Low Fantasy is a catchall, and inexact, term for secondary world fantasy which is neither High Fantasy nor Heroic Fantasy, though it may overlap with other sub-genres. Not a good way to define a genre, but English is funny like that, especially our particular brand of it.
The designation is not a description of the quality of the work, but rather the prevalence of fantastic elements (usually) and tends towards less “traditional� (simplistic) morality. Sometimes comedies are also excluded from the genre, but either way the works that remain don't have a natural unity.
However, while there is no complete list of defining features, there are features and tropes common to many Low Fantasy works that can help distinguish them from other fantasy works; each tends to be the opposite of one of the defining features of High Fantasy:
Settings: Historical, or even futuristic but usually only sparsely supernatural. (Compare with Mundane Fantastic.)
Human Dominance: Worlds which are populated mostly (or even exclusively) by human beings rather than the usual Tolkienesque mix of elves, dwarves and other humanoids. If there are other intelligent humanoid races at all, expect them to be either The Horde or heavily similar to the humans in terms of society and possibly abilities.
Magic: While Magic is prominent in High Fantasy, it's generally rare if not non-existent in Low Fantasy. What magic does exist is complicated, ambiguous, reserved for a very select few and/or has specific scientific rules. It's also likely to be dangerous, corruptive, or difficult to control, and magic-users are likely to be distrusted and often genuinely untrustworthy sorts.
Creatures: Mythological creatures like dragons and demons are either likened to animals, assumed to be legend, or unaccounted-for in the work's setting.
Attitudes: Mundane Fantastic is more likely to be averted, as the characters within the setting react to supernatural phenomena as a person in the real world would. This can range from idolatry to persecution.
General tone: Usually a low-level Crapsack World, but no more than the real world was (or is imagined to have been) in historical times. The Dung Ages will typically be in full effect, but more to ground the story in reality than to shock or horrify. Whereas Dark Fantasy draws its darkness from the fantastical elements, the most horrible things that happen in Low Fantasy are the same sorts of acts of mundane cruelty that litter the pages of real-world history already, and may even be specifically modeled on famous historical events.
Scope: Down to Earth. Tends to focus more on the survival and tribulations of one or a few individuals rather than the whole world.
Heroes: Usually normal people that have taken up a cause rather than The Chosen Ones of High Fantasy. It's not uncommon for them to be an Anti-Hero of some kind and/or have non-heroic motives (e.g. they take up a cause for personal ambition, for vengeance or just to survive as opposed to doing it for the 'greater good').
Villains: Possess more modest (but no less villainous) ambitions than their High Fantasy counterparts, mainly concerned with the material world while using the fantastic elements as a means to an end. A villainous king who steals a magical artifact is less likely to be trying to bring back the Infernal Legions of Hell and conquer the world and more likely to be trying to make himself immortal or conquer a few nearby kingdoms.
Shades of Grey: While High Fantasy usually features Black-and-White Morality with clear-cut heroes and villains, many Low Fantasy works have Grey and Gray or Black and Gray. More importantly, the success of the victor often has no bearing on their motives or honor.
War: While High Fantasy features battles between good and evil, wars in Low Fantasy are usually fought for power, land, and resources. Low Fantasy is also a lot more likely to remind you that War Is Hell, and even soldiers on the "good guy" side may commit horrifying war crimes, while the "bad guy" side may have the occasional Worthy Opponent or Noble Top Enforcer.
Methods: Victories are usually achieved through physical combat and cunning, not magical battles and certainly not by moral superiority. The good guys winning because of their goodness more or less defines High Fantasy.
Politics: Unlike High Fantasy, Low Fantasy is typically very skeptical of nationalism. While some nations may be treated more sympathetically than others, don't expect to see entire countries portrayed as heroic or villainous. Good kingdoms and shining cities are rare, and Royal Blood is no guarantee of good leadership. At the same time, The Empire may not be entirely evil, and may provide valuable stability to those living under it.
Not to be confused with Demythification or with Mundane Fantastic which removes the magical elements, but can keep the Black-and-White Morality and such. Also not to be confused with Dark Fantasy which, while it may be on occasion deconstructive of High Fantasy tropes, generaly has much more (and more important for the setting) fantasy elements than Low Fantasy.
Compare with Magic Realism. Contrast with Standard Fantasy Setting, Dungeon Punk, and Urban Fantasy, plus the tropes mentioned above.

Although there is an evil dark ancient power threatening to come into play in the Inda series, it's mostly a background event and not at all the main focus of the story, which is instead concerned primarily with explaining the life of the titular character and how it relates to the history of his homeland and the rest of the world, particularly the strait which eventually becomes named after him. In fact, the story of what's going on with Norsunder and the most prominent Norsundrian in the story (Ramis), is a plotline that's left hanging for the next book set in the same world, which takes place some 400 years later — and which again primarily focuses on the intersection between different cultures and how characters cope in day to day life. Basically, the whole Sartorias Deles storyline seems to all be shaping up to have a slow-burning High Fantasy epic showdown by having multiple installments of Low Fantasy stories leading up to the ultimate confrontation with Norsunder.

Heralds of Valdemar: With the exception of the Mage Storms trilogy, there is no world-ending threat — conflicts are person-to-person, faction-to-faction, or nation-to-nation. Races other than human are explicitly synthetic in origin, no matter how long established, and while magic features prominently, it's a neutral force: the focus is more on human intent to do good or evil, with magic just amplifying the result.

Les Visiteurs and its sequels take place in France and history largely followed its course in the country. It just so happens that there were witches and enchanters in The Middle Ages, with functioning magical potions causing hallucinations or allowing Time Travel. The one enchanter who's seen ensured his lineage knew about his recipes, but that knowledge would remain largely secret.

