any other games like dmc?

[Blue_Glasses]

are there any other game with the feel like dmc games? aside from bayonetta, of course.

i have tried other hack n slash like GoW, but it's just not as satisfying as dmc, unfortunately

Assault Spy

[TyresTyco]

Nope.. only.. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It is the only game that ticked my boxes as good as dmc 3,4, DmC and 5 did. Still awesome but short.

Bayonetta is a spiritual successor to DMC and Metal Gear Rising: Revengence is also a very solid character action game.

The God of War games have never had particularly deep combat. If you come from DMC expecting that, you'll be disappointed.

The fact is, no other Stylish Action game really comes to close to the sheer breadth of options and depth that DMC has. But that doesn't there aren't fun or different experiences to be had with other games. Some that I'd recommend are:

-Bayonetta (sequels on Nintendo consoles or emulation)
-Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
-God Hand (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, or emulation)
-Ninja Gaiden Master Collection

Others have mentioned Assault Spy, which seems good but I have yet to try it. Some other ones that heavily channel Stylish Action but are more shooter oriented are Vanquish and Ultrakill.

DS is suppose to be a more methodical and atmosphere dense game though.

atmosphere is mostly the same and gets boring, methodical = "don't fall into these 2395720375 death pits!! ooh look how much we're pretending to make this game seem hard!"

sekiro is proof of being a much better game

I don't see how when again they are two different focuses. One is about reflex and the other is about observation and patience (Which was something gamers didn't quite have at the time of DS's release when AAA was dominated by cinematic CoD knock-offs).

So I don't trust that as any kinda "proof".

I think this is more your preference lending you harder on the Action side of gameplay, because Dark Souls was focused on the RPG side of things and the Action type gameplay is very light in it, basically seeing the same 1-3 attack animations for the majority of the game.

Still, some criticism you make here is a bit strange.. Sekiro is exactly like that too, in that exploration is very methodical and you need to pay attention to things before getting into a situation, because what you're talking about are traps / obstacles in the exploration. If you meant that for combat encounters? That's not how fighting bosses or enemies goes in Dark Souls, it's simple, but it's still based on reaction, tells, patterns, etc.

I heard some things about Ninja Gaiden Sigma being pretty cool, might wanna check that one. Also, Godhand.

Otherwise aside from the titles mentioned, there are other games similar to this, but they're more methodical in gameplay than the DMC style of being combo intensive.

ds does not take more patience than and DMC game or Sekiro that's a complete myth, it's just for slow gamers who want to think they play a hard game

there waaay too many enemies in ds games with weird attack animations and don't telegraph well, and bosses are often too huge to even see what they're doing taking up your whole screen, DMC doesn't do this and Sekiro managed it better with bosses like guardian ape

alot of DS games just try to have this superficial identity of being hard, when a lot of people that play those games can barely stumble through DMC on normal mode and can't rapid deflect multiple times in Sekiro

honestly DS is a bunch of trash but at least from made good gaym from making a bunch of garbage with Sekiro
