Just saw te Infinity blade dungeons gameplay...and with Diablo 3, was trying to remember any good game that follows the exloration of dungeons similar to Diablo. Any option better than a Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft?
http://revision3.com/snapp/diablo3-like-games don't know it would help but Appjudgment shows top 3 games in iOS that are similar to Diablo 3 experience. 1. Dungeon Hunter 3 2. Devil Dark 3. Castle Master 3D (his favorite I guess) Castle Master 3D thread is here if you are interested... check it out! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=134415
the best one on gameplay terms and closest to the diablo 2 feeling graphically i'd prefer dungeon hunter 2 but gameplay > graphic
Definitely this. Underworlds was awesome, but both chapters only last about 2 hours together. The 3rd chapter never quite made it. Was great when it first came out over two years ago. It's a bit outdated now though. Not too many good dungeon crawlers on the iOS. Can't even name half a dozen really. If my MacBook Pro can run D3, Torchlight, etc, you can run those games on your PC for sure. Stick with those. There are enough good ones one the PS3/360 as well.
This guy's on drugs. Devil Dark, maybe close as far as the hack n' slash variety goes. But it's not the top-down Diablo style if that's what you're looking for. DH3 is ridiculous, but the first two DHs are comparable to Diablo. And Castle Master 3D? I hadn't heard of it until I read it here. Downloaded it and it's NOTHING like Diablo. It's more of a castle/empire building sim with some battles in between that I frankly didn't find enjoyable enough to work through the sim parts of the game. (Others may like that kind of thing, though) Thanks for bringing back up Underworlds. I had downloaded it long ago and don't think I ever played through it all. After giving it another whirl today, think I'm going to now. I need a Diablo-style iOS fix. I haven't played the iOS port, but I'd definately put The Bard's Tale on a list of Diablo type games. I got it on sale, but need to play through some things to make room for its massive size. Funny thing, I played The Bard's Tale back on my old Xbox and noticed when you start Underworlds one of the first missions -- like BT if I remember -- is going down into a cellar and killing rats. Just thought that was a too odd of a coincidence...maybe playing a bit of homage to it?
Wanted to add that Infinity Blade: Dungeons looks incredible and definately could fill a void in having a great Diablo-style hack n' slash on the iOS.
A lot of computer rpgs start out like that. Go to the cellar, kill some rats. Even Elder Scrolls Oblivion had a variation on it in one of its side quest. It's become an old joke of sorts because it's so common to see that as a first quest.
I'm always on the look out for Diablo-ish gameplay on iOS as well. Seems a hard thing to do justice to on any platform, which I think is evident from the D3 hype - a product of ten years of waiting for the next true Diablo fix. I did enjoy Dungeon Hunter on PS3 though, so maybe I'll give it a look on iPad.
Funny thing is, with the advancement of gaming even on the iOS, I don't think it would be that difficult to create a good hack n' slash in the vein of Diablo. Yes, Diablo III and it's graphical prowless, etc., maybe not. But the first Diablo game, Bauldur's Gate, etc., aren't games that are necessarily technical marvels. I think more games could be done in the genre and don't know why there aren't more.
Pocket RPG is the best Diablo clone I've found on iOS. It's pretty abbreviated in its scope, but it's still very satisfying from start to finish.
If you don't mind KRPG, Aurum Blade is the closest Diablo feel to me. Not sure why it does compared to all the other KRPG out there.
Definately a good pick that I overlooked. A bit different with the twin stick controls, but certainly a good, fun dungeon crawler. Also noteworthy. Yeah, it's bit more KRPG in appearance only, but is more of a dungeon crawler like Diablo in gameplay. More emphasis on loot over story. Multi-level dungeon as opposed to story-based venturing.
Wow...surprised no one mentioned The Relic. Not too bad of a dungeon crawler. Not the best, but the screen FILLS with enemies in every room. Gotta love that.
I just checked the App Store and this actually looks ok for a KRPG. What I want to know is if this is similar to Diablo in gameplay. By that I mean, is half the game talking to people in towns? I hate that so much. Haha I hate most RPGS, but Diablo is 95% action.
Very true! Actually in Bard's Tale it was intentionally making fun of all those RPG's that start out the same way IIRC... But you nailed it, there are a LOT of old WCRPG's (western computer roleplaying games) that start with that very premise of "weak" enemies to start off with. In fact in any western rpg from mid 2000's and back there is at least one mission of going into the cellar and killing the rats! Trust me, as a big time CRPG gamer I have seen it often enough to admit it is a joke and a staple of the genre!
It's mostly mindless button mashing when I played. There's only one town with a few npc.. I'm not sure why this game feels like Diablo to me..but I love the loot drops in this game.