Monster Hunter has many of the hallmarks of Low Fantasy. Humans are overwhelmingly the dominant race (others exist, like the Felynes and Wyverians, but they get little focus), magic is almost unheard of, and the plot scope is centered on individual hunters trying to get by in a world where Everything Is Trying to Kill You. What little supernatural elements do exist are typically reserved for the Elder Dragons, rare and powerful monsters that appear completely disconnected from natural evolution.

The Silver Eye: The only magic that remains are a few cursed objects from the time of the Nedarians. Melete is the only Nedarian alive and the only one who can generate curses. Descendants of Nedarians (like the Hollingsworths and the Shephards) have a tiny bit of magic that allow their eyes to change colors and their hands to catch on fire, but that's just about it.

The Old Norse Saga of Grettir the Strong (from c. 1320 AD) fits the definition rather well. Its main plot is the title hero's struggle to survive as an outlaw, but it also features black magic and fights with undeads and trolls.

Shadow (2010) by Kenny Moss is set in a low fantasy environment, where magic is considered a superstition or the work of witches, and the main plot is driven by the titular Shadow trying to unravel the secrets of her kingdom following the queen's death. However, as the story goes on, more mystical elements start to be introduced as The Magic Comes Back.

Fire Emblem: While traditionally a High Fantasy setting in terms of scope, magical abilities and themes, this series consistently enjoys toying with general trappings and themes of the Low Fantasy genre. There are other races than humans, but humans constantly act as the dominant force in the world. There's no real epic quest in most of the games (or, at least, it's almost never framed as such) instead focusing on the outbreak of war between human nations and heapings upon heapings of political intrigue. There were ancient heroes with legendary weapons who helped seal away an evil dragon/god, but those legends have long faded into myth, and many of the different settings' individuals at large forgot the existence of said legendary weapons. Monsters can exist, but not only is it very case-by-case depending on the setting, but it's very often they're regarded as mythic like the legendary weapons, and are regarded in-universe as unexpected developments of the war whenever introduced. Magic is common, but it's not seen as a occult happenstance so much as a science, with Radiant Dawn mentioning scientists developing the Rewarp stave of that game, Anima and Dark magic being regarded as "Reason" in Three Houses. This is all alongside the fact that much of the world, especially in later games, shows much more advanced technology from automata to elevators to magical ICBMs. You kinda get the gist by now.
Arguably the most Low Fantasy of any of the Fire Emblem games is Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. To this day, it's the only Fire Emblem game not to have an overhead threat from an evil deity or dragon, nor figure in blatantly supernatural elements into the plot. It rather focuses on the commoner protagonist Ike getting caught up in a otherwise mundane war between Crimea and Daein, and generally has the entirety of the plot focused on the war than any kind of looming machinations from the more overwhelmingly supernatural elements. Any supernatural elements that are factored into the plot are kept distant and under wraps for the sequel, with even the werebeast Laguz taking a backseat to human politics and intrigue. Even the final boss only becomes truly supernatural on Hard Mode, as they're otherwise an extremely powerful, but normal, Mad King.

The Redwall novels are another example of low fantasy, where the villains often go to war for petty reasons, magic is almost nothing more than prophecy and ascended parlor tricks, the scope is limited to Mossflower woods (or if they do go afar, wherever that place happens to be; our heroes are not going out to save the world as you'd expect in High Fantasy), and where in the earlier books, Anyone Can Die. What breaks that mold is the Funny Animal cast, the Black-and-White Morality, and the fact that Brian Jacques himself ostensibly writes these books for kids.

Mount & Blade takes place in the Constructed World of Calradia, and other than the total lack of magic and the supernatural it fits the mold quite well. You take on the role of a wandering hero seeking to make a name for himself in a land of warring kingdoms controlled by Feudal Overlords who are out to expand their holdings and gain personal glory. Prophesy of Pendor mod fits the mold even better with a mostly human-populated Constructed World with some fantasy races such as Elves and Demons and low amounts of magic thrown in. Though unlike most low fantasy stories it is an epic about a hero attempting to unite a war-torn land and stop the forces of evil infesting it.

Darklands sits comfortably between high and low, although its roots are firmly planted in Low Fantasy due to taking place in 15th century Central Europe in the Holy Roman Empire. You spend a great deal of time simply making enough money to survive, and spend a lot of time visiting very mundane cities and villages, negotiating with local lords (most of whom don't have the time to talk to you anyway), studying at universities and cathedrals, and tackling robber knights and brigands. Magic comes only in the form of alchemical concoctions (recipes for which are supposedly, but not really, based on the works of real-world alchemists and philosophers), which take a long time and precious (real-world) ingredients. The supernatural elements, however, are pretty strong, with many mythical creatures from European lore lurking in the countryside, and an over-arching plot involving the summoning of demons from hell. Also, Christian saints apparently have great powers to bestow upon their followers.

The Age of Decadence: It's a cynical, brutal, low-magic world set After the End. There are stories of a long-dead empire that used to employ fantastical magical powers and who fought with gods at their side, but naturally all that power in the hands of mortals ended up leading to the current status quo because Humans Are Bastards. Pretty much all magic is of the enchantment type: unlike many other Role Playing Games, being a wizard is simply not an option here, as your character will never be able to cast a single spell.

Similar to the Cinderella example, Snow White: A Tale of Terror is implied to take place in The Dark Ages and the only magic comes from Claudia's tricks. The heart of the plot is the relationship between the stepmother and stepdaughter, with Claudia being turned to murder Lilli due to a succession crisis. The fairy tale stuff is mostly just flavouring.

