2025 年に絶対にプレイすべき 23 のベスト ピクセル アート ゲーム!

Welcome back.
In 2025, pixels are no longer just squares on a 
screen. Today, they are art, nostalgia, and technology combined in a single breath. Some 
spend millions creating photorealistic worlds, while others craft indie projects out of a 
few hundred pixels and dare to experiment. This year has brought us new indie masterpieces 
that carry the spirit of the old school — yet look, sound, and play like something entirely 
new. These are the best pixel games of 2025. I want to start with Heroes of Hammer Watch 2. 
The sequel to the fast-paced hacken/rogue light, Heroes of Hammer 2 lets you and your friends 
battle through procedurally generated dungeons, slay waves of monsters, and collect legendary 
loot. Between dungeon runs, you return to your hub town to spend gold and runes on hero upgrades, 
new subasses, and rare scrolls. Thanks to the legacy system, progress sticks even after failed 
runs. Upgraded traps remain in the dungeon, and enhanced artifacts might show up in future chests. 
Challenge maps and seasonal events keep things fresh, while online co-op for up to four players 
turns every outing into a shared adventure. Void War. You could call it the spiritual 
successor to FTL, but set in a much darker and more aggressive universe. The atmosphere feels 
like it came straight out of Warhammer. Gothic ships, space marines, necromancers, zombies, and 
even skeletons aboard your vessel. Each run gives you a unique configuration of ships and new 
commanders with their own abilities. And if the commander dies, your entire ship goes down 
with them. The focus here is on combat. There’s no fuel, no one chasing you, but instead you get 
boarding mechanics and countless ways to equip your crew. Fighters storm enemy ships, wielding 
weapons and magic, and the player can even summon hordes of creatures. Enemies are varied: pirates, 
mutants, sorcerers, and every encounter feels like a miniature spectacle of chaos. Yes, the 
game clearly resembles FTL in its core systems, but it follows its own path. Bloodier, more 
aggressive, and steeped in atmosphere with heavy ambient tones and a sense of hopelessness. 
It delivers exactly what the original was missing. Artists Impact. This is a story-driven pixel JRPG 
with classic turn-based combat. You play as a keen, a young agent defending the world from 
insane AIs, accompanied by a sarcastic robot companion. Between missions, you can cook food, 
decorate your home, complete small tasks, and explore the world, not just as side activities, 
but as a full way to reveal character depth, set the pace, and immerse yourself in a world 
that’s broken yet still alive. The battle system is built on traditional turn-based mechanics. 
Simple, but guided by rhythm and designed to keep the narrative flow intact. The story 
unfolds gradually with chance encounters, hidden corners, and unexpected dialogue 
snippets becoming true gems along the way. Zaphiria. This game offers a vibrant top-down 
rogike adventure where you play as a brave rabbit exploring a mystical tower. It 
draws attention with dynamic battles, charming pixel visuals, and a wide variety of 
items that let you adapt your play style. The atmosphere feels like a blend of arcade 
action and a fantasy tale with every new floor hiding fresh challenges. A key feature 
is its unusual inventory system. Artifacts grant basic bonuses, while special 
tablets enhance neighboring items, letting you create unique combinations. 
Even in early access, Sapphira impresses with its content and replay-ability, promising 
players a long and engaging journey. [Music] Back to the Dawn. This is a dark pixel RPG. You 
find yourself either undercover as an agent or imprisoned as an exposed journalist. And inside 
this prison drama begins a true conspiracy. It’s a bleak world ruled by factions and fragile 
alliances. The setting is gritty yet captivating in its detail. Three powerful prison groups, up 
to 48 unique inmates with their own backstories, tense miniames, resource hunting, and the 
constant struggle to survive. Your alliances shape everything from inner balance to your 
chances of escape. With over 100 quests, multiple paths to freedom, and endings that shift based on 
your actions, every playthrough feels distinct. Cast and Chill, a soothing pixel fishing 
experience where atmosphere matters more than action. You quietly cast your rod from a boat, 
watching the calm of nature. At your side is a loyal dog you can pet who happily reacts to your 
touch. The game celebrates simple rituals. Cast, wait, reel in, and then silence again. The 
mechanics are straightforward. Catch fish, sell your hull, and invest in 
upgrades, rods, bait, boats, and licenses for new waters. There’s 
both an active mode and an idle mode, letting you enjoy the process in the 
background. The game offers plenty of variety with around 50 fish species, dozens of 
fishing spots, and a gentle sense of progress. The Drifter, a stylish, fast-paced point-and-click 
thriller with touches of noir and sci-fi. You play as a drifter returning home for a 
funeral, only to become the victim of murder, and suddenly awaken moments before it happens. 
