2. Dynasty Warriors Series

The epitome of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, the Dynasty Warriors series has been giving fans their fix of mindless hack-and-slash action for a staggering twenty three years now. Over its many, many instalments the franchise has allowed players to fight as countless warriors lifted from the Chinese history books and forge their own path on the battlefield.

However, one thing remains a constant across each game in the series and that is your immense power in combat. No matter which character you choose, you’re always going to be an absolute powerhouse compared to almost everyone else on the battlefield.

Each swing of your trusty weapon can easily mow down a handful of soldiers and the extremely overpowered EX Attacks are truly devastating, sending your kill-count into the triple digits within a few short minutes. Buddy-up with a friend in co-op and the two of you will unleash a massacre the likes of which we have never seen before.

The only real obstacles that stands in your way are each stage's boss characters, but players who know their way around Dynasty Warriors' simple (yet charming) combat system will make short work of them in no time at all.
