Blade & Bedlam drops you into a top-down, physics-based medieval melee brawl where every swing of your weapon is driven by real physics. The goal is straightforward and relentless: survive wave after wave of enemies for as long as possible, blocking projectiles, cutting down foes, and spending time between rounds at the shop to keep your knight standing. Several scenes show a circular arena floor in light-beige stone with a dark teal moat surrounding it. A character wearing a dark grey helmet with a blue plume appears across multiple views of the game.
Swing your weapon using the mouse to block incoming projectiles and strike enemies. Move your knight around the arena with W, A, S, and D. Between rounds, visit the shop to buy items that upgrade your knight and improve your chances against the escalating chaos. Keep an eye out for special items that help in defeating enemies. The ultimate challenge is taking on and defeating all the bosses.

For physics-driven melee with a deep arsenal, Ragdoll Fury lets you tear through enemy hordes using 15 blades and guns across five weapon classes, each with its own special move. Crypt of the Last Spark is a top-down action roguelite with escalating builds, five phase-driven bosses, and more than fifty rooms to clear — a natural fit for fans of boss-focused progression. HoldFrame blends arena defense with a build system, tasking you with protecting a glowing core from endless enemy waves each night.
