RPG Games like Diablo/Torchlight?

I would actually recommend Hellgate London, I thought it was a very good 3D recreation of the whole diablo style gameplay. No online now though, obviously

+1 for Divine Divinity too, very much an overlooked gem of a game.

Titan Quest - excellent game
Sacred
Sacred 2 - fun but do check the Sacred 2 forums first so you know what you are getting into (i.e. lots of bugs and essentially zero support)
Dungeon Siege 1 + 2 (older)

Nox I remember was rather fun, its a bit old now.....

Not RPG, RTS games apart from warhammer online.

FatRakoon · 18 Nov 2009 at 15:59

Of course yes, sorry.. Wasnt paying attention it seems?

Oblivion then?

mushroomsoup · 18 Nov 2009 at 16:31

dawn of war 2 is sort of a hack and slash rpg. sort of.

Shamikebab · 18 Nov 2009 at 16:32

Oblivion is not remotely like Diablo.

Dark_Angel · 18 Nov 2009 at 16:45

I had a peak at Sacred 2, it looks okay but can't make my mind up - is it worth trying out?

RDM · 18 Nov 2009 at 16:45

I liked Loki, but no one else seemed to...

Sin_Chase · 18 Nov 2009 at 17:54

Tbh nothing even comes close to Diablo gameplay

Well, nothing has ever captured my attention and been as much fun as it - for me. Neverwinter Nights got sort of close but did not quite hit the nail on the head.

i liked loki, although performance was terrible, got very jittery in certain areas.

i got bored with Sacred 2 quite fast but persevered to @ least complete the game with a character.

the only game to come close to Diablo/ Torchlight really is Titan Quest imo.

How is Starcraft like Diablo

He asked for a game like Diablo OR WARCRAFT - which Starfcraft..... funnily enough, is similar to.

Meridian · 18 Nov 2009 at 20:27

It's obviously down to person taste, but I'd say

Sacred 2 > Titan Quest >> Legend (which I don't think has been mentioned?) > Hellgate :London > Loki.

Of those, I only finished the first two, and only Sacred2 has made me play again (I currently have a Seraphim in Act 3 of Platinum).

I don't think you read the OP properly, he quite clearly meant WORLD of warcraft, unless Starcraft is suddenly an RPG where you gain experience, pick up items of rare/epic quality, do quests, fight bosses.

I liked Loki, it was slightly worse than Titan Quest (although the combat was so much better)

I don't think there are any new games that have the gameplay you want atm, you'll have to go through the PC back catalogue.
I liked fallout 3, it ticks all your boxes except it's not sword and sandals, it's missile launchers and power boots

A very underused genre which is surprising giving the lack of innovation these days. Developers could release 10 more hack n slash games into the market and it still would be light in comparison to rpgs, fps and rts. Borderlands is the most recent game with the random loot system in mind. For me that's the dividing difference between the greatest (Diablo2) and the suckiest hns games. How the loot system is created factors in on the replayability.
