10 Best Medieval Fantasy Games Ranked

From Pecker Wood Media


The fantasy backdrop that the game presents makes the tones of the game feel a lot darker. There is magic but no electricity to ever make the player or the enemy that the player is stalking feel safe. The stealth mechanics are also fun as they provide strategic combat opti


The main story and setting of Elden Ring was the fruit of a collaboration between FromSoftware game designers and fantasy author George R.R. Martin, leading to an original story that subverted the themes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne in interesting ways (in Dark Souls , for instance, lightning magic was created to defeat ancient dragons, while in Elden Ring , lightning Incantations were created by ancient dragons). At the same time, there are many factions, and even weapons in Elden Ring Maps Ring that are lovingly-crafted homages to key characters and moments in the Dark Souls trilogy (and even older FromSoftware games in the case of the Moonlight Greatswo


The second to last Erdtree Avatar is located in the Northeast of Liurnia . The fastest way to reach this foe is by traveling to the Mausoleum Compound Site of Grace . From this Grace point, you should be able to see the Erdtree Directly to your E


FromSoftware's newest game **Elden Ring , ** a dark fantasy action RPG with challenging combat and open-world exploration, takes place in a separate universe from the games of the Dark Souls trilogy. That said, not a few weapons and combat skills in Elden Ring draw direct inspiration from the armaments wielded by major characters in Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 , and Dark Souls 3 . Some of these weapons were likely ported into Elden Ring as a shout-out to long-time fans of FromSoftware games, while other weapons, skills, and magical effects seem to be attempted to improve on poorly executed Dark Souls weapon conce


Dark Souls is full of dark romanticism where certain backdrops in the game will feel like a Francisco de Goya painting with a mixture of big bright gothic buildings that imply a dark haunting tone in their structures and the way the bright lights hit them. The Anor Londo location is a perfect example of t


This is a faithful remake as it stayed true to the concept of the original game but remade every single design and enemy in the game. The game as its title suggests includes many medieval areas like the haunted castle for players to explore, but the combat can feel a little dated at ti


Many FromSoftware fans have compared the Ornstein and Smough boss fight to the Godskin Duo boss fight in Elden Ring , which similarly features a lanky and round pair of enemies fighting together. The character archetype of Smough, however, seems to be more closely emulated by the Fire Prelate enemy, who dresses in bulky armor designed to mimic a rotund human body. Killing the Fire Prelate in Fort Laeiid nets players a massive, Smough-style hammer called the Prelate's Inferno Crozier, while a Scarab Beetle found in Elden Ring 's boss-heavy Mountaintops of the Giants area drops the Prelate's Charge Ash of War, which lets players mimic Smough's signature ramming att


One of the most enduring mysteries in the first Dark Souls game was the identity of Gwyn's First-Born, a god who was exiled by his own father and erased from the annals of history, the only evidence of his existence being the shattered statues found throughout the game world. In the Archdragon Peak area, __ players solve this mystery when they encounter Dark Souls 3 's Nameless King boss , an ancient god of war who once slew dragons for the glory of his father, then switched side to ally with the ancient dragons he once hunted. After defeating the Nameless King, player can acquire his signature Dragonslayer Swordspear weapon, which could call down a bolt of golden lightning from the heavens to smite f


This underrated Elden Ring weapon seems to be a direct shout-out to Pinwheel, an eerie (but easy to defeat) boss found in the skeleton-infested Catacombs area of Dark Souls . Like the Family Heads flail, Pinwheel has three masked heads modeled after a family unit and fights by summoning projectiles of f


The world of Elden Ring is full of people and creatures whose destiny is out of their hands. The world has become a playground for the gods and higher powers, creating miserable lives for the people in the Lands Between. With each other ending, your character steps in to help make decisions for the people to try and save them, but even those endings have a new higher power controlling the world. In the Age of The Stars ending, players help Ranni break the structure of the world and ascend to godhood with you at her s


Assassin's Creed might not be the best game in the series as most of the game involves the player getting to a target and then killing that target easily. There isn't really much else to it, and it left many of those who ended up buying it feeling extremely disappointed when it first came out. The gameplay was somewhat enjoyable with the parkour mechanic, and the idea was there which created a base for its sequ
