Path of Exile

Path of Exile is probably the most well-known entry on this list. It’s taken a few years, but PoE is now a massive, fully-fledged alternative to Diablo, and an exceptionally deep experience in its own right. Better yet, it manages to take the formula laid out by games like Diablo and turn it into one of the best MMOs on PC. Even more impressive is the fact that it’s free-to-play with a model that’s about as fair as they come. There are countless PoE builds and styles of play to experiment with, and developer Grinding Gear Games is constantly updating the game with massive expansions every few months, not to mention the upcoming Path of Exile 2 release date.

Lost Ark

Perhaps most impressively, Lost Ark manages to deliver cinematic levels of scope and spectacle throughout its main story, with large-scale battles that feel like something out of Lord of the Rings. And that scale extends to the amount of roleplaying options available to you: nearly 20 Lost Ark classes across five archetypes, 60 levels to work through, pets, housing, crafting, and much more to master. If you want a game to consume your life like Diablo once did, then Lost Ark is the closest you’ll get.

Titan Quest

Titan Quest might be on the older side when compared to the other entries on this list, but there’s no denying its standing as one of the best ARPGs. From the minds of Brian Sullivan and Randall Wallace, Titan Quest offers a refreshing change of scenery from the post-apocalyptic horrors that games like Diablo often attempt to emulate. Instead of hell, Titan Quest transports you to the Ancient World mythologies, where you are tasked by the gods to defeat the Titans rampaging across the earth. Along the way, you can expect to encounter epic heroes, such as Achilles and Odysseus, and traverse mythic locations like the River Styx and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

V Rising

The combat is where V Rising’s resemblance to Diablo truly shines through. Its open world is brimming with bosses, and slaying them often bestows powerful weapons and spell upgrades. The combat UI is a dead ringer for Diablo, with a quick cast skills bar and the quintessential life orb, albeit with another twist: feeding on enemies doesn’t just restore your life, it also grants additional buffs dependent upon the enemy you’re feeding off, draining their power. V Rising is a fun survival game both while playing solo and with friends, but it’s definitely earned its place on our list of games like Diablo.

Victor Vran

Victor Vran has you playing as the titular demon hunter on a quest to wipe out evil and whatnot, standard stuff story-wise. It’s got an excellent level of customization regarding abilities, weapons, and skills, with plenty of directions you can take your demon-hunting build-in. Everything is viewed from an isometric, top-down perspective so if you’re a veteran of older RPG games then you should have absolutely no issue adapting to Victor Vran.

Borderlands

The Borderlands series is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something that scratches the same itch as Diablo in terms of loot spilling forth from every enemy you slay. There are heaps of nods to Diablo-likes, including loot-hoarding minions, rarity tiers, and classes that you can min-max whichever way you want.

Book of Demons

Book of Demons probably has arguably the strongest aesthetic on this list. It’s all designed to look like a pop-up book, the kind you’d read when you were younger, or maybe the ones you read to your children or younger siblings. But it also deserves some plaudits for twisting Diablo’s hack-and-slash gameplay into a deck-building hybrid.

Torchlight II

Torchlight 2 is a slightly more colorful take on the Diablo formula but make no doubt: this is an ARPG for veteran dungeon-crawlers just like Diablo. It’s got all of the same mechanics and components that have made the genre what it is, but you can do extra things like sending your pet to the market to sell off your loot on your behalf.

Inquisitor - Martyr

If you’ve always wanted a game like Diablo set in the Warhammer 40,000 world then this really is the best option currently available. Inquisitor – Martyr has you choosing between an assassin, psychic, or armor-clad brute battling against the horrors of the 40k universe as one of the agents of the Imperium. The voice acting is about as dramatically overwrought as you’d expect of the 40K license, and there’s plenty of monolithic imperial-gothic architecture to gawp at as you fight to eliminate the corruption.

Warhammer: Chaosbane

It may not boast a Diablo game’s robust endgame or sharp controls, but Warhammer: Chaosbane is a superb action-RPG for as long as the main story lasts. You pick between five classic Warhammer classes and guide your chosen hero through a campaign that’s stained pus-yellow campaign by nasty Nurgle, smashing, cleaving, and burning through minions in dank sewers, embattled towns, and on castle ramparts.

Grim Dawn

As with any ARPG worth its salt, you get to choose a class, but what makes Grim Dawn different, is the ability to combine classes together to make a hybrid of your own. Add to that hundreds of item skills and you begin to see just how versatile Grim Dawn’s class system is. If you enjoy abyssal landscapes and inventing builds then Grim Dawn is absolutely for you.
