For heroic and epic fantasy applied to ''non-''MedievalEuropeanFantasy settings, see {{Wuxia}} (fantasy of Chinese cultural origin), as well as {{Dungeonpunk}} (which is which is what happens when you take the general attitude of heroic fantasy and remove the MedievalStasis in favor of {{Magitek}}).

* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}: Sword of Atlantis'' was an attempt to make the titular character's comic this genre.

* ''Literature/LegendsOfPanthera'' is set in the semi-medievial world of Panthera and follows the adventures of a group of champions who battle against gods.

* Mercedes Lackey's ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series has quite a few stories in this tone. The most notable is the ''Vows and Honor'' series, about a swordswoman/sorceress mercenary pair who travel the world looking for work and battling evil, almost always because it pays or because a magic sword is compelling them to rescue women. In her ''Oathblood'' introduction, Lackey specifically noted that she made the Vows and Honor stories to play with the tropes of heroic fantasy: the leads are both women, one of them is celibate, and SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs more often than not on their adventures. ''Oathbreakers'' winds up with more HighFantasy leanings than the rest of the trilogy, as it's more explicitly supernatural, good and evil are more clearly delineated, Kethry gets a major power upgrade, and they bring down an evil king so they can set up a better one.
