Exanima is an Indie Action RogueLike Dungeon Crawler with physics based combat. Cool!

Think Diablo, plus a controllable isometric camera, but with intense melee combat, where your every step can matter, least you stumble over a chair and get your skull smashed in!

But even more than that, think Dark Souls, in an isometric top down view, and heavily focused on movement and footwork, as you can literally trip over chairs, bodies, and benches as you battle, and get your skull caved in as you attempt to stumble to your feet!

Combat breaks down to timing and distance, and Exanima showcases that nicely, putting the focus on the footwork needed to close the distance for the strike, then dash back to avoid the incoming hit.
As each weapon and object has physics, the length of your chosen weapon really matters in Exanima, as if you have a longer weapon, you should try to keep distance so you can best use it. And if you have an axe or mace, you should aim to hit your foe with the weapon head, not the less beefy shaft. Gotta wack em with the meaty end!

There’s an Arena mode too, where you can practice your moves, and hire fighters to compete for your team, advancing through the tiers unlocking better arms and armor as you win.
Exanima has great music, moody too. Very fitting as you wander the dungeon looking for gear, or battle in the Arena for glory and gold!

Note: Exanima is still Early Access, but has a very novel and interesting combat system that is well worth the price.
Anyway, if Medieval Melee Simulation is something you crave, where every blow can really matter, then Exanima could be the game for you. Give me a watch to be sure?
