Brings what grabs you about Death of a Wish: dread and tension, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as a dark atmosphere.

Thymesia

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, punishing soulslike where you play plague doctor Corvus, relying on precise parries and dodges and on the disease powers of plundered weapons. Combat rewards aggression over turtling, set in a grim, decaying kingdom.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Dread and tension

As Hector, a former servant of Dracula, you hack your way through gothic castles and lands in a 3D action adventure. Its standout feature is Devil Forgery, which lets you raise and evolve Innocent Devil companions that fight alongside you.

Bloodborne

Dread and tension

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.

Devil May Cry

Challenging difficulty

The game that founded the stylish action genre: as demon hunter Dante you chain sword slashes and gunfire into flashy combos while a style meter grades every fight. A gothic castle setting, tough bosses and punishing difficulty define the experience.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Strong, story-driven narrative

A dark gothic action-adventure where you alternate between the vampire Kain and the wraith Raziel. Brutal melee combat, environmental puzzles and a dense, layered tale of fate and vengeance define the experience.
