Hello and welcome from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeerHD and this is the third part
of Top 25 games like Diablo.
If you missed the first and second parts, it doesn’t matter, there is absolutely no
difference where to begin, watch this video freely, you will find links to other parts
in the description below and also at the end of this video.
Torchlight
Many people say that if you want to try Torchlight, you just buy Torchlight 2, but in my opinion
just skipping one of the best action RPG games just because it has stronger, more handsome
brother is... totally acceptable.
Wait, what?
Ha, there is the catch – first Torchlight is a bit rough on the edges when you compare
it with second incarnation of this game, so if you never played it, you can just skip
it, or you can go to the torchlightfansite.com and immerse yourself in a world of mods.
Yes, I know that I say that a lot, but the database of Torchlight mods is huge.
You can find hundreds of files that will make your game better, stronger and almost as handsome
as it’s younger brother.
I personally enjoyed playing Torchlight even more than Torchlight 2 because of its oldschool
dungeon system, where you just go deeper and deeper instead of having different areas to
explore, it was just like in the first Diablo.
Also there is no multiplayer, meaning that developers actually tried to make a game that
you can enjoy alone.
I have to mention that some of the developers were working with Diablo franchize before
going to work on Torchlight: Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer were the co-founders of
Blizzard North, and the experience they had probably helped them to make a great game
from the first try.
Sadly Runic Studios were closed in 2017 and creates no more.
Torchlight 2
Oh yeah, the more handsome brother who gets all the girls is here, and by girls I mean
you my fellow nerds.
Here you will find tons of different enemies, not just color or size swaps, in example,
different species has different kind of blood.
Here you will find tons loot and nice plot.
It has really cool details and most of the environment objects can be smashed or interacted
with.
The only problem I see with this game is that it can be boring until the second half of
the first act.
Just like in Diablo 2, where you get your best spells at about level 24, here it also
takes a little while to grind up to a level with a respectable amount of spells, weapons
and abilities.
Game has multiplayer, so you can play with your friends or mother.
Game also has great music, endless gameplay and is almost free of bugs.
That is shocking, because most of the games in this huge list isn’t.
Also, like its older brother Torchlight 2 can be proud of a huge mod collection, meaning
that by using them you can prolong your fun.
That’s what she said.
Sacred 2 Gold
There are three Sacred games, but only the first two are considered as good, because
after release of the third one this franchize has died.
Sacred 2 is far from perfect, it is filled with a boring sidequests and you can feel
the general oldness of the game, but graphics are still nice to this day, so it will probably
not bend your eyes inside out like many other older games.
In example I tried to add a lot of games I liked when I was a teenager to this list – but
after a few tries my eyes started to bleed and fell out on the floor [*screaming*].
That will not happen if you try Sacred Gold 2 or even it’s older brother Sacred Gold.
Main issue here is that game is not very compatible with Windows 10.
There are many comments about game not running at all and ruining someone's day.
But don’t worry, you can find instructions how to run it, but it’s a lot of work, so
buy this game on Windows 10 only if you’re ready to sink some time in it.
And about time sinking – if you like this game you gonna sink a lot of, so be sure you
have plenty to waste.
Champions of Norrath
This game is PlayStation 2 only, but with modern emulators anyone can run this on PC,
so because of that, and because I got several requests to do so, apparently people still
love this game, I’m putting Champions of Norrath on my list.
Game was designed by Paul Knutzen and legendary Chris Avellone – a man who who worked with
the games such as Icewind Dale, Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights 2, Planescape: Torment
and Fallout: New Vegas.
With a star like you have try really hard to make a game that sucks.
And it does not.
Here you can see a gameplay that has been played and filmed on PC, that’s why it looks
way better than you expect from a game that was released 15 years ago on a console.
The game features 5 different classic character classes, such as barbarian or wizard and the
gameplay is also familiar to Diablo players, in example when your inventory is full, you
just teleport to town and sell everything.
Almost all weapons and armor are upgradeable with the help of special jewells, but in general
nothing new in this field.
And now let’s talk about amazing scenario of this game.
“Tell us, How did you created such a wonderful screenplay?”
“I was thinking for days, drank a lot of vodka, ate a lot of potato salad with marinated
herring and then It just came to me.
