Looking for Fast-Paced Greatsword Combat Games

-

I’m on the hunt for games that feature fast-paced combat with greatsword swinging, especially ones that give off an anime vibe. A prime example would be the combat systems in Final Fantasy 15 and 16. I want something where I can slice through enemies with a big claymore or greatsword, but I found Monster Hunter a bit too clunky for my taste. Any recommendations?

Have you tried “Final Fantasy VII Remake”? The combat is fast and really fluid, plus you get to wield some epic swords!

StrangerOfBlades -

“Stranger of Paradise” is another good shout for that fast-paced feel. It mixes in some hack-and-slash elements that might be right up your alley!

DarkSoulHunter -

Definitely give “Code Vein” a shot! It has that anime aesthetic and solid combat mechanics. Also, if you’re into ARPGs, “Last Epoch” lets you swing around a 2h pally in a really fun way!

EpicQuestGamer77 -

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve been meaning to try Code Vein and Last Epoch. They sound like a blast!

WarriorOfDynasty -

Pretty much any “Dynasty Warriors” game will give you that fast-paced sword slashing experience. It’s all about taking down hordes of enemies quickly with your powerful attacks!

AnimeBlade123 -

You might want to check out “Berserk and the Band of the Hawk”. It captures that anime style and has some intense swordplay. Also, Warframe is great for fast-paced action and allows for some epic sword swings!

NerdyKnight99 -

“Nier: Automata” has fantastic combat that’s super fast-paced, plus it offers a great story and visuals! You might really enjoy that one. Also, “Tales of Arise” adds a nice anime flair with smooth combat.
