The game features challenging combat inspired by the Soulslike genre, where players must master dodging, parrying, and strategic use of abilities to overcome formidable foes.

Decrepit

Decrepit is a first-person action game with Soulslike combat, developed by Jämmerdal Games and published by Three Friends. Set in a dark fantasy forsaken castle, players must fight their way out through interconnected areas, utilizing stamina-based combat with both melee and magic. The game features challenging boss fights that guard each new area and an equipment-based class system with set bonuses, allowing players to equip one weapon, one staff, and one armor piece to define their playstyle based on archetypes like Mage, Warrior, Rogue, or Shaman. Adding a roguelite element, every death strips the player's gear and drags them back to the dungeons, restarting in a different cell each time. The world is oppressive and unforgiving, with no maps or quest markers, relying on player intuition and skill to navigate. Knowledge gained from each attempt and loot from the undead are the only advantages, making mastery of the castle's layout and its inhabitants crucial for survival. Rare permanent upgrades are hidden throughout the world, and enemy encounters are variable and persistent. The game is designed to be a hardcore experience set in a decaying medieval prison, featuring suffocating dungeons and rain-soaked courtyards. It emphasizes learning and adapting to the environment and its challenges, providing an immersive experience where players must understand the castle's rules to overcome seemingly impossible odds. The game includes frequent violence and blood, aligning with its dark medieval atmosphere.

Bradley the Badger

Bradley the Badger is a genre-bending action-adventure game developed by Day 4 Night Studios. Announced at The Game Awards 2025, the game blends exploration, traversal, and mind-bending freeform puzzles with a unique meta-narrative. Players control Bradley, a cheerfully-colored mascot platforming character from the PS2 era, as his familiar world transforms into a grimdark Soulslike experience, referencing games like Bloodborne, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Last of Us. The core gameplay loop involves classic platforming combined with "game developer powers." Bradley utilizes a tool called "the Kit" to manipulate unfinished game assets. This allows him to adjust scale, change gravity, tessellate walls to make them climbable, turn objects into explosives, and extrude geometry to create platforms, paths, and cover, completely transforming how players approach puzzles, traversal, and combat. The game is described as a satirical love letter to video games, blending live-action moments similar to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" with video game graphics. The meta-story sees Bradley becoming self-aware of his fictional reality and fighting against it. It explores various tropes, genres, and styles from contemporary popular games and media, offering a commentary on the creative process and the gaming industry itself.
