Hello, and welcome from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeerHD and this PART 2 of Top
25 games like Diablo.
If you missed the first part, it doesn’t matter, there is no difference where to begin,
watch this video freely, you will find a link to other parts in the description below and
also at the end of this video.
Diablo 2 Median XL
What is more like Diablo than Diablo itself?
Have you ever heard about Median XL mod for Diablo 2?
Well, it sounds silly, because mods usually change small things, but this one is like
whole new Diablo.
Or in other words: a whole new world of evil grew as we wept.
It completely redesigns the game starting from a large number of unique skills on every
character.
Each class comes with 30 brand new abilities and 5 reward skills which is obtained by overcoming
challenges in the game.
You can experiment wit h many unique builds, such as Crossbow Necromancer, Melee Sorceress,
Treewarden Druid or Vodka Assassin.
Ok, I may have invented the last one.
Or did I?
Nevertheless, this is not all you get by all means.
What was the most important thing in Diablo 2?
Of course finding great items, so in Median XL you will get thousands of brand new items
by killing monsters or bosses and also by crafting things.
There is so much diversity that you can easily build unique characters focusing on item-only
skills.
And after finishing the game you will get more that 40 quests to test your characters
might – as creators say “Your character reached Hell difficulty?
You’re just getting started”.
In one quest you can even play as Diablo itself.
So, in other words, if you never tried this mod, you can rediscover Diablo 2 again.
Oh, did I mentioned new areas?
Yes, there are new areas in the game too.
Of course, because it’s a mod, you will have to own a copy of Lord of Destruction
in order to play Median XL.
You will find a link to the mod in the description below.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard.
On Steam there is a lot of negative comments surrounding this game because of bugs, allegedly
weird mechanics and repetitiveness, but nevertheless, this game is really fun to play!
At least for a huge part of not so picky gaming community.
Here blood splatters everywhere while you tear through the enemies in amazing environments.
Yes all graphics and art, looks really great.
I also have to mention wonderful music, it really gives you that viking-vibe while playing
the game.
I even tried to paint an epic viking scene of a warrior riding his noble steed to the
battle and slashing enemies like butter while I was listening to this music.
I’ve got wonderful results, please take a look.
As talking about combat it feels a bit slow... like a sloth, but it's really not that big
of an issue - you will get used to it very quick.
But in general, please, before buying - read the comments, because they are all really
mixed.
And by that I mean, that one man is saying that he's playing Vikings with his girlfriend
and having a great time, and other dude with the similar comment nearby is pointing out
how bad his experience was while he was playing this game with his fiance.
On Steam, on a sale, you can get Vikings for 7-8 euros and probably even cheaper on the
gog.com So, I do recommend getting this game on a sale.
Space Siege
There is a great chance that you have never heard about it.
You can’t find this game on Steam or GOG, but you can still buy it on Amazon.
I included this game because I wanted to show you something different, but still in the
same mood of hack n slash.
Except that here you shoot and loot.
Oh, it even rhymes.
Game is described as a tactical combat action, but as you can see the main survival tactic
you can use here – do not stand in a line of fire.
And that’s about it.
Game’s story is basic and predictable, but hey, you can say the same about many other
similar games.
Evil conquered the world and you have to get rid of it, in this instance the world is the
spaceship and you have to kill stupid aliens.
You move by using WASD keys on your keyboard, because moving and also aiming with the mouse
at the same time would be really difficult.
In general, this game will give you a few days of great time, but it will also get old
really quick.
Anyway, few great days for less than 15 dollars is quite acceptable price.
In a city where I live, in Vilnius, for that price you can buy two tickets to see a new
movie in 3D.
But movie will last only for a few hours.
So it’s up to you.
Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms
A lot of people wrote me and asked me to put this game into the list.
Actually Heretic Kingdoms looks really cool, I would say exactly like third Diablo cool.
Deserts, jungles, dungeons... you name it, everything will give you flashbacks to the
Blizzard’s game.
But the game itself is not a clone or something, no, it has some cool features.
The main one is the story.
Game took a different path and instead of oversimplified story they made really interesting
one.
I’m not saying that the story is something like in, let’s say, Baldur’s Gate, but
it’s good enough for you to immerse in it and enjoy it while playing.
Let me mention the fact that you can switch between the worlds in there.
That is so cool.
Voice acting is also really good.
Sadly game has some technical difficulties: bugs and glitches are not so incommon, so
be ready for that.
Game was overshadowed by release of Reaper of Souls, so it probably made way less sales
than expected and maybe because of that they lacked money for the support.
I don’t know for sure, I might be wrong, but I think it’s a good guess.
Also I have found out that Steam version lacks some content from Retail version.
That is bad.
Anyway, I would recommend getting this game on a sale, because it’s a bit expensive
for the reviews it gets.
But it’s a great Action RPG game and it must stay in your radar.
Silverfall
This is not a greatest action RPG ever made, but it is still a game worth mentioning in
this list.
Game gave us a ton of mobs to kill and a ton loot to get, all that while you improve your
character.
Nothing innovative.
But hey, when you drink vodka or whiskey next time, or rakija or mescal or whatever you
drink in your country, you would never say that “hey this vodka tastes the same as
the last vodka”.
No, it doesn’t matter.
Things that work well... let them work.
People are saying that Silverfall reminds them of more open version of Diablo 2 or Sacred,
a great game that will be mentioned in the next part of this list, that’s for sure.
Silverfall has few down points: one of them that the game is really hard at the beginning
while you do not have powerful area of effect spells, also it has weak story and poor interface.
But, anyway, this game is worth trying, it costs 10 euros on Steam and I would say this
is the fair price for this game.
Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition
This is a true gem and if you never tried to play it, I envy you.
Game doesn't look that good at the beginning where in a yellowish environment you go to
kill some crows, but after a while you start to feel the same vibes you felt when playing
Diablo for the first time.
In your huge inventory you can stash a lot of different loot and killing of mobs feels
really good.
Nice death animations, nice sounds, everything is nice here.
Epic feeling of the campaign, ancient mythology, amazing boss fights, tons of loot, 10 classes,
co-op mode, great music and included Immortal Throne expansion makes this game one of the
best action RPG’s ever made.
That’s my game al right.
Oh yeah, but of course It has some downsides, some bugs and glitches that never been fixed
despite the fact that for the first time game was released in 2006.
So, plenty of time to make some tinkering.
Magicka 2
You can play this alone, or you can play Magicka 2 with friends, which is way better experience.
Playing Magicka alone is like eating herring alone without onions, hot potatoes and a shot
of crystal clear vodka you just bought from Lidl.
Playing Magicka 2 alone is ok, but if you have a friend - make him play Magicka with
you.
Just call your friend and say, hey friend, take your laptop and come to my place, here
is a party with girls [phone 1-40].
And after friend believes you and comes over, just lock the door and say “haha”.
Friend will ask, where the girls are and then after realizing he was tricked by your ingenious
plan he will try to leave.
It’s time for you to go open the fridge and take from it bottle of cold delicious
vodka.
After your friend sees and tastes it, that’s it – he is officially tamed and will play
Magicka 2 with you.
Oh, I forgot to talk about game itself.
Here you can combine hundreds of spells and make new powerful ones.
Cool feature, while playing with friends, is that friendly fire is always on, meaning
you can accidentally kill your friend while trying to kill enemies.
That is funny I promise.
That’s it, PART 2 of this list is over.There will be one more part in the future.
