Brings what grabs you about Nightmare Creatures II: dread and tension, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as a dark atmosphere.

Melee combat with weapons or fists

NecroVisioN

Dread and tension

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.

Dante's Inferno

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal hack-and-slash descent through the nine circles of Hell inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, wielding Death's scythe and a holy cross against grotesque demons. Punishing or absolving damned souls shapes your unholy or holy upgrade path.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Fantasy setting

Capcom's revival of Onimusha sends a samurai wielding the Oni Gauntlet through a demon-infested Edo-era Kyoto. Its core is weighty, precise swordplay built around timing-based counters and gory, cinematic presentation.

Splatterhouse

Dread and tension
