scrolling platform shooter, but somehow Double D managed to capture the intensity and wackiness of the Serious Sam FPSs. Hordes of well-known monsters from the 3D games and new baddies of all sizes, power-ups, secrets, it has it all. And lo and behold, the Gun Stacker system lets you combine and use multiple weapons as one massively insane superkillertool.
A demo is available on Steam.
