King's Field

Lots to discover

An early real-time first-person dungeon crawler widely seen as a forerunner of the Souls games. Slow, deliberate combat, a cryptic world and a lonely atmosphere make for a grim, unforgiving journey of discovery.

Spark in the Dark

Strong character progression

A hardcore dungeon crawler where you descend ever deeper into a grim, mysterious dungeon. The mood is oppressive and the challenge steep.

Barony

Challenging difficulty

A first-person roguelike dungeon crawler inspired by Nethack and Ultima Underworld, with randomized dungeons, many classes and items, punishing difficulty, and especially fun co-op play with friends.

Blade of Darkness

Challenging difficulty

A punishing fantasy action game with weighty, combo-based melee combat and four playable heroes, often seen as an early forerunner of Soulslike games. You carve a gory path through grim levels to stop the forces of Chaos.

The Summoning

Strong character progression

A 1992 isometric fantasy dungeon crawler with hand-designed levels, a spellcasting system based on hand gestures, and magical runes that grant abilities and items.

Hexen II

Lots to discover

A dark fantasy first-person shooter built on the Quake engine, with four character classes, light RPG leveling and hub-based worlds full of puzzles, keys and backtracking.

Devil Spire

Challenging difficulty

A punishing first-person dungeon crawler with a retro pseudo-3D look, roguelite structure and dark fantasy mood, echoing King's Field and Heretic. Built by a tiny team, it focuses on tough combat and exploration.

Revenant

Strong character progression

A 1999 action RPG in which you play Locke, a resurrected warrior who fights monsters, collects magic and explores dark catacombs to rescue a warlord's kidnapped daughter. Combat is real-time from an isometric view with manually executed attack combos.

Diablo

Strong character progression

The genre-defining hack-and-slash: you descend floor by floor through randomized catacombs beneath Tristram all the way into Hell, chasing ever-better loot. Its oppressive gothic atmosphere and iconic soundtrack remain legendary.
