Blasphemous II

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes

Dread and tension

An isometric Soulslike steeped in Lovecraftian horror and extremely graphic gore. You dodge, parry and fight through a grim, disturbing world full of bosses.

Thymesia

Challenging difficulty

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.

Lucah: Born of a Dream

Dread and tension

Lucah: Born of a Dream is a top-down hack-and-slash where you fight through surreal nightmare landscapes to reclaim your own identity. Its hand-drawn look and heavy themes of religious indoctrination and queer identity make it an unsettling, personal experience.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Fantasy setting

A dark gothic action-adventure where you alternate between the vampire Kain and the wraith Raziel. Brutal melee combat, environmental puzzles and a dense, layered tale of fate and vengeance define the experience.

Death's Gambit

Challenging difficulty

A punishing 2D Soulslike action RPG in Metroidvania clothing: you serve Death, battle towering bosses in a grim world, and build your character through classes and abilities.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Dark, serious atmosphere

As the freshly resurrected vampire Kain, you slash through the gloomy top-down land of Nosgoth, collecting spells, weapons and shapeshifting forms. Famed for its gothic atmosphere, richly voiced dramatic storytelling and morally grey tale of vengeance.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

As Hector, a former servant of Dracula, you hack your way through gothic castles and lands in a 3D action adventure. Its standout feature is Devil Forgery, which lets you raise and evolve Innocent Devil companions that fight alongside you.

Blasphemous

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.
