  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, old-school first-person shooter where you plow through huge monster hordes as a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. Inventive dual-mode weapons, arena-style fights and a demon transformation power drive the frantic action.

NecroVisioN

Fantasy setting

A brutal old-school shooter that starts in the trenches of World War I and descends into an occult hellscape of vampires, demons and zombies. Its appeal lies in mixing period firearms, melee and dark magic with a combo system, in the spirit of Painkiller but with noticeable budget roughness.

Nosgoth

Co-op or multiplayer

Nosgoth was a free-to-play multiplayer spin-off set in the Legacy of Kain universe, pitting melee-focused vampires against ranged human hunters. The asymmetric team matches mixed claws, wings and crossbows in a gothic setting.

SoulCalibur V

Fantasy setting

A weapon-based 3D fighting game where warriors fight over the legendary Soul Swords seventeen years after the previous entry. Fast, precise duels built on spacing and timing, best enjoyed in versus matches against other players.

Eternal Champions

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 1993 Sega fighting game pitting warriors from different eras against each other. It stands out with reflectable projectiles, force fields and an unusually strong story focus for the genre.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Co-op or multiplayer

A classic WWII shooter where B.J. Blazkowicz battles Nazi occultists, undead, and super-soldier experiments across gloomy castles and labs. It also shipped with an influential class-based, objective-driven team multiplayer mode.

Quake

Dark, serious atmosphere

id Software's landmark shooter sends you through grim, gothic Lovecraftian mazes full of monsters, with lightning-fast movement, frantic gunplay and a brooding industrial soundscape by Trent Reznor. Its multiplayer also made history.

Sengoku 2

Fantasy setting

A classic arcade beat 'em up in which a warrior from the future fights hordes of undead soldiers and a supernaturally empowered ruler in feudal Japan. Fast-paced brawling with a mystical Sengoku-era flavor.

BloodRayne: Betrayal

Challenging difficulty

A brutal 2D hack-and-slash platformer with detailed HD sprites, gory combat and a steep difficulty curve. You play the dhampir Rayne, carving through a gothic world with precise melee and jumping challenges.
