Hi everyone! I’m on the lookout for dark fantasy games because I’ve already played all the Dark Souls series and Blasphemous. I really enjoy the eerie environments and the tough gameplay of these titles. I’m seeking out new games that offer a similar dark atmosphere, intriguing storylines, and perhaps some difficult combat. It doesn’t have to be a big name; even indie games would be great! I’ve been checking various gaming platforms, but I’m overwhelmed with choices. I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Code Vein has that anime-souls vibe with vampires and post-apocalyptic doom
Ender Lilies gave me serious chills with its haunting soundtrack and creepy corrupted spirits everywhere.
Lords of the Fallen is pretty solid if you want that souls-like punishment with better graphics
Bloodborne hits different if you can play it. The cosmic horror stuff gets really twisted compared to regular Dark Souls.
Dead Cells could work - the combat’s brutal and satisfying, and the prison setting has that decaying gothic vibe. Hyper Light Drifter’s another solid pick with incredible pixel art and a mysterious post-apocalyptic world that gets dark when you dive into the lore.
Try Hollow Knight for that dark vibe with solid combat
Salt and Sanctuary is like a 2D version of Dark Souls with some haunting pixel art. If you want something rich in story, The Witcher 3 delivers plenty of dark fantasy elements. For something more offbeat, check out Blasphemous 2 or Lies of P; both have that grim vibe that really pulls you in.
