Looking for certain types of PC games

Post by wclem »

I am playing the game I got on a Steam sale recently called Dust... Uh forgot the rest LOL. Anyway it is a side scroller with beat em up and rpg elements. Loving it greatly. The side scrolling and RPG mix is cool to me.

So, I would like to tap you all for suggestions for good side scrollers on Steam (preferably those Desura is cool to). My only demand is controller support, it is so much easier on my hands than a keyboard.

So far I have discovered Limbo and this game. I humbly await the sharing of your knowledge.

Rogue Legacy is pretty great if you haven't tried it.

Trine and Trine 2 are great with one other player. 2 fixes alot of issues the first one had.
