A grim pixel-art Metroidvania where the Penitent One wields three distinct weapons through a world steeped in religious horror. Precise duels, tough bosses and plenty of secrets make exploring rewarding.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

The Last Faith

Dark, serious atmosphere

A dark, gothic pixel-art Metroidvania that blends Soulslike combat with sprawling interconnected exploration and plenty of weapon and build options. You fight through a decaying world ravaged by plague and a corrupt religion as Eric.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Alice: Madness Returns

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim hack-and-slash platformer that turns Wonderland into a twisted reflection of Alice's shattered mind. Its grotesquely beautiful art direction and haunting story about her family's death make every realm memorable.

Blasphemous

Dark, serious atmosphere

A brutal Metroidvania in gorgeous pixel art that twists Spanish Catholic iconography into a nightmarish world of guilt and penance. Tight parries, gory executions and plenty of hidden secrets define the Penitent One's journey.

Odallus: The Dark Call

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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.

Minoria

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Minoria is a dark Metroidvania from the Momodora developers where a nun fights witches and monsters using parries, dodges and spells. Hand-painted backdrops and precise, reflex-driven combat define it.
