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.

God of War is not an RPG...its just an Action/Adventure game.
The WItcher is not a Hack n slash, its an Action RPG. I never denied you can hack n slash in the game, but it doesn't overpower the fact that its an RPG.
Torchlight is from the same family as Diablo. Dungeon Crawler RPG....and the same goes for Champions of Norrath and the list goes on.
Ninja Gaiden was one of the first side scrolling hack n slash titles ever.....almost a decade before Diablo was ever came out.
