Fantasy without the rosy fairy tales: the world is cruel, magic is dangerous, and heroes are forced to choose the lesser of two evils. Cursed lands, monsters, fading kingdoms, and an oppressive atmosphere — that's what Dark Souls, Diablo, and Darkest Dungeon look like.
No, but they often overlap. Dark fantasy is about the world and mood, while Soulslike is about challenging combat. There are also calmer games set in a dark fantasy world.
Are there strategies in dark fantasy?Yes: tactical games about mercenary squads, turn-based strategies, and card battles. A good example is Darkest Dungeon.
