Wraithslayer could be an interesting one, a back to basics 2D action boss battler that's releasing soon.
Wraithslayer takes place in an abstract horror world where the player is bound to a single fight against a monstrosity known as a Wraith. Dodging the Wraith's relentless attacks while collecting orbs to weaken your foe will provide a nightmarish and challenging battle.
Developed by Devin Cole, with some art and design work from Sean Young it sounds like a fun game. No lengthy story to go through, just all out war against a boss that changes each time.
