This might be a good thread to add Diablo clones worth playing that are already out.

I've played Torchlight 2, Titan Quest and Darkstone (older title though maybe the first Diablo clone). Liked them all. Torchlight 1 was too bland and to get excited about.

>>15719816

>are there any actual new or upcoming diablo clones on the horizon?

no, rpgs are a dying genre, much like RTS's and the like

The only genre thats will survive are FPSs, mobile games and mobas

this is the future you chose

>>15719816

Victor Vran and the Van Hellsing trilogy are both pretty solid Diablo clones.

>>15719855

Everything comes in waves. If the genres die down a bit it makes room for a renaissance in the future.

>>15719833

>>15719921

I played all of that.

torchlight frontiers is looking like shit, grim yawn and poe are getting updates though, poe in december but I can't remember when grim dawn is getting its expansion

>>15719932

played anything not mentioned that is a good diablo clone?

>>15719967

Well if you thought that Torchlight 1 was too bland I don't think I have anything for you.

TL1 is easily one of my favourites.

Then again if you consider TQ worth playing look into Grim Dawn, it's made by the same devs.

>>15719944

Isn't it a mobile game? It might as well not exist.

>>15720004

>Then again if you consider TQ worth playing look into Grim Dawn, it's made by the same devs.

It's on my to do list, Torchlight 1 had decent gameplay but the art style and levels were very mundane and not very unique– which made it good for toasters and laptops to run though. Torchlight 2 was an improvement in every way, I thought.

>>15720004

torchlight frontiers? no I dont think it's mobile, it's just always online with no trading and some other weirdness.

>>15720042

>Always online

So mobile game but on PC.

Same shit.

You can't mod it, you can't play whenever you like, you can't cheat when you're bored, you own nothing goyim.

Fuck always online games.

GRIM DAWN

>>15720071

Because why support inferior control scheme?

>>15720071

because point aiming while moving is a bitch with joystick and movement is unprecise with wasd

>>15719921

>Victor Vran and the Van Hellsing trilogy are both pretty solid Diablo clones.

They are terrible.

>>15719944

>torchlight frontiers

Its a phone game, what you expect? And it has nothing to do with TL except license.

>>15719944

>grim dawn is getting its expansion

You probably think about TQ expansion.

>>15720071

Actually grim dawn supports it(you can move and you can remap keys), and d3 has a version for consoles and people say its more fun. And path of exile too, but its separate version for consoles. Shitty games like Victor Vran and Van Hellsing support it natively but they are bad.

Anyway

Grim dawn(less than 300h)>path of exile(more than 300h)>diablo2 mods>TQ>shit>TL2.

Also if you want similar gameplay but with puzzles but without loot, I can recommend you Forced. But you need 3-4 players for it for the most fun.

Bards tale is also good, but it has barebones rpg system, but its a good game.

Also nioh uses diablo 2 loot/builds system so if you want diablo+dark souls+witcher you can play that. It starts as dark souls and later it turns pretty much into pure diablo with builds and grind.

>>15720090

Guild Wars 1 having primarily clock movement supplemented by WASD for some precise movement/dodging did work well.

>>15720094

Damn it. Click movement.

>>15720090

You don't just hold mouse to move permanently.

You have infinite fucking vectors.

Anyone try Wolcen beta?

>>15719816

Grim dawn is my only go-to for modern diablo clones, second expac on the horizon as well.

TL2 was fun but after beating it once I burned out because it did not feel like you can customize that much with your classes and I hate how some of the spells work. Got fed up with my berserker since a lot of the gameplay revolves around keeping up these two buffs with a short as fuck duration and it became tedious having to reapply them nonstop. I wonder how people would respond to the cute cartoony art style it had if the game released today seeing how popular that shit has become.

>>15719944

>TL frontiers

Well fuck, looks like my answer was right here. Besides it looking pretty mediocre I'm guessing lots of casuals will flock to that shitty diablo mobile game instead.

Do you think diablo immortal could flop causing investors to blame blizzard and shut down all future ips…We wouldnt have to watch them be necrophiliacs anymore.

