Dark survivors-like hidden gems
Demons, cursed ruins and nightmares run through these dark hidden gems, all built around steering one fighter while attacks trigger on their own. In Conquest Dark you circle crumbling ruins as abilities pile up, while Be My Horde lets you grow a zombie crowd that does the fighting for you and Arms of God sends a lone warrior through short brutal stages. You guide movement, pick upgrades and watch small choices turn into crowded, messy survival runs.