Although The Night Unfurls (moreso the original version) is predominantly a Dark Fantasy, it also contains several crucial elements of this genre to make it qualify as such. To begin with, human elements dominate the setting. While Standard Fantasy Races do exist, it is clear that humans and elves are not so different except for age. Half-lings, while similar to dwarves, are portrayed as shorter humans upon closer inspection, and orcs are counted as The Horde. Classic mythical creatures don't exist — no dragons, no phoenixes, no unicorns. As for methods, victory is achieved via physical combat, small or large, rather than moral superiority. Magic exists, but neither glamorous magical systems nor "sorcerer versus sorcerer" battles are present. Warfare is a common element in this story, where people fight for power, land, and resources. For extra realism, strategy, tactics, and logistics do play a role in determining whoever side has the upper hand.

The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch: the main characters are a gang of sophisticated con men, who tend to run around cities rife with organized crime. The magical ability of the world is actually pretty high, but it's all in the hands of a wizards' guild that appears rarely and has it in for the protagonists.

RWBY takes place in a world where humanity is sequestered into heavily fortified and often bickering nation-states and constantly battling for survival against ferocious shadow creatures that are drawn to negative emotion and attack humans indiscriminately. Even though the story starts with a light-hearted tone, it soon gives way to grittier Grey-and-Gray Morality. It is heavily implied and eventually confirmed by Jinn that the world of Remnant was at one point a High Fantasy setting, and a great calamity in the distant past brought it down to this.

Hoodwinked! is about as low as fantasy gets, being an adaptation of a story that's normally considered a fairy tale but features little one would consider "magic" per se. Just a wolf that can talk and somehow pass for an ugly grandmother. This movie expands that to a world of Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!, which is still no more "fantasy" by today's standards than Looney Tunes. There is mention of a witch hexing a goat so he can't talk, only sing, but he might have just been lying as an excuse to sing all the time.

The Secret is set in Middle-Earth and heavily features dwarves and elves in the plot, but the plot focuses around romance, surviving abuse and poverty, and politics rather than an epic quest. Magic plays a minimal role in the plot for the most part and much of the conflict is quite mundane. The story is also largely focused upon Erebor and the surrounding area.

Blue Ramun: Focuses on the life of Jessie, a girl with minor healing powers who works as a type of healer called a Blue Doctor, using the curative properties of her own blood to treat her patients. The story takes place in a low-magic "Arabian Nights" Days setting, where what little magic that exists is limited to the innate healing powers of the Blue Ramun people (who are still recovering from genocidal attacks against their tribe centuries ago) and the research of alchemists like Sierra. Even with healing powers, the Blue Doctors dedicate their lives to learning the healing arts in order to supplement their natural abilities and the limits of how much blood they can give on a daily basis. There are dragons in the world, but they're endemic to a totally different country, showing up infrequently and being treated a bit like an elephant taxi (that just so happens to be able to fly) when they do. The main conflict comes from the presence of a cartel of Fantastic Terrorists who traffic in illicitly obtained the blood of healers.

Sleepless takes place in a world with politics and technology that resemble renaissance Europe with a pinch of magic thrown in. Each Kingdom practices a type of magic that aligns with the religious practice of the land. In Harbeny where "Time" is venerated, the Healers of Aeon are able to speed the course of an illness and heal wounds by borrowing energy from the end of a patient's lifespan. In Mribesh where "Stars" are worshiped, Seers can predict the future by observing the night sky. The focus of the story is the courtly intrigue of Harbeny, where a new king on the throne and the attendant reshuffling of alliances spells danger for Lady Poppy (illegitimate daughter of the previous king by a powerful Mribeshi Star Seer) and Sir Cyrenic (the knight magically bound to her service).

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is this to the Dark Fantasy setting of Warhammer. In this game, the sweeping battles of the army tabletop game are far away, and you take the roles of humble adventurers (often from working-poor backgrounds like ratcatcher and beggar) trying to get by. Combat is very lethal (what would be a "mere" Elite Mook in the army tabletop game is capable of cutting through your party like a chainsaw through tapioca here, to say nothing of the really big monsters!), and PCs will live in Perpetual Poverty for most of their careers — you might not start with a proper weapon if your character generation goes badly, any armour you gain will be moth-eaten and nabbed off a dead bandit, and magic is both extremely rare and hard to learn because it comes with great costs (and we're not just talking financial).

The How to Train Your Dragon films, despite having numerous varieties of dragons, is fairly low fantasy. There is little or no actual magic involved in the narrative, and dragons are treated as a separate order of animals that can be tamed and domesticated. The second film drives this home with the revelation of an alpha dragon, the Bewilderbeast, whose dominance can be challenged by other dragons.

The Legend of Prince Valiant: Enforced Trope. This is one of the rare animation series set in a low fantasy world, in part by Family Channels guidelines to not allow dragons or magic. Merlin is more a scientist and cannons were mistaken for dragons.

WorldEnd: What Do You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?: In the distant past, the world of World End was a standard high fantasy setting. This all changed with the emergence of the 17 Beasts who wiped out humanity, along with dragons, elves, and the majority of the world’s magical knowledge. Few people in the present-day setting know of the advanced magic of the past, which is regarded as Lost Technology. Only characters who were alive before the apocalypse possess any knowledge of these lost arts. The story also tends to focus more on the mundane lives of the people left behind, rather than the heroes who go off to battle. There is also no obvious evil in the story, with the 17 Beasts being more akin to a force of nature, while later reveals show that the conflict with the beasts was more complicated than first shown.

