15 More Difficult Hack and Slash Games You Need To Experience

Scarlet Nexus (Hard Mode)

Compared to many other games on this list – even Bandai Namco’s own Code Vein – Scarlet Nexus doesn’t push you too hard. It can be somewhat demanding mechanically though, especially as you manage SAS powers, Psychokinesis and dodging enemy attacks, and Hard mode sees enemies dealing more damage. Taking care of your equipment and unlocking better skills via bonding with your allies becomes more important. While it usually doesn’t stray into straight-up rage-quitting territory, you do need to stay on guard.
