Yes it's better than anything on this list lol. Prototype is awesome but isn't really a hack n slash game either. It's an open world game with powers, guns, tanks, and helicopters lol
don't forget about 1 more underated masterpiece called "Ryse son of rome"...if you like spartan and gladiator like hack and slash your going to love it.
That game was beautiful and rly showed off what last gen was capable of when the Xbox one first released If it was just a bit longer I feel it would e been a lot more popular
2:49 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is my favorite game of all time. That was a great experience, super fast-paced, cool music lineup, I even played that with Keyboard & Mouse, I felt like I need to play it. Raiden is the most badass killer in video games
Lord of shadows 2 gameplay is very good and I've recently replayed it and man what an underrated game it is. The addition of dodge really improved the gameplay
wow this was a really nice put together. I haven't played much games in a while but I do like about 80% of what you put on here so I will definitely start to play again
I'm really glad you included Bastion on this list. I love that game so much. It does so well to mix melee combat with gunplay and giving you a pretty wide variety of weapons.
My favourite game of all time is a very underrated game and no it's not some terrible game either its absolutely amazing today I decided to figure out how underrated it rlly was by looking at so many underrated hack and slash game but unfortunately it's not in this vid but even so these games also seem so amazing so even tho you didn't mention my fav game this was a great vid!❤
Thanks for this vid. you convinced me to give code vein another try/run through. I've played/owned a lot of these. Your mention on dynasty warriors 8 is far from the best in the series. the warriors orochi saga will give you the best bang for your buck on those combo systems. not many people seem to know about the fist of the north star or berserk: band of the hawk games either. these should get some cred. again, nice video.
Dante's Inferno was my God of War. My brother was a big GoW fan and I tried to play it, but I never got into it as I didn't like Kratos as a character. I very much enjoyed the world of Dante's Inferno more. I also really liked the Splatterhouse remake.
Hey man I see u cover prototype in a couple vids so far just wondering if u ever mentioned prototype 2 considering its also one very looked passed but has way better graphics than the first unfortunately different protagonist but still very fun 🤩 hidden gem of the series for sure
Dante's Inferno does NOT literally drag you to hell. You are more then likely sitting comfortably while playing the game in your basement. People need to stop throwing the word "literally" around when you don't know how to use the word correctly.
Can anyone remember there was slasher type game where you played as a guy with dreadlocks type of hair, dude was fighting aliens with both gun and sword and had acrobatic combat skills
Some of the game you got on here are not hack & slash. Code Vain is not a hack & slash it`s a souls-like, I consider a game to be a hack & slash if you can pull off multiple combos, but instead of me complaining I`ll put up my own list. Here are some H&S games you can check out: Soulstice Valkyrie Elysium Wanted: Dead Etenights Stella Blade Project DT Project M Lost Soul Aside Phantom Hellcat Arise of Awakener Granblue Fantasy Relink Yasuke A Lost Descendent Shred & Tear: Explosive Kajun Phantom Blade SuperSimmer Astor: Blade of the Monolith Captain Blood Mightreya There are a lot more that are out there, H&S games are really fun to play and i`m so glad to see more of them. Shouts out to hack & slash games, they are making a comeback.
Code vein is not a hack and slash it's literally just anime dark souls. The core combat mechanics are really solid but personally I wouldn't recommend unless you are a big souls fan desperate something new to hold you over. The level design is pretty bad and super frustrating at times. You WILL get lost without referencing a guide for at least some of it.
I never played god eater nor could I get into code vain that much. Just not really my cup of tea, I have no doubt it’s an amazing game just didn’t click with me
Dante's Inferno's only issue was timing. It released when hack and slash was nearing the end of it's golden age and was the market was just over-saturated. I loved it though. I actually couldn't stand GOW because of it's over use of puzzles.
