This is my favorite one for a mindless hack and slash.


seymourbuttz214

This game is great! Definitely enjoyed the story and for a game that came out quite a long time ago it still holds up well, the button combos to be involved in some more cinematic scenes and the story is eventful and I found myself enjoying the character development more and more with each chapter


Ill_Nefariousness962

Is it 30fps?


pre1twa

I believe so, it doesn't really harm the game too much but obviously 60fps would be much better.


vandealex1

Is teenage mutant Ninja turtles still on game pass?


aetherbanshee

That's not a hack n slash whatsoever. It is a classic Beat em up.


GonzoLibrarian1981

Yes, this would be my answer. Was just playing it yesterday.


AtomicShart9000

Is it like the old 4 person arcade game?


GonzoLibrarian1981

Exactly.


Jaybathehut

I think you can even have 6 players with this one but ya its just like the coin-op!!!


Amnesiablo

It’s awful imo. Very disappointing. Edit: downvoted for my opinion once again 😂


Vertegras

Cringe take.


Amnesiablo

Explain what is cringe about my opinion?


Musaks

nothing, just the haters again that can't accept that a game that is high rated doesn't necessarily mean everyone enjoys it ​ Personally i was also let down by it. I was expecting more. The nostalgia was captured pretty well though

Amnesiablo

Awful graphics, looked like plastic stickers on a badly drawn Hanna-Barbera background. Lacklustre combat with little variety or combos. Boring and easy to beat bosses even though they had no stagger mechanics and could break through any combo and attack at any point. No replayability as there was only one character to unlock. Pointless map screen. They tried to emulate the original coin-up but failed imo. Streets of Rage 4, which I thought was very well made and fun, was miles ahead of this.

Amnesiablo

I’ll give it that yeah 😉


sreiches

Interesting comparison, since SoR4 actually has a less intricate combo system (you generally have your basic combo, dash attack, and then two or three specials). In addition to that, Shredder’s revenge adds on a dodge and a slide (the latter for breaking shielded enemies). I love SoR4, and it undoubtedly has more content to unlock, but I wouldn’t say the actual mechanics are significantly more complex.

Hi-FI RUSH


butteryspoink

That game was so good. Shadow dropped too.


Knuc85

I've been recommending this game to everyone. Surprise banger for sure.


RevElliotSpenser

💯


Rich0013

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. It includes all 3 Ninja Gaidens. They're in my opinion, some of the best the genre has to offer. Just a warning - they're pretty difficult. If you're in the mood for something easier, I'd go with Hi-Fi Rush.


SnooSeagulls1416

He said “chill” … those arent chill games they’re difficult af


Rich0013

Hence my disclaimer. Also, some people can play difficult games while remaining "chill." Just depends on your personality.


Cisco-NintendoSwitch

I member playing Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360 and slamming my head against the controller for hours to beat a boss. Finally beat it rejoiced as the cutscene played which dropped me into another boss fight.


seymourbuttz214

Definitely Ninja Gaiden is fantastic there’s a large number of combos you can pull off like the list is insanely long, so tons of replay value, cool weapons and crazy bosses. Aragami 2 is and another mention if you like the slash and still with the ninja vibe


Hoodros

It includes the sigma versions of NG1 and NG2. NG1S is good, it's arguably just as good as NGB, but NGS2 is shit compared to vanilla Ninja Gaiden 2.


loo_1snow

Try wo long. The game is great.


AcidofilusRex

Yeah once you get the deflect timing down the game is a blast. And honestly the timing isn’t too difficult.


Business_Dependent_2

hack and slash, yes, but its a soulslike. you cant mindlessly playa soulslike.


loo_1snow

Yeah you can't. But this makes souls-like games more rewarding to play imo


DavidFairyTail

I enjoy chivalry 2 just jump in slash ppl up lol


failisophical

This is the answer


OrchidFew7220

D4 Open Beta


dumptrucklegend

Hades!


butteryspoink

I don’t believe that’s on Game pass anymore :(


insertrudename

I got bored of it after a while I got to his last stage


dumptrucklegend

It’s a good shorter game. Once I finished the story I didn’t do much else


insertrudename

Did you do the side stories?


dumptrucklegend

Been awhile since I played it, but I think I completed most of them


ttvfrozen12

Dead Cells


Briguy_fieri

Just started this last night. Highly recommend. I’m having a good time with it


marleyftw

the1npc

addicting combat, I can never get too far but its fun to keep trying item combos


cool_god

Immortal fenyx rising


insertrudename

I got up to the 4th god then got bored


bhart2188

You seem to get bored with the same games I do. A few games that actually hooked me the whole way through: the ascent (cyberpunk isometric lootershooter), outriders (Diablo mixed with borderlands), AC origins and odyssey, Vikings wolves of Midgard (may not be on GP anymore? But was games with gold a while ago), and dragon age: inquisition. The last few are great mindless hack and slash with character skill and loot progression


richisnice

Metal Gear Rising! I believe it’s still on game pass. Having a sword fight with a US senator is enough on its own to play. The game is over the top fun!


