Thymesia

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

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.

Eldest Souls

Challenging difficulty

A dark pixel-art boss-rush soulslike where a lone knight takes on fallen gods one after another. It's all about precise dodging, learning attack patterns and experimenting with abilities.

Tails of Iron

Fantasy setting

A hand-drawn 2D action adventure where you play Redgi, a rat prince fighting back against the invading frogs. Combat demands precise blocking and dodging, while you upgrade gear and rebuild your kingdom.

No Rest for the Wicked

Challenging difficulty

An isometric soulslike action RPG with weighty, deliberate melee combat, stamina management and loot-driven builds, wrapped in a gorgeous painterly dark fantasy style. Town building and co-op round out the grim adventure on the Isle of Sacra.

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.

Darksiders III

Dark, serious atmosphere

As Fury you hunt the Seven Deadly Sins across an interconnected, apocalyptic world. Combat with whip, dodging and magic feels Souls-inspired and rewards precise timing.
