Death's Gambit

Strong character progression

A punishing 2D Soulslike action RPG in Metroidvania clothing: you serve Death, battle towering bosses in a grim world, and build your character through classes and abilities.

Shadow Labyrinth

Sci-fi setting

A dark 2D Metroidvania spin-off in the PAC-MAN universe: as the Swordsman you explore an alien planet, devour enemies and grow into an apex predator. It blends fast sword combat with platforming and exploration.

Blasphemous II

Action-packed real-time combat

A grim pixel-art Metroidvania where the Penitent One wields three distinct weapons through a world steeped in religious horror. Precise duels, tough bosses and plenty of secrets make exploring rewarding.

Timespinner

Sci-fi setting

A 2D Metroidvania in the vein of Symphony of the Night where you play a time traveler hopping between past and future to topple an empire. Smooth pixel-art action, plenty of exploration and a blend of fantasy and science fiction.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Strong character progression

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.

Devil May Cry 2

Action-packed real-time combat

The divisive second entry leans on gunplay and spectacle over the series' trademark combo depth. It offers two playable campaigns with Dante and Lucia and an amulet system for customizing Devil Trigger, but it's far easier and less stylish than the rest of the series.
