Hack 'n Slash PC Games Compatible with Gamepad
Does anyone know of any PC hack 'n slash games that are compatible with a gamepad? Similar in style to the console Baulder's Gate and Champions of Norath games.

An action-based RPG that depends on simple button clicks for attacks.
Examples: Diablo, the console Baldure's Gate games.
Also, fighting games (not vs fighting) can also be considered hack 'n slash.

Crap - I'm forgetting the name of a game that came out back in 1998 or so. It was basically an updated version of Gauntlet, but with a comic bent, and it was a lot of fun. I'm sure that was gamepad-compatible.

But don't take my word for it, download the trial and try for yourself:

Crap, maybe I'm wrong...it's been a while since I've played. But I could swear that I tried it with a Gamepad (but didn't like it).
I'll see if I still have this installed on my PC at home and see if I can get it to work.

I do believe you are thinking about Get Medieval.
I remember playing this for a short time back when it first came out several years ago (Gamespot shows a release date of 7/31/98). It is definitely just about identical to Gauntlet.
