Exanima

2015 PC 13.99 € 👍 82 % Very positive, 12,346 reviews on Steam

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Exanima is an unforgiving isometric dungeon-crawling RPG built on a realistic physics simulation where weight, momentum and positioning decide every fight. Combat is slow, risky and demands careful, deliberate play.

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.

Mortal Shell

Challenging difficulty

A compact soulslike where you possess fallen warriors as "shells", each with its own abilities. The Harden mechanic lets you briefly turn to stone to absorb hits, making combat tense and tactical in a bleak, decaying world.

Eldest Souls

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A dark pixel-art boss-rush soulslike where a lone knight takes on fallen gods one after another. It's all about precise dodging, learning attack patterns and experimenting with abilities.

Dragon Is Dead

Fantasy setting

A hack-and-slash roguelite action platformer where each death makes you stronger for the next run. Skill trees and legendary gear offer plenty of customization on the path to confronting the dragon leader Guernian.

Severance: Blade of Darkness

Challenging difficulty

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.

Darksiders III

Challenging difficulty

As Fury you hunt the Seven Deadly Sins across an interconnected, apocalyptic world. Combat with whip, dodging and magic feels Souls-inspired and rewards precise timing.

False Hero

Challenging difficulty

A fast-paced soulslike where you steal enemy attacks and chain them into your own combos. You explore a corrupted land of the gods and face demanding boss fights.

Dungeon Souls

Action-packed real-time combat

A pixel-art action roguelike dungeon crawler with procedurally generated dungeons, loot and hordes of tough enemies. Inspired by Nuclear Throne and Risk of Rain, it focuses on fast combat and replayable runs.

Sulfur

Challenging difficulty

A retro-flavored first-person shooter with roguelike elements: you push through procedurally built levels, collect loot, upgrade weapons and use special powers. A grim mood and the search for answers pull you ever deeper.
