Devil May Cry vs Gothic
Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry is an incredible hack-and-slash action game from an iconic series where you get to assume the role of Dante (as in Dante's inferno), the offspring of an angel and a demon caught in between the very two worlds his parents are from. The game retells the famously-compelling story of Dante's origin set in a living, breathing and yet twisted world of Limbo, where monsters of all shapes and sizes lurk. Using both demonic and angelic powers that he possesses to deal with any enemy in his way, Dante sets off on a journey of discovery as he gradually come to terms with who he is and what powers he has inherited.Featuring high-octane and visceral, combos-based melee combat, a storyline that just reel you in, and a rich and constantly evolving world, Devil May Cry doesn't only do its old games justice; it actually surpasses the old, forging a new path of its own. If you like hack and slash games, this is essentially the epitome of a great modern game of that genre.
Gothic
Gothic is one of the few rare dark fantasy games that is ruthless, cruel and challenging enough to truly put you in your place in life. You are not the hero; you are not a chosen one; you are just some miserable wrench who found himself in the penal colony in Myrtana, mining for ores day in and out with the rest of the wrenches in there. The colony is filled with tons of AI characters, including both guards and the prisoners, that you can interact and gradually work together with in order to secure some extra benefits or eventually find a way to break out. Oh, and expect to get beaten up a lot.All in all, Gothic is not your average rose-glass-tinted RPGs and surprisingly, there isn't a lot of this sort of games out there. However, our list of similar games should provide you with the best similar games that you'll ever find.
