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?
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.
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.
Author is it in that order?
If so I would pick Diablo 1,2,3 as first three. Everything else comes after.

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.

It’s partly because of the timing of the release date announcement (no nine-month waits here) and partly because it is, after all, Diablo. The open beta this previous weekend kept me pretty busy and raised my level of excitement more than I should admit. But in the meantime, where do I scratch my loot hunting itch? Well, there are a surprising number of titles that can do just that and I’ll cover a chunk of newer and older titles in this article.
Lots of great options in this list... I wonder if they'll all hear crickets chirp on May 15.
That's right, just under a month now. I still desperately need to upgrade my graphics card before then!
Playing SWTOR. Will still be playing SWTOR come May 15th, but perhaps not as frequently for a few weeks.
Once I get a proper gaming rig, Diablo III is going to be my first purchase. I feel like I'll be missing out on something special with this game.
