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.

Slain: Back from Hell

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.

A gothic hack-and-slash in which the knight Sieg summons legions of demonic creatures to fight alongside him against swarms of enemies. Combat is fast and stylish, and the story follows a forbidden book and a fallen friend.

Zeno Clash

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Immortal Planet
