Gameplay

Breakout Beyond
"In this electrifying reimagining of the 1976 arcade classic, players smash their way through each puzzle by clearing bricks to reach the goal. In this iteration, players blast through the screen sideways, challenging them to break through barriers while chaining combos that amplify the intensity with dazzling effects. Special blocks provide powerful boosts, from explosive brick-clearing bursts and protective barriers to a laser cannon that carves a path forward—each unleashing stunning, dynamic visuals that take Breakout to an entirely new level.

With 72 challenging levels, players will put their brick-busting skills to the test—but they don’t have to go it alone. They can team up with a friend in local two-player co-op for double the action or use the new focus mode, which slows down time, trading high scores for enhanced precision.", developed by Choice Provisions (BIT.TRIP series, Tharsis), published by Atari

Design and upgrade your mechs to fit your playstyle and make them more powerful with each run you complete.

Shadows of the Damned (Hella Remastered) (Legacy community wishlist entry)
"A third-person shooter starring the Mexican demon hunter Garcia Hotspur. His girlfriend Paula is kidnapped by Fleming, Lord of the Demons, and even though he is initially unable to stop him, he follows him into the underworld to get her back. Garcia is assisted by his sidekick Johnson, a skull that can take on different types of forms. It acts as a torch for melee attacks, but can also transform into a pistol, a shotgun or an automatic rifle. Each of the three gun forms can be further upgraded by collecting blue gems left behind by bosses. There are also red gems that are used to upgrade the other abilities, along with health. Health can also be restored through alcohol.

Darkness is an important part of the gameplay and the environment puzzles. Garcia can only reside in dark areas for a short time before his health starts to drain. This can be avoided by shooting and lighting goat heads, setting off fireworks or killing the demons that spread the darkness. For these events a special light bullet needs to be used. Garcia meets characters such as Colonel, and the half-human half-demon Christopher who acts as a salesman to purchase goods.

Certain levels have complete different gameplay and resemble mini-games, such as a 2D side-scrolling shooter with very different art design for instance. The action is often over the top and the conversations carry a humorous tone.", developed by Grasshopper Manufacture (The Silver Case, The 25th Ward: The Silver Case, Killer is Dead, Killer7 / Killer7 (2) [Legacy community wishlist entry], Lollipop Chainsaw [Legacy community wishlist entry], Let it Die [Legacy community wishlist entry])

Forestrike (Legacy community wishlist entry)
"A tactical kung-fu fighting game with a supernatural twist. Use your 'foresight' ability to visualize fights before they happen and hone your skills then rumble in reality, where defeat means starting over from scratch.
As a martial artist, named Yu, you embark on a journey across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral's influence. Adopting techniques from one of five unique Masters, each battle presents a puzzle that must be solved using your mind as well as your fists.

Yu encounters many foes on his path to the capital, and he is always outnumbered, but he has a secret weapon: the Foresight, a meditative technique that allows him to mentally perceive fights over and over until he finds a sequence of movements that allows him to overcome the odds.

Once ready, our hero must fight in reality, where losing means starting everything over, but progress is permanent. Winning doesn't always mean he will emerge from each encounter unscathed, but the further he travels, the stronger he will become.", developed by Skeleton Crew Studio, Thomas Olsson (Olija), published by Devolver Digital
