Good character action/hack n slash games?

posted 189 days ago by BetterDaysStill 189 days ago by BetterDaysStill +19 / -0

With nothing worth playing on the horizon, I've been revisiting old favourites. A lot of them have been character action and hack 'n slash - a nice change from the endless stream of Soulslikes.

I've made it through OG God of War, Godhand and am onto Ninja Gaiden. Anyone have any recommendations for follow-ups?

Another one is a game about a former assassin who becomes a monk but has to kill his former employer who comes to hunt him down. I can't remember the name of the game, it's an isometric hack-and-slash shooter. The developers are Eastern European, so of course it's a competently made game. They're working on another similar game that looks really awesome, but I also can't remember the name of it.

It sounds like you're talking about Redeemer. I remember it being alright, solid but kind of bland.

Yeah Redeemer is it, thanks. The co-op makes it a decent playthrough even though it is fairly generic.

Kiborg, also made by the same people, looks like it really takes everything Redeemer did but amplifies it significantly, so here's hoping they manage to tighten up the experience where Reedemer felt a little shallow.
