  • Melee combat with weapons or fists
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Blade of Darkness

Challenging difficulty

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.

Sengoku

Challenging difficulty

A classic side-scrolling arcade beat-'em-up in which a powerful warrior fights ghosts and demons from Japan's past who threaten to overrun the present day.

Severance: Blade of Darkness

Challenging difficulty

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.

Zeno Clash

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A surreal first-person brawler set in the bizarre punk-fantasy world of Zenozoik, where outcast Ghat fights mostly with fists rather than guns. A short, uncompromisingly weird journey with a truly unique look.

Mortal Kombat II

Challenging difficulty

The brutal arcade fighting classic with digitized fighters, iconic characters like Kitana and Shao Kahn, and its notorious, expanded fatalities. It shines brightest in head-to-head matches against friends.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

Melee combat with weapons or fists

The first Mortal Kombat on next-gen consoles features a rebuilt 3D fighting engine with multiple stances per character and the series' infamous gory fatalities. A roster of returning fighters and newcomers keeps the duels varied.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Challenging difficulty

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.

Mortal Kombat: Special Forces

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A Mortal Kombat spin-off beat 'em up in which you play Jax, brawling through 3D levels with combos and special moves while hunting the villain Kano. It is a clunky, little-loved departure from the series' usual one-on-one fighting.