The world of Valkyria Chronicles mostly looks like Europe circa 1940 with different borders and names. The only thing that's really otherworldly are the eponymous Valkyria; rare individuals who wield power that makes them one-woman armies.

The Overture: The world of East Rondelin is a gritty place resembling feudal Japan. Two warlords have decimated the countryside fighting each other for control of desolate rock, a small, worthless island with no strategic position or resources. Magic does not exist, and even the evil race of Demi has been subdued by the invention of crossbows.

For Honor takes place on a fictional world where samurai, Vikings, and knights fight one another. There are small magical elements, however, such as healing points, Spontaneous Weapon Creation, Charles Atlas Superpower for some characters, and special events where enemies are turned into monsters and have to be killed. Also, there are Valkyries — in this case, mortal Viking women who have made a Bargain with Heaven to secure places in Valhalla for those who did not die in battle.

Despite taking place in a world filled with somewhat sentient animals and Fairy Godmothers, more emphasis is placed on the human characters in Cinderella. It could have passed for a decent period piece if not for the various fairy tale tropes that crop up from time to time.

Iron Kingdoms (at least in their RPG incarnation) take a pretty good shot at this one. Even in the tabletop battle game, wars between nations are usually concerned with either land-grabbing or religious differences (the kind with fire), but anything involving the undead Cryx faction usually veers off into ludicrous world-threatening territory.

Deeper Up the Tower is a serialized fantasy zine telling the story of Florian, a mysterious knight who enters the Tower on an as-yet-unknown mission and encounters a whole host of varying levels of fantastical at play. What makes it low fantasy is the ample presence of Gray-and-Gray Morality. Every monster, every hero, every being Florian encounters runs the gamut, and the world of the Tower, albeit colorful and fantastical, has a distinctly gray moral presence.

The Brazilian drama Deus Salve O Rei takes place in a fictionalized version of Medieval Europe that contains some mystical elements, but the larger focus is on politics between kingdoms and forbidden romance. The conflict between the two main kingdoms of Montemor and Artena is also closer to White-and-Grey Morality since they are mostly sympathetic sides placed at odds with each other due to unfortunate circumstances beyond anyone's control.

The Eddie LaCrosse series might count, though equally it might belong to Sword and Sorcery, which is typically not considered low fantasy. It varies from book to book exactly which label is best. Supernatural elements definitely exist but are rare. The primary antagonists are non-magical and human.

A Brother's Price has no magic, but a world that is very clearly not ours. The narrative is not clear on whether it is post-apocalyptic, or the environment just happens to be one detrimental to the health of male sperm and male fetuses in the womb. The heroism and battles are more of the low-fantasy type, too.

Dwarf Fortress may have humanoid species besides humans (with the spotlight, naturally, on the dwarves, though all of the races are assholes in their own way), but it's quite low as fantasy goes. Technological advances range between the bronze and medieval ages (though, with a little creativity, the dwarves can go well beyond). Magic is rare for the everyday person, and when it does show up, it's of a vicious Dark Fantasy variety. The most common threats to your colonies are rather mundane issues such as the local wildlife, the scarcity of natural resources, and invasions from the malevolent goblins (or, perish the thought, running out of booze). Dragons and megabeasts may exist, but they are few and far between unless you've Dug Too Deep and found the Hidden Fun Stuff. With that said, the game is relatively easy to modify, allowing code-savvy players to add their own mythical terrors and magic if they wish.

In Ascendance of a Bookworm magic is so distant from the lives of commoners that Myne doesn't even realize it's real despite having magic herself for several months. It just doesn't affect the lives of anyone who isn't in the clergy or a nobleman because it seems to be mainly used for ceremonial purposes and as a proof of status. This gets subverted as she rises into the temple and nobility, who use far more magic.

Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne by Brian Staveley has elements of High Fantasy but avoids stock tropes of elves, dwarves and wizards.

Arguably the most Low Fantasy of any of the Fire Emblem games is Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. To this day, it's the only Fire Emblem game not to have an overhead threat from an evil deity or dragon, nor figure in blatantly supernatural elements into the plot. It rather focuses on the commoner protagonist Ike getting caught up in a otherwise mundane war between Crimea and Daein, and generally has the entirety of the plot focused on the war than any kind of looming machinations from the more overwhelmingly supernatural elements. Any supernatural elements that are factored into the plot are kept distant and under wraps for the sequel, with even the werebeast Laguz taking a backseat to human politics and intrigue. Even the final boss only becomes truly supernatural on Hard Mode, as they're otherwise an extremely powerful, but normal, Mad King.

Berserk during the Golden Age Arc has many shades of this, with the setting focusing less on the Cosmic Horror Story backdrop of the universe and moreso Guts surviving years after years on his own before joining the Band of the Hawk to continue fighting a war that's been going on for more than a hundred years. Almost no supernatural qualities are present, and the setting remains firmly entrenched in a world of political intrigue and wars fought between nobles and knights. Subverted with a vengeance once The Eclipse happens and Griffith pulls a truly-horrific Face–Heel Turn and condemns his friends to The Legions of Hell for another chance at living. Afterwards, the setting permanently shifts to Dark Fantasy with some Cosmic Horror Story undertones, and any chances of it ever shifting back to Low Fantasy are thrown into the fire after Griffith's fight with Emperor Ganishka, where Griffith fuses the physical and astral planes together to bring the magic back to the world. The results aren't pretty.

