Hack and Slash refers to a game genre that puts heavy emphasis on melee weapon-based combat, such as knives, swords, axes, etc., while also often including projectile weapons such as guns and bows and arrows as secondary weapons. This usage carried over to video games – mostly MMORPGs and RPGs – and has stuck around ever since then.

Hack and Slash games, however, have been around for a long time, and the term was in fact first used to describe a more aggressive playstyle in table-top games such as Dungeons and Dragons. The shift from 2D to 3D graphics also made a large impact, not just on Hack and Slash games, but on the gaming industry in general, with what you see on screen beginning to seem increasingly real. Hack and Slash games, also known as HnS, H&S, or Slash ‘em Up games, have grown in popularity ever since consoles and PCs started to evolve in their technology and became capable of handling higher graphics, more complex gameplay, and longer games with more elements in them.
