A fast-paced soulslike where you steal enemy attacks and chain them into your own combos. You explore a corrupted land of the gods and face demanding boss fights.

Mortal Shell

Dark, serious atmosphere

A compact soulslike where you possess fallen warriors as "shells", each with its own abilities. The Harden mechanic lets you briefly turn to stone to absorb hits, making combat tense and tactical in a bleak, decaying world.

Valor Mortis

Lavish presentation

A first-person soulslike from the Ghostrunner team that casts you as a resurrected soldier of Napoleon's army. You fight horrifying monsters with blades, firearms and supernatural powers, in tense parry-driven combat set in a grim, twisted version of the Napoleonic era.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

A demanding soulslike set in a grim take on the late Ming Dynasty, where a mysterious plague twists people into monsters. Flexible weapon builds, precise parrying and a madness mechanic that trades risk for power define its combat.

Bloodborne

Lavish presentation

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.

Mortal Shell II

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim soulslike where you possess the bodies of fallen warriors and use them in fast, punishing fights against false gods. The sequel offers a more open, ruined world with horror undertones.

Thymesia

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, punishing soulslike where you play plague doctor Corvus, relying on precise parries and dodges and on the disease powers of plundered weapons. Combat rewards aggression over turtling, set in a grim, decaying kingdom.

Ninja Gaiden

Action-packed real-time combat

Ninja Gaiden is a blisteringly fast, punishing action game where Ryu Hayabusa carves through enemy hordes with sword and ninjutsu. Precise blocking, dodging and aggressive combos define its brilliant combat.

Stray Blade

Action-packed real-time combat

An action RPG with fast, parry-focused combat in which you explore the ruins of a lost civilization alongside an animal companion. Death is woven into the journey and changes what awaits you.
