Similar Diablo (type) games...?

Guru Maith Agut

Hey, does anyone know of any other PC games that are similar in nature to the brilliant RPG based game Diablo and Diablo II? Enjoyed them a lot and was looking for more similarly structured roll playing games. Help!

Westwood had a game called Nox that was a lot of fun.

I believe it was Throne of Darkness.

As to the closest thing to a diablo click fest, well Dungeon Siege would be the most recent one.

I wouldn't classify Neverwinter Nights or Fallout as the same gaming experience that you might be looking for.

E3 has the Witcher and Hellgate:London tho. Both look pretty sweet.

I would suggest Dungeon Siege and Sacred as two to check out. The others games mentioned, despite being GREAT games are much less Hack-'N-Slash than Diablo.

Dungeon Siege is fairly solid, fairly recent release and better supported.

Sacred is probably more similar to Diablo but it was not without it's problems, plenty of bugs, some game ending. I believe it has an expansion and I am sure the majority of bugs have been ironed out since release.

Um... from the creators of Diablo I & II, comes World of Warcraft.
Its an MMORPG with subscriptions to boot, but worth it. Check it out.

From the creators, but not in a similar vein at all. (IMO)

Yeah I'd agree with that. I played it and its more player v pc than ones self immersed in dungeon situation.

Ivan

Not in the same vein?
There are a few classes, each one has "skill trees", its a hack and slash fantasy game. Health/Mana, xp, kill monsters and bosses. Collect loot, gear up your character all for end game PvP.

So... if they are so different, which game am I talking about?

Smellyirishman

Pay a monthly fee for one.
Play in a consistant online world with other players for another.
I would argue against WoW being a hack n' slack.
Fights with creatures in WoW are generally much more calculated and worked out than those in a Diabloesque game, you will generally spend a longer time fighting one mob in WoW than you would in D2 if they were of similar level, if a second mob comes and joins in, you are much more screwed in WoW.
You can end up walking for a while in the WoW universe without much killing.
You can be killed by players 40 levels above you in regions which would be deemed "safe" in none MMOs.
No "story" in WoW, yes, there is world lore etc... but no real story.
Activities such as crafting slow down the pace of the game and can be boring.
You cannot do everything at your own pace, if you want to go to an instance or something then you may have to wait hours to get a group together.
To name a few.

*Granted, some of that my require you to be in a PvP server, but not entirly (and who wouldn't go onto a PvP server!)*


I do not deny that if you like one, you may like the other, they are Fantasy RPGs after all. The OP may like WoW, and I suggest that he looks into it a bit, however, there is a big difference between the two IMO. You could use most of your reasoning statement on 90% of RPG comparisons so the logic is obviously flawed. You could use it on a comparison to Guild Wars for example, a very different game.

Be on the lookout for Titan Quest which will release in the next few months (I think June), looks like it will be quite similar to Diablo games, but with a historical/mythological theme, and more than that, it looks bloody good!

I downloaded the single player demo just to see how the basic gameplay is, but unfortunately my pc doesn't look like it can handle the graphic needs.

And from my few minutes in the lowest setting(note: very ugly setting) the intro has that similar playing style to Diablo.

It looks nice at high settings as per the screenshots tho.

The official site is Titan Quest

Saw another type of game as i was installing an old one, a game called "Battle Realms" looks very diablo type of game or more like Throne of Darkness

Story of Thor for the Mega Drive!

abelard

played the demo of titan quest recently. VERY like Diablo it seems, so I'd definitely have a look at it when it's released. Does anyone know if it will involve a monthly online fee or will it be free??