>>15720140

It will not flop.

Mobile market is much bigger than PC and console combined, and it will easily dominate it with Blizzard marketing team behind it.

See heartstone.

DI doesn't need established base to succeed.

>>15720144

>It will not flop.

Yeah, shitty freemium games make fucking billions these days from dumb fucks. And its not like they spend any money on it. Presentation/advertizements probably was 80-90% of budget.

>See heartstone.

To be honest its allright game for what you can expect from collecting card games.

>>15720122

I had a fun time with the embermage, a nice variety of attacks, but I'm pretty sure my build sucked and one of the most fun things about that class, stacking debuffs to elemental resistance by using staff based damage, was nerfed.

>>15720243

Is that supposed to be a flame or that stylized piece of shit that Japanese artists drew sometimes?

>>15720092

>You probably think about TQ expansion.

Grim dawn is getting another expansion in early 2019.

>>15720252

Looks like steaming bloody dung to me.

>>15720096

>You have infinite fucking vectors.

Bzzzzt Wrong

>>15721171

>console monkey can't process more than 2 vectors

Bzzzt go back to mario.

Diablo clones are always shit

The only one I've ever enjoyed was Adventures of Van Helsing 1 and 2; every other "recommended one" I've had recommended to me was absolute fucking garbage

>TL 1/2

>PoE

>Titan Quest

And whatever other forgettable garbage I can't remember; there was one that actually looked good, Grim dawn but I have yet to play it

>>15721249

>the only one i enjoyed was the casualized console garbage one

lol kys

>>15721280

I mainly enjoyed it because of its setting, aesthetic and characters

Combat was fun as well when I attempted to do a "balanced" build (which was apparently not great) but it created a high-tension experience with a lot of kiting and weaving

>>15721249

I agree, but for me it's 100% due to controls, I fucking loathe clicking the mouse to move my character.

Anybody remember Dungeon Runners?

>>15720140

1. It probably will not flop given that its a chinese asset flip mobile game that will easily get its return money back even with all the outcry about the game because gook vermin don't give a shit and will mindlessly consume it

2. Even in the astronomical chance that it does flop, it's not even a mainline diablo game or a basket Blizzard kikes are putting all their eggs into

Also this is the same company that has people buying fucking virtual tickets to their gay ass event, we will have to see a point where WoW can't sustain itself from subscription fees, retards stop spending money in overwatch pro league and lootbox shit, and hearthstone sales until investors start to blame blizzard for their undoubtedly fuckups over the years.

>>15719816

If you put a ton of autism into Diablo 2 then you should also enjoy Path of Exile that gets a fairly large expansion every 3-4 months.

Learn japanese and play Lunatic Dawn III and IV

>>15723606

Don't play Path of Exile.

This is the third or fourth league in a row that GGG is rigging what players get. Apparently in this league it was impossible for most players to get 4-socket Resonators. Only certain Streamers were apparently able to get them.

>>15720101

>>15721164

I want to to try it, but like you the early access part bothers me.

>>15721164

>>15723672

Was just curious how the combat felt. The gameplay video made it seem like some of the enemies are just HP walls, but the ability to roll away seems nifty.

>>15723740

I'm dying for a new Diablo clone that's not shit, but I'm going to wait to see how Wolcen plays out.

>>15721164

Is red damaged gear or are they just straying from the archetypal item rarity colors?

Din's Curse is pretty good.

>>15724046

Real fucking new game my dude.

>>15723657

I'm not learning japanese.

>>15724077

probably beezlebox, it might come out the next two or three years

Guys what's the best way to play Diablo I and II on a modern computer? Are there any charts like Doom?

>>15728310

Through battlenet ha ha.

Seriously just pirate some repack and go, it's not like doom where you need a port to run on modern system.

>>15728569

>Huge crowds

>There's only like 50

>>15719833

>doesn't lose all her clothes upon returning into human form

Shit game.

>>15728569

>the most casual, tedious, and popular RPG genre
