AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Ghouls 'n Ghosts

A direct spiritual successor to Ghosts 'n Goblins, this game refines the formula with new weapons, magic, and more intricate level design, offering an even more polished, yet equally brutal, action-platforming experience.

Ghosts 'n Goblins

If Wonder Boy's transformations and varied enemies appealed to you, Ghosts 'n Goblins offers a similar, yet significantly more punishing, side-scrolling gauntlet against mythical creatures.

Castlevania

Trade Wonder Boy's prehistoric charm for gothic horror, but retain the precise platforming and combat against a bestiary of classic monsters, all while navigating a challenging, interconnected world.
