Renowned Taiwanese developer IGS (International Game System Co., Ltd) is set to bring its celebrated arcade legacy to PC gamers with the upcoming IGS Classic Arcade Collection, scheduled to release on Steam in 2025.
The collection, published by H2 Interactive, assembles eight influential arcade games that showcase IGS's prominence in the beat 'em up and action genres.
This release marks the first time these classics arrive on PC following their initial appearance on the Nintendo Switch in 2023.
Founded in the early 1990s, IGS has long been recognized in the global arcade community, particularly for its involvement in iconic bullet hell shooters such as DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm, and for developing the PolyGame Master arcade hardware platform, which powered the likes of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou.
Over the years, IGS has built a formidable library of action-packed titles and remains an active player in the industry.
The IGS Classic Arcade Collection offers a diverse gameplay experience encompassing six beat 'em ups, one run 'n gun shooter, and a traditional fighting game.
Enhanced for modern gaming, the collection includes new difficulty options, save and load functionality at any point, and — for the first time — online multiplayer support.
These additions aim to provide both long-time fans and newcomers with accessible and engaging ways to revisit these arcade staples.
The full lineup of included games is as follows:
- Knights of Valour: Super Heroes
- Knights of Valour Plus
- Knights of Valour 2 - Nine Dragons
- Oriental Legend
- Oriental Legend Spooky
- Martial Masters
- Demon Front
- The Gladiator
The collection debuted on the Nintendo Switch in 2023, where it received a 6 out of 10 rating from Nintendo Life.
The review praised the carefully selected titles but noted room for improvement in areas like screen filter options, audio emulation fidelity, and slowdown performance on certain games.
With the Steam release, H2 Interactive and IGS are aiming to deliver these timeless arcade experiences to a broader audience of PC players.
According to official sources, the collection will arrive on Steam in 2025, bringing with it decades of Taiwanese arcade history and innovation.
Retro game enthusiasts can wishlist the IGS Classic Arcade Collection now on Steam and look forward to reliving these classics with updated features on modern hardware.
Stay connected to IGS's legacy and prepare for the return of beat 'em up and arcade action on PC in the coming year.
