iippo: Trying to think up older such games and couldnt quickly come up with anything else except The Summoning and Veil of Darkness which came out couple years before Diablo 1 ...but they are very different game really, despite the similar isometric look and the fact that both have combat + magic.

They are actually proper adventure/rpg's unlike more streamlined and action oriented diablo's after all.

Does someone else remember better? Was Diablo 1 really the first game to do "graphical Nethack with focus on random loot"? It certainly made to genre strictly its own.

I do prefer the atmosphere of Diablo 1, but Diablo 2 has the better gameplay.

And a more variety of classes.

Diablo 1 had the generic Warrior/Fighter, Mage/Wizard, Rogue/Archer.

Try Diablo 1 - Beelzebub, a properly enhanced HD Mod for Diablo 1:

My 2 cents (coming from a huge diablo 1 and 2 fan)

Path of Exile probably takes the cake as the closest thing to a diablo sequel (imo closer than diablo 3)

Sacred 1 and 2 deserve a shout out for being their own unique and quirky world while keeping some of the diablo like elements, I enjoyed both games.

Same goes for Divnity series, definitely worth checking those, but don't feel exactly like a diablo clone.

Titan Quest is a great game and maintains a solid diablo feel, but the lack of gore always bugged me, haha.

NOX doesn't really have a diablo feel to it, but it is a solid ARPG and definitely worth a play through or 3 (each character has their own story/game walkthrough if I remember correctly)

Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 are worth a look. Like others have said, DS1's gameplay is pretty simplified, but I still enjoyed it when it came out, and DS2 was much improved and feels like a legit diablo clone.

Dark Stone was one of the original diablo clones, worth a look.

Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other about Soulbringer?

Dzsono: There have been a lot of mentions of Titan Quest in this thread. I agree with this suggestion. There were murmurs that it would make its way to GOG this year. Anyone know anything further?

timppu: I presume those dreams were put to hold for now, as Nordic Games left GOG due to disagreements with pricing. Let's get back to that if and when Nordic Games comes back.

I was looking forward to buy the game from GOG, even though I have it + the expansion pack from Steam.
What was weird for me was the availability of Titan Quest on Gamersgate "DRM-free" while Nordic was still with GOG. Why did they get it and we didn't? Maybe there's a better chance now that GOG is more "flexible" in its pricing...

Titan Quest on GOG, that would be great.

Because there ain't mention of it yet: ShadowFlare. Very underrated and well-praised Diablo-like from the turn of the millennium.

For games that play like Diablo, Sacred 1 and 2, and Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity. Both of those series are fun RPGs, but they are definitely more RPG than Diablo. The worlds aren't procedurally generated, and in Divine Divinity, the enemies don't respawn. Sacred 1 and 2 are pretty beastly though.
