If there were a melee equivalent of "spray and pray," it might look something like the chaotic technique used in Cloud Knights.

Cloud Knights is a strange, physics-based action game where combat and movement stem from the same action - relentless, haphazard swinging.

Whether it's an axe, a longsword, or a scimitar, swinging your weapon 'round and 'round like a steel windmill is the only way to gain leverage to move about in the game, as well as lay waste to your undead foes.

The result is rather QWOP-y, a cartoonish game of flailing about that looks as funny as it does somehow strategic.
