What are some underrated hacknslash games? I love the genre but I've played almost all of the flagship titles (DMC series, the Bayonettas, the Ninja Gaidens, MGR, the Nier titles, Suda51's games, and the Zone of Enders titles) Its been quite some time since I've played something from the genre and I want to check out some of the less popular titles.
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death.
On the higher end of average and used to be a regular on steam sale hidden gem threads when it went for £2
Vampire Hunter D on the PS1.

An excellent side scrolling hack n slash is Dishwasher: Vampire Smile. Super fast paced, bloody, no pesky story in your face, challenging, multiple weapons to unlock, and an unlimited teleport dodge with the right stick. And if all this wasn't enough, the soundtrack is a heavy metal/synth ass shatterer with guitar hero QTEs to find in each level. I only wish a sequel would happen.

Onimusha
Its basically Nioh but on PS2 and plays more like the first Devil May Cry

Not exactly hack and slash, but you can play Vanquish different flavor from melee focused combat but you can be fast and cuhrazy.

Dark Souls if you can bear the combat NOT being a mindless button masher.

Chaos Legion

Transformers: Devastation?
But none of those are Hack N Slash games.

Spectacle fighter then
Transformers Devastation is one of Platinum's best games.

The 3D Castlevania titles on PS2 were surpisingly fun.

This actually. The first one is a total shameless ripoff of the first Devil May Cry, only triangle wasn't the jump button and the music was amazing.
Second one is a great action RPG with loads of customization and shittons of moves.

Fairy Bloom Freesia. Its a better DMC game than DmC.

I miss this series so much, it seems to have died before the 7th console generation
>that satisfying as fuck feeling when you land a critical hit

My only problem with this fame is that they really really want you to use vehicle attacks and if you don't the combat feels sluggish because there's that little bit of slowmo every time you have the option to use a vehicle attack
I dunno anon, I always liked the God of War series. Easier to play them now too with the collections on PS3. GoW3 is on PS4 too

I don't know about underrated but I'll tell you what's overrated. Bloodborne.
Boring combat, zero challenge, no story and no music.
I went in blind and platinumed it in 10 days.

Lol. You actually care about that? What a fucking joke. This, friends, is quality bait. Learn from it.
