  • Lavish presentation
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Fantasy setting

A blistering stylish-action showcase where three wildly different demon hunters chain combos and weapon swaps to chase the highest style rank. Over-the-top cutscenes, a pumping soundtrack and deep mechanical mastery make it a genre benchmark.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Challenging difficulty

A blistering hack-and-slash where young Dante juggles swappable fighting styles, weapons and guns, and the game rewards you for fighting with flair. It is famously punishing, with legendary boss duels like the fights against Vergil and a heavy metal soundtrack.

Bayonetta

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A supremely stylish character action game where the witch Bayonetta battles hordes of angels using Witch Time, precise dodges and absurdly over-the-top finishers. Deep combo mechanics, colossal bosses and plenty of tongue-in-cheek charm.

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.

Bayonetta 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A blistering character action game where Bayonetta battles angels and demons using Witch Time dodges, wild combos and summoned demons. Absurdly over-the-top spectacle backed by an extremely precise and deep combat system.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Action-packed real-time combat

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.

The First Berserker: Khazan

Challenging difficulty

A punishing soulslike set in the Dungeon & Fighter universe, where the betrayed general Khazan seeks revenge through weighty, precise melee combat and brutal boss duels. Its striking cel-shaded look and aggressive parry-and-stamina system set it apart.

Bayonetta 3

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, flamboyant hack-and-slash where witch Bayonetta chains stylish combos using Witch Time and huge demon summons. Over-the-top presentation, a multiverse plot and precise dodging define the experience.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Fantasy setting

A fast action RPG spin-off in the Final Fantasy universe with Soulslike influences: as Jack you fight through a grim reimagining of the original Final Fantasy using a deep job system, parry-based combat and optional co-op. Its melodramatic story is memorable and often enjoyed ironically.
