Hack and slash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In several different types of games, hack and slash refers to a type of game or a style of gameplay which primarily comprises defeating enemies and monsters in combat, typically with swords or other melee weapons, hence the name. In GNS Theory, "hack and slash" style is mostly associated with the "Gamist" archetype, due to its necessary reliance on numerous point-values and dice-rolling to simulate battles. Hack and Slash were two separate fictional characters in ReBoot, the first computer generated TV series. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hack_and_slash   (473 words)

The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PC - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) With this in mind, Space Hack enters the fray as what can be referred to as one of the incredibly few non-fantasy-based 3D dungeon crawls on the market, using its sci-fi trappings as its claim to fame. Those who are likely to be interested in something like Space Hack are those who have been tinkering with variants on the Diablo formula for years now; with little more than the endless loop of attack-run-heal pattern to carry the gameplay, it’s conceivable that genre veterans will become fairly bored before long. Space Hack sports an incredibly low price point at many online retailers, and $20 nets you nearly 100 hours of gameplay, though most of those hours will be spent repeating the same actions over and over. www.entdepot.com /pc/article_1180.php   (1606 words)

FPL Character: Hack n' Slash Hack n' Slash has similar problems, and his sheer idiocy has effectively given Common Sense the proverbial boot-in-the-rear. Hack n' Slash is, quite simply put, a close combat god.

Why D&D will never leave Hack -n- Slash If D&D is considered hack and slash for having a lot of options for combat rules, and a listing on the character sheet.. Here's why I think the term Hack and slash is annoying: first of all, I don't care what anyone says: it's a very primitive style of roleplaying. If there is a standard (of what causes a system to be or not to be 'hack & slash', and thus inherently primitive and thus suitable only to "beginners" or "weak roleplayers"), it should be standardized and applied to everything, or nothing at all. www.indie-rpgs.com /forum/index.php?t=238   (3807 words)

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade review PSP- VGPub - SOE delivered in making another solid hack ?n slash, but had to make some limitations that hampered the already aging gameplay by scaling down this type of game to work for the PSP. At least the mission length and quests are about on par with most console hack ?n slashes. Untold Legends is a decent offering from SOE that has a solid set of controls, it is just that the console hack ?n slash games are far better and leaves this portable effort in the dust. www.vgpub.com /untoldlegends-review/review   (813 words)

Best Hack 'n' Slash Game - PC Perspective Forums It wasn't a great game, but I'd have to second Rune; Diablo I and II were only called "hack and slash" games in my opinion because they're more action-oriented than the 3rd person isometric RPGs they resemble. Rune is a true, literal hack and slash 3D fiasco -- you run and jump around in this stylized Nordic Viking land, swinging ridiculously large axes at other vikings and monsters, many of whom also wield ridiculously large axes. It's not really hack and slash (unless you use the chainsaw throughout...), but if it's action you're lookin' for, it fits the bill quite nicely. forums.pcper.com /showthread.php?t=234519   (431 words)

GamingWorld X - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Review Sure, the hack ‘n slash got old after awhile, but who doesn’t appreciate some old-school hacking action and a couple of sore thumbs? What Return of the King is as a game, is basically what The Two Towers should’ve been; that is, the improvements made to the first game’s formula are fairly small technically, but in terms of gameplay, change the whole dramatically, especially regarding the fun factor. Just slashing away with the “X” button is just as effective, and also leaves you less vulnerable. www.gamingworldx.com /ps2/LordoftheRingsReturnoftheK.shtml   (1089 words)
