AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Blazing Chrome

If Contra 4 left you craving more pixelated explosions and relentless boss rushes, Blazing Chrome delivers a modern take on the classic run-and-gun formula, complete with a satisfyingly high difficulty.

91% Match

Metal Slug 3

If Contra 4 is a symphony of destruction, Metal Slug 3 is a jazz improvisation — equally explosive, absurd, and demanding, with a vibrant pixel art style and a penchant for over-the-top action.

89% Match

Cuphead

Don't let the charming 1930s cartoon aesthetic fool you; Cuphead is a brutal gauntlet of boss battles and platforming stages that demands the same pixel-perfect precision and memorization as Contra 4.
