Genres:Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Horror, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player
Story:"MadWorld is a unique action game experience with two signature characteristics:
An eye-catching, monochromatic visual style that’s yet to be matched; and sense-shattering, bone-shredding violence.
Experience a unique blend of brutality, humor and madness in a graphic novel-style world that’s black and white and blood-red all over.
In sharp contrast to what you’ve come to expect on the Wii, MadWorld was available in American and European markets almost a full year before it was finally allowed in Japan."Show more

This is my favorite game of all time. I literally would have my life fulfilled if this got a PC port. It's gotten me through the absolute worst times of my life even if noone really talks about it these days. Jack Cayman my beloved forever and ever.
MadWorld was a fun time, a gem on the Wii. Stunning artstyle, fun gameplay, the works. More people should experience it but how would a PC port work, considering the emphasis on motion controls? The mechanics would need restructuring.
This game and Anarchy Reigns really deserved better, it pains me that it's so forgotten. There's no other games whee the ost is only rap from the most underground of artists, nor are there any where the entire thing is in black and white. I need this game to escape the Wii and for SEGA to acknowledge it.
Why MadWorld Needs to Be on GOG – A Cult Classic with Killer Soundtrack and Style
MadWorld is one of the boldest, most stylish action games ever made, and it absolutely deserves a spot on GOG. Originally released for the Wii in 2009, it combined over-the-top violence with slick black-and-white comic book visuals, a thumping hip-hop soundtrack, and fluid, brutal gameplay that made it stand out from anything else on the market.
Developed by PlatinumGames (Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising), MadWorld throws you into a dystopian game show where survival means being the most creative killer in the arena. You play as Jack Cayman, a chainsaw-wielding antihero whose every move bleeds style and aggression. Whether you're slamming enemies into spike walls or turning everyday objects into deadly weapons, the combat is fast, satisfying, and endlessly entertaining.
But what really elevates MadWorld is its soundtrack. With original rap and hip-hop tracks from artists like Ox, Sick YG, and Bandy Leggz, the music energizes every moment, blending perfectly with the chaos on screen. It's one of the most underrated game soundtracks ever — raw, loud, and unforgettable.
Bringing MadWorld to GOG would not only help preserve this cult classic, but also introduce it to a new generation of PC gamers who missed out the first time. With no DRM and full controller support, MadWorld could finally get the second life it deserves on a platform built for game lovers. Stylish, violent, and cool as hell — it’s time for Jack to chainsaw his way onto GOG.

Drakengard 3Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.
A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.Action Fantasy
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy...
The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences.
Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.Action Fantasy Horror
