“Not the best looking shoot 'em up but it's very solid/fun gameplay wise. Each character has its own mechanics and there's a lot of things to unlock. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Good game. Yes, there's some input lag. I don't think it's unplayable though. Good thing you can get the game by other means and play it in an emulator if you think it is. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Another excellent game from Mindware that plays very differently compared to the 1st episode. Tons of ways to score and 4 different modes + a PC-8001 version of the 1st game. Works perfectly on Deck.”

“Fun little collection of minigames if you miss Track and Field and other sports games of this kind. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“I had fun with it and it's better than the original in my opinion but there's also a pretty good amount of bugs/glitches which will probably never be fixed. Works great on the Deck though.”

“Great mix of Pong and Shmup that's obviously more enjoyable against another player. Works great on the Deck but don't look at the leaderboards; it makes the game crash.”

“Fun Shmup with lots of content and ships that all play pretty differently. Works perfectly on the Deck after changing some display options in the game settings.”

“Pretty fun run and gun with some heavy Metal Slug influences. Works perfectly on the deck. Diagonals are not working by default but the only community layout available fixes that.”

“Pretty fun arcade game with some beautiful pixel art. You have to wonder why people giving negative reviews for the short length etc... even got the game in the first place.”

“Another great shmup form Toaplan. Also includes the original japanese version V・V which has a Gradius-like power up system and no bombs. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Cool remake of an old arcade prototype. Works perfectly out of the box despite being marked as unsupported and some old comments from protondb talking about white textures and launch options.”

“Great Robotron clone that's perfect for short sessions on the Deck.”

“Another excellent arcadey puzzle-game from Mindware that fits the Deck perfectly. Didn't think much of it at first but once it clicked...it's great.”

“Pretty fun and challenging single-screen platformer. Would have been cool to have some options and a pause menu with the ability to quickly restart a game. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Good sequel to Gigantic Army but less challenging in my opinion. Works perfectly on the Deck like all Astro Port games outside of Armed Seven (which is verified but has some crazy graphical glitches).”

“Great old school arena FPS where all weapons are grenades. Some fun game modes to play in splitscreen. Singleplayer against bots is fun too. Works great on the Deck.”

“Not a very good shmup. Normal is too easy and Veteran has bullshit like enemy bullets being hidden by your shots etc.. but it works perfectly on the Deck and normal difficulty can be relaxing I guess.”

“If you like the Bishi Bashi series ( or Track and Field), you should enjoy this Korean clone. This kind of game is obviously much more fun against a human than against that cheating computer.”

“Fun old school shoot 'em up that works perfectly out of the box. Better than Zenohell in my opinion and a little less challenging.”

“The last game in the Zeno trilogy and this time it alternates between shmup and top down run and gun (which are kind of similar to the ones in Contra 3) stages. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Good puzzle-platformer with lots of stages and some cool mechanics. Download the delRhode's controller config and use the touchscreen when needed. Works great.”

“Far from the best Toaplan shmup but still a pretty fun game with a cool charge shot and bomb. Works perfectly on the deck.”

“Good horizontal shoot 'em up with a bullet time mechanic from the people who made Space Moth. Pretty challenging in my opinion. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Great Golden Axe-inspired Beat Them Up. It has some great pixel art but also some of the goofiest music I've ever heard. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Another great modern single-screen platformer.”

“Great puzzle-game/point and click that works perfectly on the Deck. Kind of short.”

“That's how you remaster a game (it would have been even better if they included the original version since the passage from 4:3 to 16:9 changes the game in many ways).”

“Another fun fighting game that plays and looks great on the Deck. Kind of similar to Nitroplus Blasterz from the same developper.”

“Great Beat'em Up that came out at the wrong time (1 day after Shredder's Revenge). I'd suggest checking the manual out to see the whole moveset for each characters.”

“It's a cool game but you can 1CC the first loop by just finding some safe spot on every levels and stay there the whole time (which is kind of bad). Still enjoyable for some reason.”

“Classic SNES plarformer with unique mechanics. Pretty challenging.”

“Classic that fits the Deck perfectly.”

“Pretty Shmup from Astroport that's very easy to 1CC in normal considering all the hits you can take with its combining robot mechanic. It's short enough for quick sessions. Great for some casual fun.”

“Great Picross-like that fits the Deck perfectly for short sessions. There's a lot of content and it also has workshop support.”

“One of the most unique Shoot Them Ups ever created with its 360° background spinning mechanic that lets you avoid or align bullets to cancel them. Fantastic game that runs perfectly on the Deck.”

“Classic from SNK that still looks and sounds great.”

“Great homage to Ghosts 'n Goblins/Ghouls 'n Ghosts. It's much easier than the games from Capcom in my opinion.”

“Amazing racing game that feels less arcadey than most of the isometric racers out there. Looks great on the Deck.”

“If you like Lode Runner, you should get this. Lots of content with user created levels. Perfect game for short sessions. I had 1 crash when starting a level the first time but not after.”

“Classic that works well. Better download some controller configuration though. And I guess it's better using some sourceport but I haven't tried any.”

“Great fast-paced shooter. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“A very fun shmup with great presentation & really good OST. Has a cool advanced mode that adds a powerup system to the game. Supports tate.”

“Pretty good shoot'em up from Astroport.”

“Another grreat Shoot Them Up that works perfectly on the Deck. Just need to reconfigure the controls in the game options and you're good to go.”

“Great short and tight twin-stick shooter/beat'em up with a cool artstyle.”

“Cool shmup with lots of unlockables to make your ship(s) overpowered in the vein of Tyrian and a Gradius-like power-up system. If the game gets locked at 30FPS, changing the graphics quality fixes it.”

