Severance: Blade of Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal third-person swordfighting game where you play a Knight, Barbarian, Dwarf or Amazon and carve through enemies with heavy combos and gory, weighty combat on the hunt for a Necromancer. Its demanding, physical combat and grim dark-fantasy mood made it a cult classic.

Chaos Legion

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Zeno Clash

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A surreal first-person brawler set in the bizarre punk-fantasy world of Zenozoik, where outcast Ghat fights mostly with fists rather than guns. A short, uncompromisingly weird journey with a truly unique look.
