Odin Sphere

Strong, story-driven narrative

A gorgeously hand-painted 2D action RPG that tells a tragic, Norse-inspired tale across five interlocking character campaigns. Fast brawler combat is complemented by alchemy, cooking and plant-growing systems.

Tales of Berseria

Strong character progression

A dark JRPG where you play the vengeful Velvet and lead a band of misfits against the world's established order. Fast real-time combat and a character-driven story set it apart from typical heroic tales.

Soulstice

Fantasy setting

A dark fantasy hack-and-slash in the vein of classic stylish action games, where you control two very different sisters at once: a swordswoman and her ghostly companion. The fast combat built on switching powers and chaining combos carries an emotional story about sisterly bonds.

Chaos Legion

Fantasy setting

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.

Nights of Azure

Strong character progression

A Japanese action RPG where half-demon Arnice hunts demons by night, fighting alongside tamed demon companions called Servans. Between missions you manage your days in a small hub town while a melancholic story of sacrifice and friendship unfolds.

NieR

Strong, story-driven narrative

A bleak action RPG about a father who will do anything to save his sick daughter. It mixes hack-and-slash, bullet-hell and text-adventure moments, carried by a moving story, multiple endings and an outstanding soundtrack.

Folklore

Fantasy setting

A dark action RPG set in the Irish village of Doolin, where you play Ellen and Keats venturing into the Netherworld. Instead of leveling up, you capture the souls of creatures (Folk) and use them as abilities in combat.

God of War

Lavish presentation

An older Kratos travels through Norse mythology with his son Atreus. Weighty axe combat, an emotional father-son story and a seamless single-shot camera make it stand out.
