Doing some research on side scrolling hack n slash games. What do you recommend?

So far I've been playing

Magic sword
Stryder
Ninja spirit
Cadash with the warrior

Arcade Astyanax is actually kind of fun if you look it up on MAME.

Nazi NecroPhile

Side scrolling level end bits of Xanadu 1 & 2.
Ultimate Forum Bully/Thief/Saboteur/Clone Warrior! BURN IN HELL NECROPHUCK!!!

Opethian

Inferno (MSX)
if you like Magic sword you should check out both D&D games on CPS2, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, and Gaiapolis

If you're going that loose, then you'll find a long list for PCE alone.

Legendary Axe II is a more standard Rastan style game.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Discovered and been playing Tiger Road.

I love KoD and KoR but I'm sticking to a 2d perspective.  The key for me is that the chasacter must have a weapon, ideally a sword.

houly!!!  :shock: 8-[ :lol:
Stryder is almost exactly like Rastan. Both Stryder and Rsatan were programmed by SNK and feature shared graphcis and music and gameplay they are the same except name.

Don't know if it really counts as "hack and slash" but Black Tiger is one of my all time faves in the arcade (they have a dedicated cab of this at Galloping Ghost!)

Black Tiger is Capcom's take on Castlevania. They didn't need to make another one, because they perfected it with their first effort.

That's some high praise.

SonSon II is literally the closest thing Black Tiger ever got a sequel too.

TMNT for the GBA, holy crap!

Definitely check out Gaiapolis by Konami in MAME.  I would also check out Light Bringer by Taito.  You'll also need MAME for that since it's on F3 hardware and was never released on console. (sadly)

Arkhan Asylum

This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

So far Trojan is the only game that uses the shield defensively from the players  input.

Volgarr the Viking definitely deserves a mention in this thread.

It's really well done and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