From there begins a tense story of puzzles, dark secrets, and repeated deaths as if 
caught inside a time loop. Gameplay is marked by its quick rhythm and modern design, 
smooth interactions, a minimalist inventory, fully voiced dialogue, and a 
richly atmospheric visual style. Primal Planet, a heartfelt, atmospheric Metroid 
vania in pixel art where you must survive, explore, and reunite with your family. The story 
unfolds in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs, ruins, and alien mysteries. Starting as a simple 
tribesman, the hero gradually learns crafting and upgrades to unlock new areas, explore lands, 
and protect loved ones from the dangers of this ancient planet. There are no dialogues here. 
The story is told through visual detail. Ability progression from breathing underwater to creating 
fire keeps the sense of growth, while fluid movement mechanics like rolls and acrobatic 
jumps make exploration and combat engaging. Whisper of the House, a cozy pixel art simulator 
where you help the residents of a small town clean, organize, and decorate their homes. This 
cozy, organizing game is filled with a sense of calm. Beautiful locations, a soft color palette, 
and tons of interactive details turn cleaning into a meditative experience. You’ll move furniture, 
decorate rooms, and uncover little stories about each resident. From surprises in the storage 
room to secrets hidden behind crooked walls. The game even features time travel elements, 
cleaning the past can change the present. Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer. The sequel to the cult 
classic ’90s noir point-and-click detective game where a private investigator takes on a chilling 
case involving a serial killer known as the Soothsayer. The pixel art brings a gripping 
interactive story to life filled with cleverly designed puzzles that will tear you apart as you 
examine evidence and connect isolated events into a larger picture. This second chapter features 
rich storytelling and cinematic cutscenes enhanced by professional voice acting. Sharp dialogue, deep 
emotions, and well-developed character connections create a tense atmosphere where the investigation 
unfolds in dramatic and captivating ways. Undermine 2 continues the legacy of the 
original roglike adventure, taking you into the procedurally generated underground realm of 
Delmore. You start as a humble peasant and rise to hero status by exploring treasure vaults, battling 
monsters, and uncovering ancient relics. By day, you dig, gather gold and resources. By night, you 
fight off realtime waves of dark creatures. A new co-op mode lets two players team up. The game 
retains the best parts of the original trading, hub building, and run-to-run progression, and 
adds fresh characters, powers, and expanded lore. Tinkerlands, a colorful top-own survival adventure 
where you and up to three friends are stranded on mysterious islands. At its core, it’s a classic 
survival game. You build a settlement, craft tools, grow food, and practice magic alongside 
combat and exploration. The charming pixel art features diverse biomes and cozy furniture items. 
With online co-op, an intuitive interface, and well- balanced crafting, the game is welcoming for 
both newcomers and seasoned adventurers. Despite being in early access, it’s already earned praise 
for its blend of survival, building, and magic. Minds Beneath Us, an atmospheric sci-fi adventure 
set in a neon-drenched cyberpunk mega city where you play as an advanced AI living inside the 
body of an ordinary man. The game blurs the line between human and machine, raising philosophical 
questions about consciousness, corporate control, and moral choice. Dialogue takes center stage. 
You listen to Jason’s thoughts and decide whether he’ll remain human or become a corporate tool. 
