oh my god I think may be wanting to play a MMORPG

UPDATE: After adding Hellgate London to the list below I suddenly thought that the gameplay I've been seeking seems similar to the gameplay of MMORPGs, perhaps due to a sense of progression or repetition. In the past I used to decidedly reject any and all MMO games outright. Could it be prejudice?

When talking about Diablo clones, most mention games like Dungeon Siege, Titan Quest and Torchlight. There is also a subgenre that takes several aspects of roguelikes - exploration, looting, leveluping, randomization - and sticks it into genres where combat involves more than clicking on monsters until they die. They also tend to be boring, sh***y, addictive, and rare. If you can recommend more games like this or name the genre you're incredible.

Borderlands

DungeonDoom (Doom 3 mod)

Hellgate: London

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi

Spelunky (2D platformer)

AlienShooter?

alien shooter: vengance. the coolest blend of borderlands and diablo x-play doesnt hand out 4/5's very often to no-name games so its likely the only review i would give any attention to. the rest in the franchise you can ignore. you can also ignore the zombie shooter franchsie but the latest revision.

its made in a clone of an engine similar to fallout 2. its a beast of a game

oh almsot forgot. do try out alien swarm. its best (and easiest) played with another firned or three in co-op. its basically squad and class based alien shooter. it has some pretty satisfying gameplay. but dying REALLY sucks

Wait, why is FarCry 2 in a roguelike thread?Black_Knight_00

If it has random terrain, or emergently shifting rival territories, or an infinitude of randomly generated quests and unlockable gear, then it's right up this thread's alley.the_hitman_guy

... Diablo 3? Randomized dungeons and the combat is more evolved than the previous games.

I don't see why there is mention of roguelike in this thread. None of the listed games so far have anything to do with roguelike games as such games are vastly different.XIntoTheBlue
