If you, like me, are all about the undead and the souls and the afterlife, then you might enjoy stepping into the feathers of the Crow in Death’s Door.

To me, the most distinct character class in the Diablo world is the Necromancer. Rather than painstakingly collecting your green item sets in Diablo 3, the rogue-like Hades will have a new batch of options to spec yourself with each attempt you make at taking down all of the Greek gods. The game echoes Diablo‘s isometric style and action systems, and it also draws the same idea of assembling synergistic gear and perks.

This is a huge favorite of the Blizzard Watch staff. The world is more quirky steampunk than demonic gore, but the family gameplay cycles will still feel like home to long-time Diablo fans.īuy Torchlight here, Torchlight 2 here, and Torchlight 3 here Hades From those roots, the Torchlight games have grown in complexity, offering more character classes for Diablo-like co-op party building. The Runic Games story began back in 2009, with a title that offered the same randomly-generated dungeons rife with loot to amass. This title has also got an expansion – Path of Exile: Crucible – coming out in early April, so now’s a perfect time to get into the scene.Īnother very clear descendant of the Diablo lineage is the trilogy of Torchlight games. In fact, plenty of players have gotten hooked on this title during the long interim while Blizzard has been working on Diablo 4. The systems, the setting, the style so much of Path of Exile has been directly inspired by the Diablo DNA. One of the most similar games to the Diablo franchise is Path of Exile. So depending on what you most love about the world and systems of Diablo, there’s a perfect game for you to explore. There are loads of other titles that have been inspired by this franchise. If you, like our staff, absolutely loved the open beta loved the open beta and now need a fix of that Diablo-like goodness while we wait, there’s good news. We are oh-so-close to Diablo 4 being a reality instead of a fever dream, but the official release isn’t until summer, so we still have a couple months of gaming to go before the full game lands in our hot little hands.
