Top 5 Hack/Slash Games

Clickonline writes "With DMC force-feeding me my own words, God of War: Ascension pouring libation of bloods and Revengeanceabout to sap me of any remaining sanity, this genre is enjoying something of a renaissance.

True, these games never wander far, but it’s been a while since so many high profile publishers ploughed resources into both the hack, and the slash."

Glad to see Heavenly Sword on that list.

Odviously this Genre is OWNED by GodOfWar ...those other games dont even compete

Irishguy954825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

Yeah..to true hack and slash fans..God of war doesn't compete with them. God of wars combat system is too simple and unchallenging. To people who don't play much Hack and slash...sure God of war will likely appeal to you more than the rest.

Strongman...GTA4 has better reviews and sales than all of your favorite games. So it's better right?

Oh hey...Modern warfare 2 is higher than Bioshock, Lbp2, Cod4, MGS4, ME2 and 3, Uncharted 3, Gow3....I guess...you know. It's better than all those too.

Skips4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

LMAO, maybe you shouldn't play it on Easy. Try Chaos or Titan buddy. And see how far you'll get with button mashing.

GOW is undoubtedly harder than every game on that list (On their highest difficulty). GOW 2 on Titan was freaking HELL to play!

And don't even get me started on story, art style, epic scope, visuals, and pretty much everything else that makes GOW a superior game.

God of War owns on everything but gameplay.

God of War has smooth and solid gameplay, but it's not as evolved as say Bayonetta, DMC, and Ninja Gaiden.

That being said God of War stomps the competition when it comes to Presentation, World and lore, graphics, audio, boss fights, overall cast, story, and probably more.

My top 5:

1. God of War 3
2. DMC 3
3. Bayonetta
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma / Black
5. Shinobi

Honorable Mention: Onimusha 3, Heavenly Sword, Darksiders 2, Prince of Persia, Golden Axe and a few other old school,

UnSelf4825d ago

Top 5 no order:

Bayonetta
God of war 3
Ninja gaiden 2
Dmc 3
Ninja gaiden black/sigma

In terms of hacking and slashing, god of war comes last. But triumphs In everything else

DevilVergilX4825d ago

Heavenly sword does not deserve to on there... 4hours to complete is pretty poor, and the only thing good about it is the story.

AngelicIceDiamond4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

This game right here is pretty good. Its an Xbox exclusive came out almost 4 years ago. Its pretty good not GoW quality but a very fun game. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The biggest flaw of the game was indeed too much QTE. Well done cinematic moments but the heavy use of QTE's broke you apart from the main gameplay.

I was hoping MS contracted Ninja Blade 2 with "From Software" but MS didn't. (Shame on MS)

I remember reading an article a while back that MS wants an "GoW" kind of game. Ninja Blade was a attempt at it. If MS fully backed a sequel this game could be a gem.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watc... another vid in case anybody's interested. Hopefully next gen MS could add a hack and Slash to their exclusives.

d3nworth14825d ago

Heaven sword I wouldnt exactly call a hach n slash. Its more of a hack n slash n crush your manhood. I cross my legs every time i see her do one of her counters or superstyles. Especially the one when she pulls the guy to her then slams the sword right in his crouch.

TheLastGuardian4825d ago

The most extreeeme hack and srash title of them all.

God of War is #1. Check the sales and reviews. God of War sells more than all of those games and scores higher than all those games.

Skips4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

While I do agree God Of War is #1 in it's genre.

I don't agree that it selling more and scoring higher makes it so. (But it is still something to consider).

InTheLab4825d ago

No way DMC 3 beats any GoW title...GoW is the genre leader.

Now, where Ninja Gaiden?

PowerPlayaaa4825d ago

I totally agree with strongman.
God Of war is on a different league of its own.
No hack & slash game can compete with the GOW series.

Chris5584825d ago

I played all dmc true just on hard difficualty not DmD and enjoyed storywise gow 1,2,3 much more especially compared to dmc 2 which is a piece of garbage only and darksiders was too easy for me and 2 somehow uninteresting stopped before finishing

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel1379d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits379d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire95379d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay380d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1380d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter379d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name379d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot443d ago (Edited 443d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4443d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP443d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot442d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19442d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2
