Hi everyone! Yesterday I was checking the demo of Acrolyte, a pixel art metroidvania. The think I liked the most was the controls scheme, it was like the old game Abuse, keyboard for movement and mouse for aiming. So my question is, do you know any other modern (or not as modern) games that are similar? As in side scroller where you aim with the mouse. Doesn’t matter if it is 2D, 2.5D or pixel art.

Cheers!

    I know of some flash/browser games if you’re okay with them and know how to safely play them but otherwise, I know I’ve definitely played a lot of games like this but I’m struggling to remember them.

    I haven’t played the steam version yet but I know that The Last Stand: Union City is pretty good. It was released on Steam in the Legacy Collection It plays almost like a 2D version of Fallout 3/NV but in a modern setting. I’ve personally been looking for more games like this but I have yet to find any.

    I know it might not be what you are looking for but I know that Terraria plays like this. It starts with melee weapons but you can get ranged weapons and there is a lot of them.

    If you are okay with top-down shooters, I’m also aware of a game called Empty Clip.

    I’m also aware of some adult games but I don’t know if I can post those here.
