Blade of Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A punishing fantasy action game with weighty, combo-based melee combat and four playable heroes, often seen as an early forerunner of Soulslike games. You carve a gory path through grim levels to stop the forces of Chaos.

Severance: Blade of Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal third-person swordfighting game where you play a Knight, Barbarian, Dwarf or Amazon and carve through enemies with heavy combos and gory, weighty combat on the hunt for a Necromancer. Its demanding, physical combat and grim dark-fantasy mood made it a cult classic.

Slain: Back from Hell

Fantasy setting

A heavy-metal-flavored pixel-art action platformer where an undead warrior hacks through gory fantasy levels to a thundering metal soundtrack. The relaunch reworked the combat after a rough original release.

One Strike

Historical setting

One Strike is a fast duel fighter inspired by Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, where every fight is win-or-die. Precise timing decides whether you survive and build your reputation as a legend.

The Vale: Shadow of the Crown

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You play a blind warrior who fights almost entirely by sound, using enemy breathing, footsteps and weapon clashes to read the fight. An unusual audio-driven action adventure that makes medieval combat something you hear rather than see.

Grimlord

Fantasy setting

Grimlord is a dark fantasy action RPG made for VR, where you fight with your own body movement using customizable weapons and armor. The focus is on physical melee combat and gear personalization.

Unsouled

Strong character progression

An atmospheric 2D pixel-art action RPG with fast, stylish combat. A haunting fantasy world and a mysterious power used for deadly ends drive the story.
