Two of the more familiar names in this batch, Streets of Rage 4 and Bendy and the Ink Machine, are also among its cheapest right now. Seven paid games in all, and nothing here tops $2.99.

Children of Morta

Children of Morta hands you a whole family instead of a single hero, and each Bergson fights differently. The runs play out in procedurally generated dungeons, and the upgrades you earn carry over between them, so a bad run still pushes the story forward.

Skul: The Hero Slayer

Skul is a lone skeleton out to rescue the captured Demon King after human armies storm his castle. The twist is his own skull: pop a new head on and the whole moveset changes with it, and with around a hundred to collect, the item pickups stack into some absurd builds.

Streets of Rage 4

Streets of Rage 4 revived a beat-em-up series that had been dormant since the 1990s, and it came back with hand-drawn animation and enough combo depth to reward learning the systems. It's the pick of the batch for iPhoners who want a proper co-op brawler on a phone.

Rush Rally Origins

Rush Rally Origins keeps the rallying top-down, with 36 stages where you set the weather and time of day across snow, gravel, mud, and tarmac. We gave it a full review, the lone racer in this set.

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Bendy and the Ink Machine drops you into a 1930s cartoon studio gone sour, playing a retired animator who accepts one very bad invitation back. It blends first-person horror with puzzles and stealth, all of it drawn like a scratchy black-and-white cartoon.

Out There: Ω Edition

Out There strands you as an astronaut who wakes from cryosleep in the wrong corner of the galaxy, rationing oxygen and fuel across a branching, text-driven run. The developer's own listing warns that it's hard, and it means it. Two playthroughs rarely unfold the same way.

The Tiny Bang Story

The Tiny Bang Story is a hand-painted puzzle adventure with no text at all: a meteor wrecks Tiny Planet, and you rebuild it by finding hidden parts and repairing machines across five chapters. The calmest thing in the set, and a good one to hand a kid.
