8. Salt and Sanctuary

Salt and Sanctuary- Announcement Trailer: Washed Ashore

Salt and Sanctuary is a 2D action RPG developed by SKA Studios.  Doomed upon an uncharted island, set out to explore a cursed realm of forgotten cities, blood-soaked dungeons, and fallen lords.

This game features a unique style of combat that is visually compelling and brutal.  This title seems to be a fun one with its cartoonish style, but make no mistake, this is a dark fantasy tale like no other.  Explore and fight your way through the ruins of a cursed realm and face an unspeakable evil long since forgotten.

Not your everyday dark fantasy action title, Salt and Sanctuary none the less delivers on its style and fun gameplay.

Enjoy the fun looking design which masks the true darkness of the story.

Run through levels and brutally slaughter anything in your path.

Face off against challenging bosses.

Never thought about it, but browsed through other dark fantasy games after reading this piece https://rawg.io/tags/dark-fantasy and thought to myself that The Witcher series is the perfect example of dark fantasy. Hell, it's even darker than the books at times, and the original game might be the darkest one. There aren't many magic there (perhaps because of the visuals) and all other aspects of dark fantasy are there.