I just played Dante’s inferno for the first time thanks to backcompat on Xbox, holy shit thar game was awesome! I can’t believe I never played it during the 360 era and they NEED to make a sequel to that. It did say, to be continued
Damn no Nioh on this list? If you are talking about fast paced action with combos and flawless combat nioh is one of the best to do it. Especially when compared to some of the games on here that I wouldn't even consider hack and slash
man , Code Vein isnt hack 'n Slash , it doenst have aerial combat , SS grades , the giant combos and the stylish combat , it doenst have dificulty selector ,it doenst even have automatic saving and healing , he has manual checkinpoints/bonfires , he is soulslike. and Dynasty Warriors isnt hack 'n' slash , its from a genre called MUSSOU!
idk if i woulda agree code vein is "hack and slash" its more dodge and slash. its a souls like. still a good game though. i Agree with others, dantes inferno would be nice as a pc port. def would be a banger on steam deck and any other handheld
Code Vein Gameplay was good, but its Storytelling was the most boring shit i´ve ever experienced. Bright Memory is 2h long. Nothing i would pay for. And it has nothing to do with hack&slash genre.
It is a hidden gem cause even among old gamers most don't know it even exists. It only has a single game which came out 14 years ago. The game only came out on PS3, psp and xbox platforms. Sure you can play with an emulator on pc but there are many gamers who dislike playing on emulators as their game performance can never match a real pc version. So it easily got hidden by many other games of the same genre that are readily available in many other platforms.
@@sivasuriyan2620 well l dont know where u livin or if u were a ps3 guy or sumethin but the 360 people deffo knew what game this was let alone it being a game adaptation of a very well known trilogy of a book… So no it was never a so called “hidden” gem published by EA if all publishes so the Brainrot lives on… 😂💀
I wish they did a Dante's Inferno remake.
With some dlc
I swear man. One of my favorite games on PS3, good memories.
I 100% agree, it’s an amazing game and deserves at least a remaster!
They just need a sequel
The developers go bankrupt and nobody have purchased the lincense so ... 😢
Why no one talks about X-Men origins Wolverine, that game is a gem in hack and slash genre
Because it's not good enough, it's actually a pretty nostalgic uninspired game.
loved it, would love to play it again.
Captain America was pretty good too
Many people do.
Yes it's better than anything on this list lol. Prototype is awesome but isn't really a hack n slash game either. It's an open world game with powers, guns, tanks, and helicopters lol
don't forget about 1 more underated masterpiece called "Ryse son of rome"...if you like spartan and gladiator like hack and slash your going to love it.
I remember that but couldn’t play it until years later because I didn’t have an Xbox one
A second one is apparently in the works
That game was beautiful and rly showed off what last gen was capable of when the Xbox one first released If it was just a bit longer I feel it would e been a lot more popular
2:49 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is my favorite game of all time. That was a great experience, super fast-paced, cool music lineup, I even played that with Keyboard & Mouse, I felt like I need to play it. Raiden is the most badass killer in video games
Astral Chain is a HIGHLY underrated game. Some of my favorite combat of all time.
I wouldn’t consider it a hack and slash. Certain types of opponents require certain skills.
The inner child in me was hoping for "Prince of Persia Warrior Within ". Man, that game was leagues ahead of this time.
Dante's inferno is kind of a great game. A remake. Or a sequel or something should be done. I always thought of Dante as Kratos's cousin haha!!
You gota add evil west to this that game was so much fun
Im cleared that game . Evil west is good . My rating 7 / 10
I wish to put forth the Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow games as contenders on this list
That’s what I was coming to post. I loved that first game, but for some reason never played the second.
That game is a gem. Fantastic story, gameplay, visuals and a great ending
Lord of shadows 2 gameplay is very good and I've recently replayed it and man what an underrated game it is. The addition of dodge really improved the gameplay
I love Mirrors of Fate. It blends the side scrolling that the original series is known for and combined it with Lords of Shadow gameplay mechanics.
wow this was a really nice put together. I haven't played much games in a while but I do like about 80% of what you put on here so I will definitely start to play again
Great varied games , you earned my sub brother
Prototype truely deserves a propper remake. God I love that game!
I'm really glad you included Bastion on this list. I love that game so much. It does so well to mix melee combat with gunplay and giving you a pretty wide variety of weapons.
