I am not claiming to be an expert. I'm just saying the only definition that I found for hack-and-slash seems to fit this type of gameplay. This looks like a (better) variation of Diablo to me, and that was considered a hack-and-slash type game. This game also seems to have the Devil May Cry 4 feel to the battle system, and you defined that as a hack-and-slash game. I'm not sure why you're being so defensive. I'm not attacking you. I'm just saying the information I am finding would say this game would be considered a hack-and-slash game. If you don't agree, you don't agree.

But it's not considered a hack and slash game. I really have no idea where you are getting that from. It's considered an RPG or an ARPG. Demon's Souls was an RPG, as was Dark Souls. You can't redefine the genre just because you replace a shield with a gun.

Diablo is an "Action Role-Playing" and a "Hack-And-Slash" game. Devil May Cry is an "Action-Adventure" and a "Hack-And-Slash" game. Stop getting upset. It can be classified as more than one thing. I was not wrong. I am still not wrong. Move along.