Glen Cook's The Black Company series is Low Fantasy with a High Fantasy backdrop. The titular Black Company is a mercenary company employed in a High Fantasy-type war of Evil Empire versus Heroic Rebels. However, they aren't working for the Heroic Rebels. Definite gray morality; the "Evil" Empire is more Lawful Neutral, while the "Heroic" Rebels are rather less heroic on closer examination. The main characters are all loyal to each other and the band but are interested in survival, not saving the world. And as to magic users being rather freakishly evil, there's the Dominator...

+Anima: Is a story about a group of children (the oldest being 17) that are +Anima, people that can transform to varying degrees into animals, which is the closest thing to magic the setting has. The setting is a world with (with very few exceptions) medieval or renaissance technology, full of wars, slavery, discrimination, ethnic conflicts, insecurity, inequality, amoral researchers, and abuse of power. The story however is fairly optimistic about it, with the main characters and most people they meet merely trying to survive and find happiness despite everything.

The Solstice War has elements of this. While primarily a war story where the only fireballs are from cannon shells, it takes place in a world where people can reminisce about hunting "drakes" and "rock bears," there's churches dedicated to restoring dead magic (with some indication that it was once alive), and a character with some outright magic (though it could also be psychic powers). But the overwhelming majority of the story is rifle-armed soldiers fighting in a conventional mid-20th century style war.

Devil Survivor: While the usual Demon Summoning Comps of the franchise are acquired by the protagonists, the way in which they're used is heavily scaled back. Instead of a post-apocalyptic world to explore, creatures of myth and gods being commonplace, or the usual Law and Chaos factions controlling humanity, the game's far more concerned with survival in a city placed under lockdown. Finding power, food, and slowly unraveling the Government Conspiracy occupy most of the protagonists' time, as they struggle to live through each day. No one person has all the answers, and the struggle for information is what drives even the most antagonistic groups to share what they know. It says something you spend as much time fighting demons as you do regular humans or groups who've acquired their own Comps on the streets; from police gone mad with power, to thugs, and your own allies cracking under the stress. God Himself is never so much as seen, only His angelic servants who don't even arrive until the last 3 days of the game. Even the Demon World that typically occupies a hefty chunk of a Megami Tensei experience is merely referenced and never directly shown.

RuneScape during the classic era and throughout most of Runescape 2 had a lot of this going on in gameplay, setting, and design. The player was depicted as just a random adventurer (one among many running around), Magic was very limited and expensive compared to other combat styles and scope itself was relatively small with very few 'world-ending' threats around. The years leading up to Runescape 3 and 3 itself changed a lot though, with gods starting to become active players in the story rather than just being in the background and with them much higher stakes, the player character became The Chosen One rather than just a random dude, the Medieval Stasis was broken in favor of Schizo Tech, and the games designs started becoming allot more stylized towards High Fantasy (compare the old wizard's tower with the new one)

In I Shall Survive Using Potions!, the Isekai protagonist talks a ditzy goddess into granting her the ability to create magic potions, assuming that since magic exists in the new world, those are common fare and she can thus make a very good living without trouble. It turns out that while there is magic, it's rare, and her potions are borderline miracles. Which is a problem when some unscrupulous people would very much like to lock her up so they can take advantage of those miracles...

The Savior's Series is set in a secondary world, primarily in a country based loosely upon Ancient Greece and/or Ancient Rome. Magic is not commonplace in the setting; the only known magic-user is the Savior, who primarily uses her vaguely-defined powers to keep Thessan fertile; she's treated as a living god by some but as far as the reader can tell she's just a human with powers. Everything else in the books comes off as much more mundane. The primary conflict of the first book is Tobias trying to survive a tournament to win the Savior's hand in marriage, which he entered to save his family from poverty; his goals are sympathetic and he's not a bad person, but he's not exactly heroic. The second book is more of a political thriller in which Leila discovers a conspiracy to assassinate the Savior centered around the tournament and sets out to foil it, and she's willing to do some morally grey or questionable things to accomplish this.

To Your Eternity: An immortal being is placed on the earth. It can do only three things: Remember, learn, and take the form of things that have had a strong impact on it. There are few things that could be considered magical or otherwise supernatural, and those that are are either treated as rather normal, like Oniguma, or are treated as monstrous and terrifyingly "other", like Gugu's booze organ.

While Wings of Fire stars sapient dragons instead of human(oid)s, there are no other fantastical creatures in their world, the ability to use magic is a rare genetic trait, and most of the conflicts are caused by the monarchs' politics.

Mulan takes place in a mundane fantasy version of Ancient China, where the only fantasy elements include animal guardians and the spirits of ancestors. Besides that, it's pretty much about a war, the main character is a human girl and the fantasy stuff is only a bit of flavouring.

While Magicians, Witches, and magic in general, exists in the setting of Citadels, they do not play a significant role in the actual gameplay, which focuses more on city-building rather than character battles. The "magical" skills of the characters have no inherent difference from their non-magical counterparts.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a generally low-magic setting, with a cynically pragmatic worldview and a focus on political maneuvering between rival factions who are all at least morally gray; however, the politics spans two continents and reaches epic levels on its own even without more traditional, stirring High adventure elements. However, because The Magic Comes Back slowly over the course of the story, the fantasy does get progressively Higher as the series goes on, even though the general tone remains Low in nature. The magic and other mysteries are treated as ambiguous, yet highly dangerous, potentially world-changing and complicating factors in an already combustible political and social situation.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in contrast to later entries in the franchise, is quite Low Fantasy. The only magic is the curse that keeps the pirates immortal. And the plot is merely about rescuing Elizabeth from them, and them trying to break their curse. The sequels abandon this element and introduce sea monsters, ancient goddesses, mermaids and trips into the underworld.
On Stranger Tides, while definitely higher than Curse kind of lowers the HighFantasy of the previous two sequels. Outside of mermaids and Fountain of Youth, the movie turns back into standard action-adventure film. That still does not seem to affect the critics and lots of fans who still think the entry is the lowest in the series.

