Want to try a new Action RPG that's not Diablo, discuss or list your favorites or some more obscure ones to try out.

I have some bad news for you, there are no new retro games they stopped making them in 2007

Do the D&D beat-em-ups count?

sacred gold if you want a straight up diablo clone
the divinity games are also a cool mix of arpg combat and more traditional RPG fundamentals

Divine Divinity is great. Can also try Nox although I've not spent a great deal with it

Hexplore is simple but fun. And the rotatable isometric voxel graphics are very soulful.

Diablo but like 15 years earlier.

Champions of Norath
Champions: Return to Arms
Dark Alliance 1&2

Looking for diablo clones specifically?
The Fate games are goofy. The inheritance mechanic for gear adds a lot of replayability, and it's full of that turn of the century jank.
Din's Curse is great. Looks like shit, plays like sin, but is weirdly amazing. The city mechanics are peak.
The dungeon siege games have the most interesting party system in the genre.

Perfect recommendations. If you have a friend willing to play with you absolutely get him in. Even if he's clueless about RPGs these are extremely accessible and easy to get into.

Dungeon Siege. It’s like what if an ARTS was actually an auto battler.

I played this recently and had a decent amount of fun with it. I liked playing the warrior, his abilities were fun and just the fact that you don't have a random chance to miss your hits made him feel a lot better to play than I expected. I would definitely recommend it.

Ys Oath in Felghana is a fun, action RPG from Falcom. It has a fixed, zoomed out camera, with a 3D world and sprite based characters. it's a fast paced action hack and slash with some upgrades, some magic, and really fun boss fights.

If you want action, I second >>12890883
If you want more Diablo-like, I had fun with Throne of Darkness that adds party-based gameplay and with Titan Quest.

Try Phantasy Star Online. It's kind of like a sci-fi Diablo in 3D. The core gameplay loop is like Diablo, (running through dungeons, killing monsters in waves, and watching rare weapons, armor, and stat-boosting items drop on the ground), but Instead of an isometric point-and-click view, PSO is a third-person 3D action game. You aim, move, and swing in real-time rather than clicking to walk and attack. There are private servers still hosting the game, the most popular one is named Ephinea. It's where I play.

try Titanquest. pretty fun one in a setting you don't see too often. not as many skills as diablo but that's ok. also has a fuckload of expansions.

>>12889978
i can only recommend those games if you're playing with a friend. otherwise they are inferior to diablo 1/2 in every way.
