There must be something in a gamer's DNA in which is encoded the desire to rip through countless hordes of enemies. That would explain the appeal of the hack'n'slash games that have a link to the past that is Gauntlet. It would also explain why developer Snowblind has been so thorough about taking this basic idea to its furthest extent with Champions: Return to Arms. But what needs to happen now is some more innovation or else there will be more games that continue to make improvements without changing the action that is getting stale.
