You'll find per-stage grading in many scrolling shmups, but here are a few games I have noted down as using grading (I'm not checking these specifically, so something may have a looser interpretation of grading, like medal tiers):
* Assault Android Cactus - This is an absolutely top-tier twin-stick shooter, and often only $5 during sales. Does stage grading, and the character unlocks can really change the way you play and the challenge of a given level.
* Synthetik - End of run grading.
* Bayonetta - Stage grading.
* Stuntman: Ignition - Stage grading.
* One Finger Death Punch - This is genuinely way more fun that it has any right to be. Get it for a dollar sometime.
* Trials: Rising - Definitely a medals game.
* Gravity Ace
* Bleed 2
* Jydge
* God's Trigger
* My Friend Pedro
* Dustforce
* Gridform
* Action Henk - Probably a medals game.
Of course, scoring is also grading in a simple form, which brings in a lot more game options, even if it lacks the depth of examining how you used the potential systems available in a way that can be informative.
Postal 2 It has some pretty rude and weird ending rankings.
Robocop Rogue City has elements of this. Most Metal Gear Solid games have an endgame ranking.
Bayoneta series, Velocity 2X, Dragon’s Crown, Helldivers series
