Home > Hack and slash

In role-playing games and computer gaming, hack and slash refers to a type of game or gaming style which is primarially comprised of defeating enemies in combat, typically with swords or other medieval weapons, hence the name. Most hack and slash games descend from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, including races such as dwarf and elf in addition to humans. A large number also incorporate some form of magic.

The term is often applied in a derogatory fashion, as in just a hack and slash, meaning that the game consists solely of meaningless violence of this type, with no plot or other goal worth mentioning.

Hack and Slash were two fictional characters in the first computer generated TV series, ReBoot.
