Cocos has had great success with PC and mobile games with its 2D game engine. Now it is taking the open-source software to the third dimension with Cocos Creator 3.0.

There's a lot to love in these action-packed hack-and-slash games, delivered in charming 2D art styles and graphics.

Most 2D games can be made to look acceptable with enough work. That's not always the case for NES games that already tried to force a pseudo-3D perspective on the original hardware, though.