I was like WOW “What did you wrote, what is the main plot
of this game?”
“There is a demon, and you have to kill it”
“Wow.
Just wow” So, nothing that great, but the game itself
is really fun to play and that is the main thing of every game.
If you have time, grab this game and immerse yourself in the world of Norrath.
Dungeon Siege 2
Game came out in 2005 so, If you want yours to look like this one you have to apply Widescreen
mod, because otherwise you gonna be disappointed.
But if you installed the mod - you’re good to go.
Game itself is awesome.
As one of the commentators on Steam said: everything that makes a fantasy action game
fun to play you will find in this game: gorgeous artwork, evocative soundtrack, user friendly
interface, great loot, secret rooms, interesting quests and fully customizable characters.
What else could you want?
EEe... maybe it would be a cool thing if your mouse worked?[stamp sound DS1.jpg Ds2.jpg]
Yeah, game has a lot of compatibility problems with modern day PC’s, but I managed to fix
almost every problem with a bit of googling.
In example I found how to fix mouse cursor bug here on youtube, from a video made in
2018, so you’re not alone, but before buying, read the comments, try to find bug fixes and
if you do – go on, enjoy this amazing game.
It costs 7 euros on Steam and on a sale you can get it for 2 or 3, so it’s not big of
a loss anyway if something bad happens.
Warhammer 40 000: Inquisitor-Martyr
This game has mixed reviews on Steam and Metacritic, some of the people praise the game as great,
and some say this is a garbage.
I included it in this list not because it’s very good, but because it’s different and
that might catch your attention.
Let me start from the price – despite being released in 2018 June, it still costs 50 euros.
That is a lot.
That is actually 10 bottles of cheap vodka.
The price probably is one of the things inspiring all those negative comments.
Because if you pay 50 euros for a game, you wish that you get something really good.
But instead of that you realize that you need a gamepad to play this game on your PC without
problems, because playing with keyboard and mouse is pretty terrible.
Another thing is innovativeness.
Creators tried to make something different for sake of doing just something different,
meaning they reinvented the wheel again and this wheel of theirs is a square.
A good example, of that, as I mentioned before while talking about gamepad, is you can't
simply just use the left mouse button to swing a sword while moving with WASD keys.
No.
Instead your hero will randomly move in different directions as you click to attack.
As one commentator said about that “This causes severe strain on your hand and in the
high difficulty settings can quickly get your character killed ending in mission failure.”
So, nothing great in that field, but let’s talk about why this game is in this list.
Why this game is good.
As you can see the action of Inquisitor-Martyr evolves in really dark, gritty, gothic grim
dystopian future where you travel through the innards of Gothic class ship named Martyr.
And the gameplay, the main thing of every game, is highly addictive, it will burn tens
or even hundreds of your hours way quicker than vodka does.
Even negative reviewievers spend many hours ingame.
Look at that.
Nearly 200 hours.
Or this one.
300.
Really?
On a game you don’t even like?
I have spent about 120 hours in Witcher 3 and I love that game.
So, jokes aside, if you find this game on a sale, give it a try.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
What a beautiful game this is.
That’s what I thought when I first saw the gameplay and I was totally right – gothic,
steampunky graphics of Van Helsing are really good and the gameplay itself is quite entertaining.
Here you will get 50 hours of campaign gameplay, huge variety of skills, six playable classes,
tower defense mini game, daily quests and weekly events, multiplayer and Hunter’s
Lair - a place where you can stash collected loot and trade with NPC’s.
To be short - it’s almost Diablo 3 just in another universe.
Angry people are talking that the game is full of bugs and is unbalanced, but they say
that on almost every game.
But... one terrible thing draw my attention (van 1, van 2).
Allegedly game does not save your progress.
I don’t if it’s a temporary bug or a huge issue, but please, be careful.
I’m not recommending to buy a game with anything like that.
So, let’s hope they’ll fix it, because it’s a great game and it would be a pity
if it died like that.
There, the main list is over, but don’t go anywhere, I have more titles to share in
a quick sequence.
These are the games you should also look into:
Deathspank The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
Mythos Hades
Book of Demons Chronicon
Dungeon Hunter 5 Revenant
Darkspore Lost Ark (MMO)
Kult: Heretic Kingdoms
