Beat them all
The genre of video games "defeat them all" focuses on hand-to-hand combat. Usually, these are games for single-player or cooperative play, where the main characters must overcome a large group of diverse enemies who can use any weapon, including firearms. It is a related genre to "slasher," where the essence remains the same, but instead of fists, piercing and cutting weapons are used.