My favourite game of all time is a very underrated game and no it's not some terrible game either its absolutely amazing today I decided to figure out how underrated it rlly was by looking at so many underrated hack and slash game but unfortunately it's not in this vid but even so these games also seem so amazing so even tho you didn't mention my fav game this was a great vid!❤
Mad World is one of the best hack & slash titles and deserved wayyyy more!!!
Nice list ty. I've been always a fan of hack and slash games. Prototype is my favourite.
Totally with you on Proto and thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, good recommendations
Good list; Code Vein and Metal Gear: Rising are great games.
Global Game Explorer, nice video
Thanks! 😃
Thanks for this vid. you convinced me to give code vein another try/run through.
I've played/owned a lot of these. Your mention on dynasty warriors 8 is far from the best in the series. the warriors orochi saga will give you the best bang for your buck on those combo systems.
not many people seem to know about the fist of the north star or berserk: band of the hawk games either. these should get some cred. again, nice video.
I find it entertaining that you went with Dynasty Warriors 8 and not 9 lol
Dante's fucking inferno needs a reboot
Nice games list ❤
Bro, MGR is literally far from being underrated, it's literally the ultimate hack and slash, IT'S THE MEME JACK!
Memes, Dna of the Soul.
Dante's Inferno was my God of War. My brother was a big GoW fan and I tried to play it, but I never got into it as I didn't like Kratos as a character. I very much enjoyed the world of Dante's Inferno more. I also really liked the Splatterhouse remake.
Thanks for showing me Bastion
Great video, and would love prototype and dantes inferno remasters 🙏🙏🙏
Good list, might have to try a couple of these. Surprised no Shadow Warrior games made it here.
Hey man I see u cover prototype in a couple vids so far just wondering if u ever mentioned prototype 2 considering its also one very looked passed but has way better graphics than the first unfortunately different protagonist but still very fun 🤩 hidden gem of the series for sure
Dante's Inferno does NOT literally drag you to hell. You are more then likely sitting comfortably while playing the game in your basement. People need to stop throwing the word "literally" around when you don't know how to use the word correctly.
You need to add Castlevania to the list
Can anyone remember there was slasher type game where you played as a guy with dreadlocks type of hair, dude was fighting aliens with both gun and sword and had acrobatic combat skills
Maybe at release. But im orerty sure mgs rising is now considered a classic phenomenal hack and slash game.
They need a p5 version of dantes inferno. They'd make so much money off this.
Some of the game you got on here are not hack & slash. Code Vain is not a hack & slash it`s a souls-like, I consider a game to be a hack & slash if you can pull off multiple combos, but instead of me complaining I`ll put up my own list.
Here are some H&S games you can check out:
Soulstice
Valkyrie Elysium
Wanted: Dead
Etenights
Stella Blade
Project DT
Project M
Lost Soul Aside
Phantom Hellcat
Arise of Awakener
Granblue Fantasy Relink
Yasuke A Lost Descendent
Shred & Tear: Explosive Kajun
Phantom Blade
SuperSimmer
Astor: Blade of the Monolith
Captain Blood
Mightreya
There are a lot more that are out there, H&S games are really fun to play and i`m so glad to see more of them.
Shouts out to hack & slash games, they are making a comeback.
Code vein is not a hack and slash it's literally just anime dark souls. The core combat mechanics are really solid but personally I wouldn't recommend unless you are a big souls fan desperate something new to hold you over.

I didn’t even notice he was hacking with a Flying V lol
I want one based on the crusades, like the thumbnail.
Code Vein is very underrated.
Fun fact, Code Vein is set in the same world as God Eater.
Nice fun fact 👍
I didn’t know that. Decent game. Anime vampires are always cool.
I never played god eater nor could I get into code vain that much. Just not really my cup of tea, I have no doubt it’s an amazing game just didn’t click with me
Dante's inferno is one of the best games ever played!❤👍👍👏👏👏
Dante's Inferno's only issue was timing. It released when hack and slash was nearing the end of it's golden age and was the market was just over-saturated. I loved it though. I actually couldn't stand GOW because of it's over use of puzzles.
