NecroVisioN

Historical 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.

Splatterhouse

Dread and tension

A classic arcade beat 'em up where you brawl through a cursed mansion as Rick, empowered by the Terror Mask. Gory horror in the vein of Friday the 13th and Evil Dead 2 meets tough, linear action.

BloodRayne: Terminal Cut

Action-packed real-time combat

As the half-vampire dhampir Rayne, you slash and shoot your way through Nazi occultists and monsters in a pulpy third-person action game. The Terminal Cut brings the 2002 cult classic to modern PCs with technical updates.

BloodRayne

Action-packed real-time combat

You play Rayne, a half-vampire agent who carves through occult Nazi forces in the 1930s with blades, guns and gory finishing moves. A straightforward, brutal action romp with a pulpy tone.

Onimusha: Warlords

Historical setting

You play the samurai Samanosuke, fighting demons through feudal Japan in a sword-focused action adventure with a strong sense of atmosphere. This HD remaster adds widescreen support and more precise analog controls to the classic combat.

Dante's Inferno

Dread and tension

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 3: Demon Siege

Historical setting

Fixed-camera action adventure where Samanosuke in 16th-century Japan and Jacques in modern Paris battle demons. Fast sword combat with counters, soul absorption to upgrade weapons, and puzzles linking both time periods.

Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade

Historical setting

A linear third-person hack-and-slash in which you play a Templar knight fighting hordes of foes and demonic forces during the Crusades. It focuses on brutal melee combat and a grim atmosphere, though it is a modest, lesser-known title.

Trench Tales

Dread and tension

A story-driven third-person action game set in a bleak alternate world between the two World Wars. You wield special powers and a customizable arsenal to fight fallen soldiers across gothic landscapes while unraveling its mysteries.
