I don't really see it as being the so called king of that genre, and the latest iteration isn't as hack n' slash as it used to be. Certainly not on the same level as Bayonetta. I don't see this game "influencing" future hack n' slash games. |
God of War is the king in sales and reception and was so since 2005.
| Carl said: I wouldn't really call it a simple hack and slash game anymore, it's more a cross between your classic hack and slash and Souls-like gameplay. That said, the king of hack and slash is actually a woman - Bayonetta. |
Kratos is the king going by critical and commercial success. Any of your personal measure is subjective.
| John2290 said: Yes, I almost went and bought the full DMC series on the PSN. Glad I didn't as only 4 would probably stand up. I'm sure many will make that mistake though and I'm sure it's already impacted and probably still impacting the gow3 remaster sales. It's a pity people don't see the greatness in DMC: devil may cry just because Dante got a buzz cut, that game is fantastic and such a tough but fair and fun platinum with some of the best level and boss design in gaming. |
Devil May Cry 3 holds up amazingly well.
There is a misconception that hack and slash games don't have depth. The God of War and Bayonetta games and Devil May Cry 3, 4 and DMC: Devil May Cry have the deepest gameplay systems in a game.