“It's like a 2D Tenchu. Tons of items & many skills to unlock. Levels are randomly generated. Great game if you miss Tenchu & like action platformers.”

“Cool collection packed with games. The ones that were originally made for rotary sticks/spinners controls can be buggy with directions getting stuck (nothing to do with the Deck though).”

“Great homage to Rolling Thunder that works great on the Deck. Quite hard. I don't think there's any difference between the free version and the other one (which is very cheap anyway).”

“Pretty good survival horror that works well on the Deck.”

“Fun mix of Breakout and horizontal Shoot Them Up (it's totally more of a brick breaking game than a Shmup though). Cool for some quick sessions on the Deck.”

“Another great entry point for Shmup novices. The level structure makes it great for short sessions...Just like its "sequel" Natsuki Chronicles. Works & looks great on the Deck despi ”

“Charming puzzle-game with a campaign mode with various objectives, a score attack mode & a versus mode.”

“Pretty fun run & gun that looks good. Would be better if there was an arcade mode with lives/credits + some scoring mechanics instead of a freaking timer though.”

“One of my favorites + Ghoul Patrol. Not sure why it's unsupported, it works perfectly out of the box. Local multiplayer works too.”

“Cute & fun autoscrolling beat them up with some twin-stick shooting mechanics. Tons of weapons to unlock & varied enemies. It's good for short sessions and works perfectly.”

“Freaking awesome action-platformer with excellent gameplay. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Well, it's 14 Pac-Man games in 1 package. Some games aren't that good but there's also some great stuff in it and it works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Great racing game that works perfectly on the Deck. Not sure why they didn't go with the Fully Loaded version though.”

“Great little fighting game with very simple mechanics that will teach you the fundamentals of the genre. Fun singleplayer arcade mode. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty cool take on Castlevania with some challenging bosses. Wish we would see more doujin games from the 90's and 2000's getting rereleases on Steam. Works perfectly on the deck.”

“Excellent 2vs2 fighting game for up to 4 players that looks gorgeous on the deck. Doubt the roster will expand since the game seems to have bombed but what's there is good enough already.”

“Well...It's Xeno Crisis and it works perfectly on the Deck. Good pixel art and good gameplay but pretty tough. There are some old school cheat codes for infinite lives, ammo... and hidden modes.”

“Pretty good sequel and a good choice if you're looking for a challenging megaman-like. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Cool selection of games eventhough the original arcade versions would have been better than those NES ports. Wanpaku Graffiti and Pac Man Championship are cool inclusions though.”

“An excellent remaster (I would rather call that a remake at this point) from Tengo Project of The Ninja Warriors Again on SNES (which would have been cool to see included here). Works perfectly.”

“Another cool fighting game wit 1-hit kills and simple controls. It has a short story mode and some other singleplayer content. The roster is pretty small. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“A great puzzle-platformer, just like the 1st game. It works perfectly out of the box on the Deck.”

“There were beat them up with better gameplay even when it came out but it's still pretty fun in my opinion. It being linear unlike the other games in the series is a + in my book. Works perfectly.”

“Fun roguelike action platformer with simple but pretty satisfying combat mechanics. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Very cool collection that works perfectly out of the box. No problem with the videos.”

“Didn't work last time I tried but it's finally playable. Great metroidvania that's divided in multiple stages that you can revisit when you want to. Grab a community layout and you're good to go.”

“Good Windjammers clone that works great on the Deck. Only buy it if you plan on playing locally or using remote play together because the real online is dead and there's no much to do in singleplayer.”

“The first Shiren is the first roguelike I ever tried & made me love the genre. This one may be the best in the series. It has a shit ton of content.”

“Only recommended if you got some nostalgia for the original or if you can put up with janky hitboxes and slippery controls. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“A great love letter to Contra. If you like Run and Guns, you should totally give it a shot.”

“Excellent Roguelike that's challenging as hell.”

“Awesome isometric Twin-Stick Shooter that I haven't played since it was called I, Dracula Genesis. Still great with some of the best pixel art around. Works perfeclty on the Deck. ”

“Awesome concept that's executed perfectly. Obviously more fun against other humans. I'm kind of surprised by how readable it is even on that little screen (well....not really with 8 players though).”

“Pretty fun and unique mix of action and strategy that works perfectly out of the box on the Deck.”

“Pretty fun run and gun despite the bland level design compared to any good contra or metal slug and some visibility issues when too many things happen on screen. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“A very cool unjustly ignored Dungeon-Crawler from Falcom. I'd suggest downloading a controller configuration if you don't wanna waste time on that (the one from Garr works pretty well for me).”

“Cool puzzle-platformer that's pretty easy and short.”

“Great metroidvania with multiple characters you can switch between. Can get kind of frustrating with the backtracking before you un lock some upgrades.”

“Awesome homage to Starfox and Space Harrier. Excellent on the Deck.”

“Many people seem to dislike this one. It's a pretty competent old-school beat'em up in my opinion and it works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Excellent Beat Them Up that works perfectly out of the box.”

“Fun sequel to a classic. Would be cool to have access to the original in some way...well I guess there's MAME and Fightcade for that. Chose OpenGL before the game starts or you'll get a black screen.”

“Pretty cool collection of games even if a lot of them feel like bootlegs and the first hours can get kind of tedious. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Great pinball game and spiritual successor to Devil's Crush. Why is there no hotseat mode though?”

“Cool collection of NES games from Capcom with some classics included. There's some small black bars up & down which may bother some people but outside that it works perfectly.”

“Pretty cool Space Harrier clone. Would be cool to see more games in this genre coming out.”

“Classic that works perfectly out of the box and it's free.”

“Pretty fun platform fighter with lifebars for up to 8 players in local/remote play together (only 1vs1 online). Works out of the box.”
