Hack and slash games bring out the primal fun in video games. The simplicity of the button mashing and the satisfaction of mowing down hundreds of adversaries is one of the core experiences of early video games. The good news is that it can be had on Android with these awesome Android hack and slash games.
Dungeon Hunter 4
Dungeon Hunter 4[Price: Free with in app purchases]
First on our list is Dungeon Hunter 4. It’s actually an RPG game but utilizes hack and slash mechanics much like you would see in a Diablo game. You can choose between four characters, each with their own set of skills and abilities. In true hack and slash form, there are hundreds upon hundreds of enemies and bosses for you to defeat. It also features PVP, online co-op, and plenty of stuff to do.

Dungeon Quest
Dungeon Quest[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Dungeon Quest is another action RPG that plays like a hack and slash game. The graphics are reminiscent of something like Dungeon Defenders on PC and the look and feel of the game is similar to Gauntlet Legends mixed with Diablo. There are 200 floors in the dungeon that you must conquer which amounts to a decent amount of game play. You can play as a rogue, wizard, or a warrior and there are specific sets of skills and items for each one. The game also features leaderboards so you can track your progress against friends.

Eternity Warriors 3
Eternity Warriors 3[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Eternity Warriors 4 is a seriously popular game with over five million installations. It’s billed as an MMORPG but has more than its fair share of hacking and slashing. It has more MMORPG elements than most with guilds, co-op, and PVP but at the root of it, you’re still playing as a character who is battling hoards of bad guys. There are four kingdoms to explore, three character classes, powerful abilities, and lots of fun to be had.

Hail to the King: Deathbat
Hail to the King: Deathbat[Price: $4.99 with in app purchases]
Hail to the King: Deathbat is a hack and slash game that is officially sanctioned by Avenged Sevenfold and they even did the soundtrack for it. Awesome soundtrack aside, the game also features some cursory RPG elements, massive levels, a nightmare mode for more hardcore players, and a creepy story line. It boasts 10-12 hours of game play which is apparently doubled if you decide to take on nightmare mode. It’s simple but fun and the soundtrack is pretty decent.

Inotia 4
Inotia 4[Price: Free with in app purchases]
The Inotia series is a long time favorite of Android gamers because it’s been around for a long time. In Inotia 4, you can play as six different classes across 400 maps and you can even recruit mercenaries to help you along. Much like others on the list, this also has RPG elements so your character levels up and learns new abilities. The graphics are a bit more simple than other games but the button mashing and bad guy slaying is all still there.

Iron Knights
Iron Knights[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Iron Knights is a hack and slash game that gives you more of a hack and slash feel. There are RPG elements but the main focus here is duking it out with as many bad guys as humanly possible.

You can create parties of minions to summon to your aid whenever you need them and you can even summon your friends’ heroes if you need to.

Mage and Minions
Mage and Minions[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Mage and Minions is a hack and slash game with RPG elements and perhaps its best selling point is that it can be played totally offline. The story takes you from planet to planet as you battle Ragadam and his horde of evil minions. You’ll fight everything from skeletons to robots, alients, demons, and dragons. If you want something with a lot of variety and changes in scenery then this is probably your best bet. The game play mechanics are built for mobile which is always nice too.

Ravensword: Shadowlands
Ravensword: Shadowlands[Price: $6.99 with no in app purchases]
Ravensword: Shadowlands is a bit older of a game but it’s still an inviting experience. It supports controllers which is for those who use hardware controllers. It also has decent graphics, a long story, and even some smaller things like the ability to change from first person to third person perspective. The combat system is a bit more involved than most and requires a block-then-strike style but there are still a ton of enemies for you to cut down.