Splint (and its Spin-Off Freedom's Limits). Despite being set in Middle-earth, beyond having Orcs as major characters and Sorcerous Overlords as Predecessor Villains, Splint really doesn't delve that heavily into more fantastical elements, focuses more on personal or small-scale conflicts than an epic-scale good-vs-evil conflict, has rather mundane antagonists and threats and features characters with varying degrees of morality, if not outright Grey-and-Gray Morality at times.

Graceling Realm starts off focusing on the magical beings known as Gracelings- people who are supernaturally endowed in one particular skill. These skills are based on things that an actual human can possibly do, such as fighting or disguise. As the series goes on though, it becomes more interested in the politics of its world than its magic.

The Witcher, as noted. The games are slightly more fantastical and optimistic than the books (with the third one in particular bordering on a Genre Shift due to the world-endangering plot and heavy narrative importance of the Aen Elle), but still fit this classification, being remarkably grounded by the standards of mainstream fantasy RPGs.

Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun is a work of Science Fantasy taking place on an Earth so far in the future that the sun has gone red and counting individual years have become meaningless. Before the fall of humanity into an impoverished dark age of ignorance and superstition, humanity had reached levels of technology that borders on the supernatural, having mastered things such as dimensional portals. Now humanity is fighting over the scraps, while the End Times grow ever closer. Psychic powers and bizarre alien creatures from other planets and dimensions further confuse the line between sci-fi and low fantasy, but these are rare. In this world, eating a pork sausage is considered a stroke of luck for most people, and until near the end of his tales, the main character is mostly stumbling around between his execution jobs rather than doing epic deeds. (‘’The Book of the New Sun’’ arguably belongs to a category of its own.)

The Shadow of the Lion by Eric Flint, Dave Freer, and Mercedes Lackey is set in ancient Venice, and, though magic exists, it has little more to do with the day-to-day life of most citizens than historical "witchcraft" did, and, indeed is treated in much the same way. Except for protagonist Marco Valdosta who ends up fulfilling his destiny as a mage by acting as a vessel for the Winged Lion of Venice and saving the city. Virtually the only other fantastical elements are spirits/demigods and demons (from whom humans draw magical power, so arguably these two are just different aspects of the same element).

Game of Thrones, like the book series it's based on, definitely falls into this in the first through sixth seasons and to a lesser degree the seventh. In fact, the series has even less fantasy than the books because it is a Pragmatic Adaptation.

The Reynard Cycle: Grey-and-Gray Morality? Check. Anti-Hero? Check. An almost complete lack of magic? Check. It would actually be easy to mistake the setting of the series for Europe of the mid-1400s if were not for the presence of a polytheistic religion, as well as the chimera, giants, sea monsters, etc. There is some fan speculation that the setting is our own world, long After the End.

Disco Elysium is fantasy so Low that, even though your capacity for 'the actual supra-natural' is one of the stats on your character creation sheet, you may not even realise it's a fantasy setting until you're a good ten hours into the game. Your character may have Helpful Hallucinations and learn information from the city's Genius Loci that verge on magic/psychic, but might just be your character having a mental illness, and at one point you may investigate a business-bankrupting curse for which there is ample evidence for it being either a magic event, the result of capitalism working as designed, or some combination of both. Supernatural creatures are regarded in-universe as 'cryptids' that most people do not believe in, and the most explicitly supernatural element of the setting is treated more as a natural phenomenon/fact of nature. Most of the rest of the setting is a mundane Retro Universe combining French Revolution and The '70s.

The Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake could be seen as an extreme case of this even to the point where it's open to debate whether it actually counts as a fantasy series or not. While it does take place in a rather fantastical setting (i.e. an impossibly large and ambiguously sentient castle) and is doused with a good dose of fantasy imagery (e.g. a giant dead tree suspended many hundreds of feet from the ground on which a set of twins frequently have tea), it contains no instances of magic, dragons, talking animals or any other such elements found in even the lowest of fantasy novels. Also, the nonexistence of major conflict throughout most of the novels sets it apart from other fantasy stories. The third book really brings up doubts about the books' fantasy merit. Still, this doesn't repel bookstores from insisting that these books be placed in the fantasy section. The related novella "Boy in Darkness," however, is a slightly more traditional fantasy story, but most of the magic and shape-shifting elements present may've just been more metaphor than anything.

Hollow is an interesting take. Everything regarding Das Kagel (actually the ossified remains of the Tower of Babel), the inhuman Oracles, the eternal battle of the dead in the Gland of Mercy, and the monstrous Boschian creatures that are appearing is definitely fantastical, but the main setting of the story is an otherwise extremely grounded and realistic depiction of Europe during the middle ages. The two meet in the middle and produce something like this.

Exit Fate: While elves, magic, spirits, and a destined hero all exist, the focus is primarily on the wars fought between two nations over territory and a third nation that invades both lands as part of a plan to unite the world by force. Furthermore, while spirits exist (and may actually be the souls of the departed), they are inherently eldritch beings who seem either indifferent or actively malevolent towards the living.

The Indigo series fits on most counts: It's After the End. Sentient nonhuman beings are rare. Morality is mainly grey and gray. Clan feuds are more likely than actual wars (although one kingdom does get captured by an Evil Overlord who turns out not to be evil after all). And magic isn't particularly reliable or predictable, and is rarely powerful. However, the future of the human race is on the shoulders of our eponymous heroine and her "dog." Or something.

