Hack and slash and beat 'em up games are all about visceral, fast-paced combat, sending waves of enemies your way as you chain attacks into satisfying, stylish sequences. They emphasize fluid movement, crowd control, and the rhythm of dodging and striking, often layering in upgrades and combos to deepen the action. From the cinematic brawling of Batman: Arkham City to the relentless fights of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the genre delivers pure combat energy.
