Hi

I'm looking for games like Zelda, Golden Axe Warrior to play over Christmas.. I'm not a fan of the turn based combat rather prefer hack and slash.

Thanks.
 
Which consoles do you have? If you're looking for a modern Zelda type game and own a PS3 then 3D Dot Game Heroes is the way to go. If you want more of a God of War type Hack and Slash game inspired by Zelda then Darksiders 1 or 2 would be good options.
 
I have a ps3 and a mac..
I like an RPG but like the hack n slash combat system of zelda to the turn based combat. Games like god of war has always sent my eyes funny, as I can't get used to that view point, so I've never got into them.

I guess I'm very old school as at the moment I'm playing symphony of the night. :)

Should definitely go with 3D Dot Game Heroes then :) it's basically Zelda in 3D "8-bit" style graphics, while you can create your own characters and such the music and gameplay are almost identical to Zelda.

I still need to pick up Symphony of the Night on PSN! Was stoked to see it finally made it to digital :D
 
I tripped over symphony of the night on the day of release as I was looking at getting the disc for ps one but it was over £100.

Then a website said it was being released in Europe on the day I was looking for it. It still took me ages to find it on psn due to the poor interface.
 
Darksiders is a definite must for you :) Its considered Zelda for adults, An open world where you gain access to new areas with new abilities\weapons. It is really good!!

I also heard that conan is supposed to be a pretty good hack and slash in a similar vain to Golden Axe. although I never played it myself.

Oh! And heavenly sword is a great game, must be able to get it for peanuts now as it was released near the PS3 launch

Yeah the new PS Store UI is awful. It's such a pain to search for anything and I particularly hate the new search system that doesn't let you freely search for what you want. Though if you're in the market for PS1 games I just remembered we have Alundra on the store now :D if you've not played it before then it's another I'd highly recommend as it's like Zelda for the PS1 (but with more of an anime art style).
 
Alundra and Darksiders does look very interesting.. I think I be hitting psn again tonight.

Golden Axe Warrior is a RPG lossely based around the golden axe world rip off for the Sega Master System of Zelda; some say its better and isn't a beat em up like the rest of the golden axe. Its on the Sega collection disc if anyone interested.
 
I have just got Darksiders 2 to play over xmas but will deffo be buying that 3D DOT Game Heros...

Also if you are a batman fan i also found Arkham Asylum and City has some of the same elements but with fighting rather that slashing. And dont forget Ninja Gaiden as well.. :)
 
Another vote for 3D Dot Game Heroes, it's an awesome game.

Ill add yet another vote for this, excellent very fun game with some good game related humour also, i never did finish it as i encounterd a lot of freezing issues in one of the final dungeon but i finished with very fond memorys of it
