NecroVisioN

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Sengoku 2

Challenging difficulty

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.

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors

Fantasy setting

A classic Capcom 2D fighter where you battle as a vampire, werewolf, mummy and other monsters using special moves and combos. Its exaggerated, fluidly animated cartoon-style monsters give it its distinctive charm.

Nosgoth

Fantasy setting

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

Challenging difficulty

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.

Bloody Roar

Action-packed real-time combat

A 1990s 3D fighting game where combatants can transform into powerful beasts mid-fight. The transformation boosts strength and speed, giving the duels a distinctive, aggressive flavor.

SoulCalibur

Action-packed real-time combat

A landmark 3D weapon-based fighter with fluid, fast duels, sidestepping movement and a varied roster. Great for local versus matches and arcade runs.

Primal Rage

Challenging difficulty

A brutal one-on-one fighter where giant dinosaurs and apes battle as gods in a post-apocalyptic Earth. Its digitized stop-motion look and gory finishing moves give it a distinct identity.