Red Sonja fits here. She's not on an epic quest to defeat a great evil, nor is there even a great evil to defeat in most instances. There are quite a few warlords or slavers or town toughs that need defeating, usually when they stand between Sonja and the nearest tavern. She's occasionally motivated to a larger quest but never for more than a month.

The focus of A Conspiracy of Truths is political intrigue, and its main stakes revolve around the life of one old man. While magic is abundant, to the point that every country seemingly has their own variety, the vast majority of people have no magic whatsoever. Additionally, magic comes in two types: useful but not particularly powerful, or powerful and almost invariably malevolent.

While the amount of Low and High Fantasy elements fluctuates wildly between individual installments, the Gothic and Risen games generally fit into this quite nicely. The general point of the games is often some personal goal like escaping a Penal Colony or reclaiming your stolen humanity (even though you may save the world in the process, it's never your main motivation). Magic exists, but isn't widespread with the only practitioners being either arrogant high mages or morally questionable Necromancers and Voodoo Priests. Gothic 3 even implies that, since magic comes from the gods, it actually might be a corrupting, evil force after all. And even though there is another humanoid race — the Orcs — their only true difference to humans seems to be the worship of a different god, a simple difference in philosophy.

Crystal Heroes has a contemporary setting and a plot that only matters to the main characters, who are just ordinary people fighting for their own (mundane) personal reasons rather than any sort of moral conflict, war, or any sort of large-scale conflict, and magic is not treated as a particularly big deal. Really, the only thing that keeps it from being Magical Realism is that it takes place in a fictional fantasy setting rather than the real Earth.

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: A group of young Japanese teenagers awaken in the world of Grimgar with no memory of how they got there. Magic is largely limited to minor healing, some sword skills, and a few dark-based spells that inflict minor status ailments. Combat is brutal and savage: many of the battles our main party gets into are more reminiscent of Urban Warfare of the likes seen in Fallujah as goblins take full advantage of buildings and town architecture to ambush and snipe from.* Episode 8's battle strongly resembles a contemporary room-clearing exercise you would expect a modern special forces unit to do, starting off with picking off the enemy sniper and sentry, then stacking up to do a door breach and fighting for every square inch of the building's interior. The goblins so far are the only non-human race and the question of how "evil" they are is implicitly asked as they are clearly intelligent creatures who enjoy games and playing with small animals. And even all this, fighting is only a small part of life in Grimgar: much of the time, the characters are living in a much more mundane fashion by doing things such as washing clothes, cooking meals, and paying for daily living expenses.

Thera: Legacy of the Great Torment is a Medieval II: Total War mod that puts the player behind the reins of a civilisation in an Earth-like world that has just survived a cataclysmic event known as the Great Torment. The presence of stat-boosting and possibly supernatural artifacts, non-human creatures on the southernmost and northernmost continents, and vague hints of prophecies in some faction's backgrounds, all suggest there is something else going on besides the mundane and scientific. It's much, much more cynical than the average High Fantasy, though — there is no good or evil here, just different civilisations all fighting each other for different reasons, be it freedom, faith, self-defence, revenge, or simple lust for power (mostly that one).

War God by Tim Marquitz has plenty of magic but it's not very powerful and the world is a Black Comedy fantasy setting where it's only used to make money or make people miserable.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the are only two strictly supernatural elements in the setting: the titular demons and the existence of spirits; the former have fantastical super powers but the progeny of the entire demonic race in the story was through a mere elixir and the human who became the first demon by drinking it, the potion is scientific in nature but somehow gave birth to the supernatural, the latter merely work as Spirit Advisor in key moments in the seires to some slayers, the lingering souls aren't focal points in the narrative, never being more than the needed moral boost or closure in a person's final moments. The titular demon slayers have their physical abilities, which tether on supernatural, as strictly normal and achievable through training, and the elemental style and visuals accompanying their attacks are completely Stylized for the Viewer, none of it is real.

The Trails Series is less about world-shaking events and more on the daily lives of characters. While there's definitely more of a plot here in comparison and there are villains to defeat, the world itself is never really in danger. While non-human beings exist, they are rare in the extreme, and only occasionally make an appearance. Magitek called Orbments replaces combustion-based technology but mostly behaves like our own electronics. The battle Orbments that allow use of spells are expensive and slow to be produced, and those that do own one are either members of the Bracer Guild to protect civilians or the mercenary Jaeger Corps. Most of the time, the protagonists are doing all they can to protect their own home countries/cities, let alone saving the world, and rarely step outside their nation's borders. Plots tend to be concerned with the grounded lives of its characters and local politics, even villains tend to have understandable motives that rarely affect other parts of the map. The cynicism is entirely absent in spite of the low stakes, the protagonists are flawed but heroic people with good hearts and several antagonists aren't as black as they first appear, though genuinely evil characters do exist. That said, the later-end of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series of games does bring in an element of the world being very much in danger.

Pretty much anything by K.J Parker. The The Scavenger Trilogy is a good example. The series sticks to mundane settings and has a dark tone. It provides a troubling take on heroism. Supernatural elements are present but low-key. The wars are inglorious, both in the field and in their aims

d20 Modern: The "Shadow Chasers" setting is a modern-day variation of this. The fantasy beings of the setting for the most part are out to get humanity (the ones who are not out to eat are out to swindle) and the player characters are monster hunters with their magic for the most part being enhancing their weapons and seeing past the Extra-Strength Masquerade.

Tales of Kaimere takes place on another planet where with wildlife is descended from species "harvested" from Earth over millions of years (including dinosaurs). Magic is vague and many organisms loosely resemble dragons, unicorns, and the like. There are also things like mermaids and demons that clearly didn't naturally evolve, but might be the result of experimentation by The First Children.

