  • Strong character progression
  • Fantasy setting
  • Dark, serious atmosphere

The genre-defining hack-and-slash classic: pick one of seven classes and carve through four grim acts, hoarding randomized loot and refining skill builds. Chasing runewords and uniques remains compelling to this day, solo or online with friends.

Mistfall Hunter

Challenging difficulty

A dark fantasy action RPG built around extraction gameplay: you fight monsters and rival players solo or with a team, and only a successful escape lets you keep your loot. Classes, combos and skills add variety.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

A co-op first-person slaughterfest set in the Warhammer world, where four heroes with distinct careers carve through hordes of Skaven and Chaos warriors with weighty melee combat. Loot progression and brutal higher difficulties give it lasting replay value.

Dark Souls II

Challenging difficulty

The second Souls entry sends you as a cursed undead through the decaying kingdom of Drangleic, offering punishing bosses, huge weapon and build variety, and a sprawling, branching world packed with secrets.

Diablo III

Lavish presentation

Fast-paced hack-and-slash where you carve through demon hordes with one of several classes while chasing ever-better loot. Its real draw is the endgame loop of Greater Rifts, seasons and co-op play.

Nioh 2

Challenging difficulty

Nioh 2 is a punishing samurai action RPG set in Sengoku-era Japan, where you play a half-Yokai and master stances, timing and supernatural powers. Its deep loot and build variety and fast, demanding combat make it a standout for Soulslike fans.

Elden Ring Nightreign

Challenging difficulty

A co-op roguelike spin-off of Elden Ring where a trio races across a shrinking map over three days, powering up before facing a towering Nightlord boss. Fast, intense runs with distinct hero classes replace the sprawling solo journey.

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Lavish presentation

A visually striking Diablo-style hack-and-slash with classless character building via a huge rotatable passive tree and flashy avatar transformations. Lots of loot and build freedom, though it launched in a rough state.

Last Epoch

Dark, serious atmosphere

A hack-and-slash ARPG built around deep buildcrafting, where every skill has its own tree, plus 15 mastery classes and a generous crafting system. A time-travel story across different eras frames an endless loot-driven endgame.
