CLUSTER ACTION-ENEMIES-GAME · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-04-22

Arcade cover-shooting action games

This cluster consists of arcade-style shooting games that cast players as soldiers or vehicle-bound heroes, with core loops of blasting enemies, rescuing hostages, upgrading guns, and progressing through action levels. Dated entries are sparse and irregular, appearing six times between November 2011 and May 2023 with multi-year gaps, showing no consistent pattern. Traction is uniformly weak, with all three listed members (EchoVault, missao-resgate, Major Mayhem 2: Action Hero) sitting at zero stars, so none stands out as a leader.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