While not gritty or cynical in the slightest (just the opposite, really), the Atelier Series of games tend to have many of the other marks of Low Fantasy. In the earlier (and Japan-exclusive) games especially, the setting is dominated by humans, there is very little blatant magic (most "magical effects" are at least manufactured by the alchemist heroes of the games, often with recipes that have at least a little grounding in actual science), and the setting of the games only encompasses a single country or principality (on purpose, as the protagonist is working in a time limit and typically is running a business anyway, and doesn't have time to go casually Walking the Earth). The Atelier Iris trilogy, the first games in the series to make it to America, received some criticism for moving away from most or all of these elements; Mana Khemia and Atelier games on the DS, Liese and Annie, brought the Low Fantasy elements back to the forefront to at least some degree, with Atelier Rorona deliberately going back to it full-force. At least one installment in the series was even deliberately advertised as being Slice of Life in nature.

Ironclaw emphasizes interpersonal conflict, politics, and characters who actually have a place and role in society other than "adventurer". The relative paucity of "monsters" (Guilt Free Slaughter Victims) in a Funny Animal-populated setting gets a Lampshade Hanging in one supplement:
That said, it's not dark fantasy; most of the factions have a sympathetic side, and magic is treated similarly to High fantasy, aside from Unholy magic which is unquestionably evil (though White Magic isn't necessarily good), and the setting is reaching a renaissance.
The 2019 supplement Book of Monsters adds several (mostly plant-based) creatures that can be slaughtered practically free of guilt, but with one exception they're not sapient and most are hunted for food or other commodities if not outright domesticated.

The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio is a simple travel tale with little magic involved(mostly dreams and visions which have minor bearing on the plot). The setting is rather like Medieval Central Asia and if you look up place names you will sometimes find them actually correspond to place names in medieval times.

Ultima, the middle trilogy, Age of Enlightenment, features stories that are not about defeating a Big Bad, but about attaining enlightenment, rescuing you Lord while the regent uses the virtues for an authoritarian purpose, and bringing peace between the realm and the gargoyles below. Britannia's magic and fantasy elements are also more scientific in nature.

The Legatum series falls heavily under here. Magic is definitely present, but hardly ever used, it takes place during The Dung Ages in the 1500s, the stories are heavily character-driven, morality is shady at best, and downright abhorrent at worst (especially in The Green Wanderer), and there rarely seems to be any sort of universal threat lurking about (except in Smirvlak's Stone). The only detail about the series that isn't considered low fantasy is that there is no human dominance, largely since the series has Loads and Loads of Races.

Tangled in a similar vein has very little magic — with the only source of it being Rapunzel's hair. Besides the animals being somewhat more intelligent than normal, there's little else. The protagonists are all human, and the story is mainly Rapunzel's journey to the kingdom. The antagonist is said to be a witch, but she has no powers other than knowing how to activate Rapunzel's magic. As far as Grey-and-Gray Morality goes, one of the lead characters is an unrepentant thief and various side characters are implied criminals with Hidden Depths.

Last Scenario straddles the line between this and high-fantasy. On one hand, there's a race of elf-like people (though they don't have the longevity that are typically associated with elves,) and in the past, everyone had to contend with demons though this turns out to be propaganda. On the other hand, much of the game is spent contending with a messy war involving three different nations and lots of political intrigue and scheming.

Battle Brothers takes place in a human-centric medieval world where you manage a mercenary company. Mundane medieval line and manoeuvre tactics are the name of the game and magic is heavily restricted, usually found in the hands of hostile Necromancers. A crisis event introduced in the late game to shake things up however leads to a Greenskin invasion or a Zombie Apocalypse.

Ironsworn and its Ironlands is not a high-fantasy setting. Rituals are rare and low-key and could even be of a mundane nature if deemed so during world creation. Supernatural creatures and monsters are also rare and could be easily excluded from a campaign. In any case, the Ironlands is a perilous land described in hues of grey where the inhabitants survive not through epic magic but through their own grit.

Octopath Traveler: Subverted. While magic and monsters both exist in the game's world, they have little bearing on the story. Moreover, each character's specific quest tends to be very personal (e.g., revenge or solving the mystery behind a missing object) rather than epic in scale. However, towards the end of the game, it takes a sharp turn towards Heroic Fantasy upon revealing that much of the game's events were masterminded in part by an evil cultist attempting to bring about the resurrection of the Dark God Galdera, and the final battle of the game takes place in a portal to the netherworld while the party do battle with the Dark God himself.
The same is true in the sequel as well, perhaps more so. While it too has a dark god, Vide, the motives for reviving him by his followers are more based in the dark nature of humanity than anything else. Also, characters like Agnea and Partitio have stories that have very few, if any, fantasy elements.
Triangle Strategy has very few fantasy elements, it has magic, but outside riding hawks, has no fantasy beats or monsters. The narrative is purely run on human conflict and ideological clashes.

Crusader Kings II is ostensibly a 4X politics simulator set in the actual medieval Europe (barring the odd fictional ruler due to incomplete records), but occasionally leaned on Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane with the justification that what your characters believe to be supernatural might have a perfectly mundane explanation. The later DLCs (especially The Reaper's Due and Monks and Mystics) have included an increasing number of unambiguously supernatural events, up to and including a Chess with Death event chain that can make you immortal. The game also has an optional Alternate History DLC called Sunset Invasion where Western Europe is invaded by a centuries-early Aztec Empire (no Native American culture possessed ships capable of a transatlantic voyage, and the Aztec Empire didn't form until nearly the end of the game's timeline).
