Chaos Legion

Boss fights as highlights

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.

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.

Severance: Blade of Darkness

Melee combat with weapons or fists

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

Boss fights as highlights

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.

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.

Down to Hell

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You carve your way as a lone swordsman through hordes of hellish demons in a fast, dynamic slasher. A heavy metal attitude gives every fight a loud, brutal punch.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd

Dread and tension

A roguelite brawler in Mike Mignola's comic-book style: as Hellboy you fight through a nightmarish haunted realm full of monsters while searching for a missing agent. Heavy-hitting melee combat and a BPRD hub base define the experience.
