Necropolis

Fantasy setting

A third-person action roguelike with procedurally generated dungeons where stamina-based dodging, blocking and careful melee combat keep you on edge. Its bold low-poly look and the sarcastic Brazen Head give it a distinct personality, and it can be played in co-op.

Unexplored

Strong character progression

A roguelite action RPG built around a smart dungeon generator, where melee combat, puzzles, traps and stealth all intertwine. Every run brings new layouts and tough choices about gear and risk.

Odallus: The Dark Call

Action-packed real-time combat

A dark retro Metroidvania with an 8-bit look that recalls Castlevania and Ghosts'n Goblins. Tough platforming action meets interconnected levels full of secrets and upgrades.

Garshasp: The Monster Slayer

Pure single-player experience

A hack-and-slash adventure rooted in Persian mythology: as the hero Garshasp you battle Deevs and monsters with melee weapons, traverse platforming sections and solve light puzzles. The uncommon mythological setting is its main draw.

Painkiller

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast, old-school first-person shooter where you plow through huge monster hordes as a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. Inventive dual-mode weapons, arena-style fights and a demon transformation power drive the frantic action.

DmC: Devil May Cry

Action-packed real-time combat

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.

Aeterna Noctis

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D Metroidvania where you play the King of Darkness across 16 interconnected areas. Precision platforming and fast combat demand sharp reflexes and patience.

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition

Strong character progression

Play as Death, one of the Four Horsemen, fighting through sprawling dungeons full of puzzles and fluid hack-and-slash combat to clear your brother's name. Loot and skill trees drive strong progression, and the comic-book style gives the world its own identity.

Rogue Legacy

Strong character progression

A tough 2D platformer where every death passes the sword to an heir with random, often silly traits like colorblindness or gigantism, who then storms the shifting castle again. Gold you collect upgrades the family manor for good, so each generation gets a little stronger.
