At the tier, gamers unlock the complete bundle, which includes all previously mentioned titles, as well as Grime, a game inspired by the Dark Souls series, the fast-paced action platformer Berserk Boy—which leans more towards the style of Mega Man X than traditional Metroidvania—and BioGun, a vibrant 2024 release that channels the aesthetics of Hollow Knight while drawing gameplay inspiration from classic 2D shooters.
