The Koalition writes: "To be clear, this list is in regards to isometric-styled hack-and-slash action RPGs. If you've ever played a Diablo game or anything like that, then you have a pretty good idea. There are lots of games and franchises in this genre, but it also seems to be one of the most under-represented each and every gaming generation. Releases are few and far between, but each successive title seems to always garner praise and success. One of the most iconic franchises in all of gaming - Diablo - basically started the entire subgenre and it's still going strong to this day. With Diablo III finally set to release on consoles soon, I thought this was a good time to take a look back at all of the best the action RPG genre has to offer this generation."
Definitely looking forward to Diablo III on consoles. Very anxious to see what has been added and taken away from the PC version.
I enjoyed Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile should be on the list.
POE is very hard!
Dark Souls is not in the ARPG genre.
It has action of course but ARPG is something else.
Do explain sir...i've been calling them all Action RPGs up until now.
An RPG with real time combat...is what I have been calling ARPGS.
Good article. A bit sparse, it would have been nice to hear a bit more detail about each game instead of a short, basic description.
But good. I enjoyed the read.
Yeah more detail would have been better, maybe some information about *really* makes them different besides the setting and whatnot. It's tough to get too detailed and keep the list relatively brief, though.
Thanks for reading!
Author is it in that order?
If so I would pick Diablo 1,2,3 as first three. Everything else comes after.
This article was focused on only this generation of consoles as a year-range, so Diablo I & II were excluded :)
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is made by an UK-based gaming company “Ascaron.” It Is a prequel to Sacred which sets about 2000 years before the events of Sacred, the prequel has a lot more than Sacred, but does that mean Sacred 2 can top off the Diablo series or It will just stay to the “Diablo Clone” status?
Digitally Downloaded writes: "So you might be playing Diablo III. Or you might be seeing the number 37 in your nightmares right now. But either way it’s hard to deny there’s a thrill to the hack-and-slash lootfests that the original Diablo made so popular, and has been imitated so many times since.
But perhaps you have an old PC, or you stick to playing games on consoles. Well, never fear, you can still be looting along with everyone else. "
This guy is screwed in the head, the best dark ARPG/hack n slash/dungeon crawler atm is Path of Exile and the only game that looks good enough to compete with it is Grim Dawn but that is not even in close beta yet, the games those guy suggest suck big time some of them look really horrible like they r from the 90's, article fail beyond measure.
Patch it up bro
just got off this game.
The patch released but the online is still sh!tty. Just tonight (the patch released yesterday in the afternoon), i have been disconnected 6 times within 10 minutes, then a disconnection every 15~20 minutes. When playing with 2 other friends, one player is muted for no reason every two minutes.
And since the patch, i have experienced online bugs i didn't before the patch. When i am not disconnected, the character remains stuck and the world freezes, whereas the other player keep going. We're still talking with mic but i can't move anymore. The only way to get out of here is to launch a magic skill, but i get disconnected few seconds after.
So yeah, the patch is pretty useless honestly, especially when you see how much buggy remains the quests.
what about xbox 360 ? !!!!!
Was so mad about not being able to trade stuff between players on the same console game.