Code vein is a Souls Like
I just played Dante’s inferno for the first time thanks to backcompat on Xbox, holy shit thar game was awesome! I can’t believe I never played it during the 360 era and they NEED to make a sequel to that. It did say, to be continued
Is Dante's inferno on PC? I remember wanting to play it some time ago but I didn't find it.
it was never ported, only emulation
@@flimbli so I'll need a PS3 emulator right?
@@The_inconspicuous_sphinx yea i tried it a few years ago, it worked pretty well with a few minor problems
U can play the psp or ps2 version either on the phone or pc
Can’t leave out Afro Samurai 🩸
Dante's Infernape 🔥
Revengence is the funnest game I’ve ever played. So badass. Cannot believe it was a one and done.
dante's inferno looks fun but not on pc too bad
What's the name of game in the Thumbnail?
I'm curious about that too
Dante’s inferno I believe
I want to play so many of these
Lmao, does anyone still consider MGRR underrated? It used to be on release but now it's one of the most hyped hacknslash games ever
too bad HI-FI rush dont have a pc version so all of us can enjoy it
Ninja blade was good and underrated
Blades of Time? Onee-Chambara Origin? Lolypop Chainsaw? No one? OK.
Dynasty warriors 3 was peak.
The thumbnail is a missed opportunity
Damn no Nioh on this list? If you are talking about fast paced action with combos and flawless combat nioh is one of the best to do it. Especially when compared to some of the games on here that I wouldn't even consider hack and slash
Chaos Legions
Dante’s inferno classic
Chivalry 2 is the most brutal combat game hands down 🙌
For honor is way better
I wish Dante was on steam deck
How is Dante’s inferno underrated though
man , Code Vein isnt hack 'n Slash , it doenst have aerial combat , SS grades , the giant combos and the stylish combat , it doenst have dificulty selector ,it doenst even have automatic saving and healing , he has manual checkinpoints/bonfires , he is soulslike.
and Dynasty Warriors isnt hack 'n' slash , its from a genre called MUSSOU!
Zone of the Enders 2.
Underrated or games that you like? Because of the games you listed, the vast majority were well received by reviewers and fans of the genre.
Metal gear rising revengeance is underrated?
Where have been in 2013~2014 and 2020~2022?
Naw . Just a dante remaster.. id buy it for 30
Awesome game 🎮
Or one gem i loved was Splatterhouse
Conan! The Best game!
Man because of 3 darksiders really fell of the h&s playlist huh?😢
Someone finally gives Marlow Riggs some recognition. I know it's ot the brst game but for how much it costed, it's still worth a playthrough.
That’s games the thumbnail?
idk if i woulda agree code vein is "hack and slash" its more dodge and slash. its a souls like. still a good game though. i Agree with others, dantes inferno would be nice as a pc port. def would be a banger on steam deck and any other handheld
Prototype 3 or Prototype remake when? 🤣
SO SAD MARLOW BRIGSS NOT AVAILABLE ON PS5 🙉🙉
Wanted: Dead is really good
Conan xbox 360 seems to be good
No Samurai Warrior 5?
I wouldn't call prototype a hacknslash
Geez, u happen to show the only parts of Dante’s inferno where you have no skills and no moves. What a waste.
Code Vein deserved more.
Code Vein Gameplay was good, but its Storytelling was the most boring shit i´ve ever experienced.
Bright Memory is 2h long. Nothing i would pay for. And it has nothing to do with hack&slash genre.
Anyone played the ninja gaiden series?
Devil May cry 5 where 💀
No ninja gaiden?
DW underrated? hmm isnt it kinda popular
they even make spesific genre, "musou" for this kinda 1v1000 battle
Like where is Nier automata!!!
Bright memory IS NOT A HACK AND SLASH GAME
It actually is. It's both Hack n Slash and Fps.
Creator themselves called it a FPS/hack n slash hybrid.
Cry cornball baby, cry.
Nier Automata
Prototype too repetitive
Probably the most boring game genre out there imo.
Since fkn when is dantes inferno a “hidden” gem this guy has some brainrot goin on…
😂😭🤣💀
Dismissed.
