    149264 AlexB4tman Game the game's combat works in a specific way that is not similar to diablo games or devil may cry/god of war style games so defining it as a "hack and slash combat" doesn't mean anything. 02/13/21 12:36PM 36 done

    100134 deactivated-5f0c8fe41e0d2 Concept Manhunt is a horror stealth game, it is not a hack and slash game Since when Elder Scrolls games are hack and slash game? Why there is a Zelda game on this category list, is every game that has a sword a hack n slash now? Kabuki Warriors is a 1v1 fighting game, not a hack and slash game Mythos is an MMORPG Onimusha Blade Warriors is a 2v2 FIGHTING GAME, kinda like the smash bros games, it doesn't fit into this category. Strider (2014) is a metroidvania game, the combat is pretty simplistic it's just swing the sword really fast. This is not a hack and slash game AionGuard and Gauntlet DS are canceled games so you cant define them as any gameplay type because they were not released. Akuji the Heartless is a 3D platformer, made by EIDOS. The game looks like Gex and Tomb raider. And there is just a bunch of NES action platformers like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania here, W H Y? None of the old Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania games resemble combat-focused games, most enemies die in one or two hits... And there is a bunch of other whatever MMO games and platformers here... Like what Zelda and Secret of Mana have to do with hack n slash games?! This page is a mess 03/04/20 08:18AM 56 done
