Hack and Slash Fury

Hack and Slash Fury is a story-driven action game about a war between the Light and Dark Empires. You fight through stages filled with enemies, then watch a cinematic before advancing to the next stage. Its Story Mode lasts 10–15 hours and features medieval characters, multiple scenarios and a heavy metal and orchestral soundtrack. All downloadable or purchasable content is included in the game for free.

Combat and progression

Combat relies on learning attacks, movement and combos. Multiple combo routes offer different advantages depending on your position and the enemies ahead, while charged attacks can destabilize an enemy if timed correctly. You can turn auto-pointing on or off to choose whether attacks automatically target enemies.

Fury Mode increases your speed but reduces your hit precision. Using it builds the Fury Attacks Bar, which lets you unleash fast charged attacks, interrupt enemies and extend combos. As Fury Mode ends, you can perform a special super move in slow motion. Filling the Fury bar also grants a K.O. triangle, which can eliminate any enemy in one slash, but a failed attempt wastes it.

Camera and controls

You can switch between a character-following view, a first-person camera and a more zoomed-out third-person view. The mouse can control movement, attacks, combos and camera rotation; pressing the mouse wheel triggers the main Fury attack. Some actions, including activating Fury Mode, enabling movement, changing the view zoom and pausing, use the keyboard. A gamepad is also supported.

Stages and presentation

The game includes many stages and additional scenarios. Textures, skies and music change randomly between runs, creating different combinations for each scenario. Each stage has its own lighting style, using fog or darkness, and after you complete the game, stages that use night or fog switch to the opposite. Heavy metal music by Obsidian Shell accompanies stages, while other musicians provide orchestral music for cinematics. The protagonist can also speak set phrases in the language selected for the game, with phrases available in more than 10 languages.

Online battles

Online PVP supports 1–8 players, crossplay and matches against rivals on any platform. Its combat includes combos, zoning, evasion and aiming techniques.
