The combat heavy game is known as the hack and slash game. Here combat is the only form of conflict resolution routinely used by the players. But after players have annihilated the aboleths, broken the bugbears, chopped up the chokers, demolished the devils, eviscerated the ettercaps, fractured the formians, gorged the giants, hacked up the hobgoblins, inundated the invisible stalker, jilted the janni, killed the kobolds, lacerated the lamias, mauled the manticores, nixed the nagas, outfought the ogres, pummeled the purple worms, quartered the quasits, racked the rakshasa, skewered the sahuagin, terminated the tarrasque, undid the umber hulks, vanquished the vampires, wiped out the werewolves, x’ed out the xorn, yanked the yeti and zapped the zombies the game can get a little stale.