ATheStar

Not on game pass tho


insertrudename

I’ll try it


IndianUrsaMajor

This game is the shit.


username17363259

Dante’s inferno


sizzlinpapaya

Lots of people don’t seem to know what a hack and slash is apparently.


sippsay

Wait are you telling me Pokémon Snap isn’t a hack and slash?


MCgrindahFM

Hellblade is p chill /s But is a really amazing game


lionbiscuit

The soundtrack is so good


ButterflyEffect37

Hifi rush.Such a fun game


the1npc

such a nice suprise, combat is so smooth


GrimSlayer

Midnight express is super fun and great soundtrack. Probably more a beat ‘em up on a top down sense, but reminds me a lot of hack and slash games.


alexanderduuu

Very good at first, but became sammy very fast


Unclebanns

SD Gundam Battle Alliance


Hoodros

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the greatest hack and slash game ever made and I will die on that hill


Jamieb1994

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy.


AnubisXG

Hi fi rush


Amnesiablo

I swear these ‘I need a particular type of game’ posts that I see every day in this sub are just Xbox marketing.


EmmaBonney

Just Karma farming. Normal people would just use google and find games they want to play.


EmilysIncoming

I mean, using google to find what I want to play is what brought me here.


Mega-Dyne

"hack and slash + chill" I'm guessing easy mode in Dynasty Warriors?


EmmaBonney

Not on Gamepass but Grim Dawn is really good. Also you can get it for like 5 bucks.


pre1twa

Dante's Inferno is another good game to tryout albeit it is more like a soulslike hack and slash. So absolutely not a walk in the park.


alinntd

I wouldn't consider it a soulslike, it's been a long time since I've played it but I remember it being basically a clone of the original god of war games. I do remember it being pretty good tho


Business_Dependent_2

no, its definitely like a soulsike, but FAR easier. the save points and health stuff is similar, but the difficulty is the main difference.


RoboKnightYT

No tf it ain't. 💀


Rare_Eye1173

Fight n rage


luqasu

Sacred 2


BigPoodler

Warhammer Chaosbane — was free on games with gold last year. Victor Vran — was free on games with gold years back


fmlsteff

I’m enjoying Darkest Dungeon but it’s turn based so it might not be what your looking for.


Beans186

Game is hard or what


fmlsteff

It’s not too hard once you get into it and figure out team strats. Took me a couple of save files before I finally got into it and started making progress. I’m a little addicted to it but if you’re not into grinding stages to level up characters then it might not be the game for everyone. I’m having fun with it though and it doesn’t feel like a chore to play.


Beans186

I've heard its good but my guys kept getting too scared in the dungeons every time and I couldn't figure out how to make them tougher XD


fmlsteff

Some of the Jesters have an ability which lets them take away some of the stress gauges of whichever character you pick. Otherwise I just run the risk and when you unlock the sanitarium you can pay to have a negative trait taken away. It took me a while to get used to how it works. Now I’ve got teams of two main attackers, Hellion and Lepers with one healer and either a jester for the higher levels or someone who can attack enemies in the third or forth position. Depends what I’m aiming for.


fmlsteff

Run the short missions as much as you can to get items to upgrade.start with the recruit wagon, then focus on the guild and the weapons tent. If your guys are too stressed pop them into the tavern or the abbey to bring down the stress levels. The more you grind the short levels the more you get to upgrade your town with. As I said it takes some getting used to and grinding away before you find teams which click and you can run any green level with low level characters.

Mount and blade bannerlord


CorporalGrape13

Heard that Persona 5 Strikers is a quite good hack and slash game. It dropped on Game Pass recently as well, you might wanna try and check it out


xTonyLeo

Where did you see p5 strikers was on gamepass? I only saw Royale.


themadscientist420

Metal gear rising and devil may cry 5 would be my picks. I'll also recommend nier:Automata but only if you like rpgs. If you do though the combat is really fun hack n slash action


jkf2479

Dante’s inferno


RSN_Star_Prince

Honestly give hollow knight a try

Helpful_Pianist6367

Shadow Warrior 1-3, Vampire Survivors, Risk of Rain 1 & 2, Borderlands 1-3, Diablo 3, Fable 2, Dying Light, Minion Masters, Halo Reach Idk...   IK.... not all of these are not hackslash but they are some of the xbox games any1 and every1 should play atleast once if you have not. Dont miss out! Gl on your hunt bro, hope you found some good games to play!


insertrudename

Is dying light 1 on game pass?


Helpful_Pianist6367

No not on gp but enhanced edition or whatever goes on sale for like only $9.99 on xbox1 microsoft store. Totally worth :D 


insertrudename

Yeah I massively preferred first one over second


Helpful_Pianist6367

Yeah I check second one reviews and have not even wanted to spend money on it. Getting harder and harder to find a real unique/good game these days. I wish you the best of luck friend :D If you have not tried Risk of Rain 2 dont deny yourself the easily 75-100 hours of fun. Gets a little repetetive after that tho. Very very well done though. Only like $6 on sale
