S.T.A.G.E. said: Hacking and slashing in RPG's are still action RPG's. As I said, Dragons Dogma, Diablo (since you added it), Demon Souls, Zelda and that ilk. Diablo is in a subgenre of third person RPG known as a 'Dungeon Crawler'. Yes, those RPG's evolved from D&D. Hack N Slash games are just linear Action/Adventure titles. They evolved from beat em ups in the arcade, which are based on fast paced skill, hit counting and just having as much fun as possible. Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Xmen the Arcade game...these are the titles Hack N slash titles evolved from. Golden Axe, Shinobi on the Sega Genesis and Shinobi were among the most popular of forerunning Hack N slash titles. Those were the two that did battle for supremacy. Then you had games like Splatterhouse and Castlevania. |
Well there are lists and lists... that one put all together.