Gameplay combines point-and-click exploration, visual novel storytelling, and QTE. You 
explore the streets, talk to citizens, trigger timed actions in key scenes, and 
gradually uncover the secrets of the city. Neon Abyss 2. The Neon Chaos returns in full 
multiplayer format. This fast-paced runand gun rogike shooter now supports online co-op for 
up to four players with an expanded arsenal and limitless item synergies. New systems 
include Faith, which shapes your build, soul weapons for deep customization, and the fate 
system for gameplay variety. You can also collect and level up cute Hatchmon pets. These features 
drastically expand tactical possibilities, making each run feel more dynamic, 
strategic, and uniquely your own. Grimshere, a strange and unsettling farming 
sim with horror undertones where you manage agriculture in a plageridden village. 
You’ll grow crops, care for animals, preserve supplies, and work alongside the quirky 
anthropomorphic locals to save the community. Explore the surrounding countryside, 
fish, gather resources, and engage in light JRPG style dungeon battles. Your 
role isn’t just to survive. You’re a friend, a caretaker, and a lifeline for a town 
trying to recover from devastation. Dotown. This is a post-apocalyptic 
farming simulator. The game takes place in a community that emerged after a global 
catastrophe where residents live in trailers and shipping containers. Your task is to grow 
crops and provide food for all the inhabitants. Prepared food is delivered using a drone while 
other residents contribute by cooking, fishing, and building infrastructure. The game offers 
the opportunity to explore the surroundings, upgrade your farm, and interact with 
neighbors to learn their stories. Yes, your grace too snowfall, a continuation 
of the unique kingdom management simulator inspired by Slavic folklore. Once again, 
the player takes on the role of King Eric, who must make difficult decisions, manage 
resources, and ensure the well-being of his people amid a harsh winter and political intrigue. 
The game features improved management mechanics. You can now hire agents with unique 
skills, send them on various missions, and respond to petitions from your 
subjects, each decision affecting the course of the story. Despite some technical 
shortcomings and limited narrative branching, the game offers a compelling experience for fans 
of strategy and role- playinging games. [Music] Elabby. This is a cozy pixel art 
simulator where you manage a medieval monastery specializing in brewing beer. 
You’ll develop the abbey, hire monks, and create your own unique recipes by 
experimenting with ingredients. Each beer you produce is a creative endeavor that 
affects demand, profit, and the monastery’s reputation. The production process requires 
balancing the economy, the monk’s morale, and the quality of the beverages. At the same 
time, you’ll trade with neighbors, deal with unpredictable events like inspector visits or poor 
harvests, and expand the monastery’s facilities. Hike: Northern Light. This magical pixel 
art action RPG follows Hike, a young witch, traveling across a war torn world in search of her 
mother and the truth behind the forbidden zones. The world has been shattered by conflict 
between humans and witches, and only fragments remain. Expect dynamic top-own combat mixed with 
peaceful campfire moments. Fight magical beasts, collect gear, cook meals for stat boosts, and 
explore dangerous lands. Play as one of seven unique heroins, each with her own fighting 
style, progression path, and abilities. Ethermancer. In this world, everything revolves 
around monsters. Not just fighting them, but forging bonds with them. You are an 
Emancer gifted with the power to control the souls of creatures trapped in an endless 
cycle of death and rebirth. Your goal is to build a unique team of three monsters, develop 
their abilities, find synergies, and battle in strategic turn-based combat. The battle system 
is centered on four elemental types of ether, influencing not just spell strength, but 
your overall tactics. Cleanse enemy ether, poison it, shield your allies, or unleash 
elemental destruction. It’s not about grinding, but about thoughtful choices. When a 
monster dies in battle, it’s gone for good. The Rewinder 2, the follow-up to the 
atmospheric point-and-click adventure rooted in Chinese mythology, once again 
puts you in the role of a spirit able to travel through memories and alter the fates of 
the dead. This time, a new time flow mechanic lets you see how events shift in real time with 
every intervention. Find key turning points and make precise choices to restore harmony 
and uncover deep emotional narratives. [Music] Every year, pixel games prove 
one thing. Technology may age, but style and ideas never do. They have 
something that big budget titles often lose. Warmth, sincerity, and the feeling 
that everything here was made with love, not for hype. The Image Game channel 
was with you. Have a nice day. Think you got away somehow. Did 
you get away somehow? Somehow. Somehow. Somehow. Somehow. Somehow. 
Somehow. Somehow. Somehow. somehow some
