Adventure games make up their largest category with 41 titles. They also handle a significant volume of Role-playing games with 30 entries and Hack and slash or Beat 'em up games with another 30.

PlayStation 4 is their most common home with 36 releases. PC follows with 26 versions. They have also supported Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch systems.
