Can someone help me, I have recently completed Summoner 2 and Drakan and I am trying to find similar games with magic and hack and slash but without turn base fighting, I am fed up of buying games that read well and when I put them in my machine the fighting is turn based.

What the hell is all that about anyway, if yoiu buy a fighting game then surely you should control the person fighting and have it real time, no you take your shot, Ill wait and then I have my shot, I hate that!!!

Can anyone help me, have you recently played a good game that was not turn based fighting, I do have on order the New Primal and Tomb Raider, I just hope they do not turn out to be the same.

Please email me @ [email protected] with any thoughts you may have.

Thanks

Yup, that's pretty much Kingdom Hearts. No turn-based fighting at all in it, but pseudo random enemies for the most part. There's not much to the fighting system though, just mash the 'X' button to flail your sword about and the other buttons to fire off your spells that you've collected, but doing it all in real-time takes a bit of getting used to. That's something which I thought Drakkan excelled at. Kingdom Hearts is a lot more frantic though.

Hi i thought Kingdom Hearts was a turn based fighting game, or am I wrong in this assumption, it does look like a good game but I do not want turn based fighting I much prefer real time, where you can fight as many monsters that you can at once?

Oops, and pseudo-random battles, the baddies always pop up in the same places though, but the fighting is real-time.

Dark Cloud (Hack, slash, build towns)
Warriors of Might and Magic (Hack, slash, magic, panned by the press, I've got it and don't really see the problem apart from naff graphics, gameplay is pretty solid)
Kingdom Hearts (Hack, slash, magic, but more an RPG than hack/slash)

It's basically just a mad hack and slash with both swords and guns. Not turn based, it's a little repetitive for me, but hey...what ever floats your boat.

Hi English bloke, do you know if Devil May Cry (1st one) is turn based fighting or not, because I know I will not like it if it is, I will however check the two games out and possibly have a dabble
