Looking for other games like Diablo

[Syres1]

I like playing strategy games or games like Diablo and so on. What newer games out right now would fit the bill?

 

[Shade151]

Diablo as in Diablo 1, or Diablo as in Diablo 2-3? Different styles and themes...

III of course, sorry

Hmm, well the 1st 2 to pop into my head are Torchlight and Sacred. But I'd also say check out XCOM: Enemy Unknown and see if that fits your strategy itch. If you like the themes and clickyness of Diablo in a very RPG game then I would HIGHLY recommend The Witcher 1 and 2.

Diablo 3 is an Action RPG, that felt like a mix of WoW and Diablo 2. Diablo 1 (by far my favorite) was more of a Survival-Horror RPG clickfest.

I did enjoy final fantacy 7 on the ps2. Back then you still could choose where to go. You didnt HAVE to go that direction or do this quest. You could skip a quest if you wanted to or didnt find it, just like with diablo 1.

http://www.pathofexile.com/ is (imo) a hell of a lot better than what Diabolocks 3 turned out to be. The added bonus is that the game is free, only supported by cosmetic purchases and not pay to win as in many cases.

It's currently in open beta right now and plays very well indeed. Dont worry about the size of the skill point tree, just takes a little getting used to.

Ya, you should checkout the Torchlight series, they had the co-designers of Diablo and Diablo II join the team to help create the game (Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer)

The Baldurs Gate series springs to mind, very similiar gameplay.

You've got Path of Exile which is great and Torchlight 1 and 2.
