Torchlight 1 and 2, Titan Quest and Path of Exile are my favorites (and they are all inexpensive, with Path of Exile being free).
All Diablo clones are petty bad compared to Diablo 1. Even DII doesn't really hold a candle to D1. I would recommend forgetting about playing a good Diablo clone because there aren't any out there. Some of them have got the mechanics down (such as POE) but fail in everything else. Most Diablo clones don't have any good elements of the original Diablo at all, and this includes Torchlight 1 and 2 which are just cartooney loot fests.
While not clones, Torchlight 1+2 offer similar game play. Only played Path of Exile for about an hour, I found it pretty 'meh'.

Coming this summer to a pc near u from the creaters of titan quest...A new diablo clone that will test time in itself an become a legend..
Ya but I have my hopes up. I don't know how much of the TQ crew is left but I enjoyed the hell out of that game.For as long as it's been taking Grim Dawn better be good.

Path of exile is the only ARPG like diablo that I would reccommend, they just added some new leagues and had a ladder reset this is the best time to give it a shot. Look up some popular builds for your first character till you get the hang of it, building your character wrong can ruin the game for you and turn you off.

I finially made a build that is fun and works well, having a blast with this game.
Torchlight 1 & 2, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, Path of Exile, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Krater (weird take on the ARPG genre, I would check up on it before you buy), Nox, Divine Divinity, and Din's Curse.
What exactly does Diablo 1 have that makes it superior to D2? or any other Diablo type game.All Diablo clones are petty bad compared to Diablo 1. Even DII doesn't really hold a candle to D1.

Torchlight 2, Titan Quest, Sacred 1 & 2, and Nox. All are pretty close to Diablo style of gameplay.slabber44
Titan quest is the best Diablo clone...Nox is a classic...Sacred 2 is good(iam still playing it)...but Torchlight 2
..pff, is a joke of a game not good at all.
Path of Exile is also a good choice, decent game.
[QUOTE="ShimmerMan"]What exactly does Diablo 1 have that makes it superior to D2? or any other Diablo type game.  That's an easy one.  Atmosphere. The only things I really liked about the Diablo games were the mood, style, and music and they drifted in the wrong direction for Diablo 2.  I'm sure it was even worse for D3 from what I've seen/heard.

Would be cool to play a more substantial rpg in the setting of a Diablo 1 though.
Sadly this game is NOT for everyone... Messy skill tree , messy gems and how game works drove me away after 13-14 hours in game . Game makes everything too complicated for newcomers for its own good.. Thats what most people like about it and that what most people dont at the same time.... I played almost every single Action RPG there is , 8 years straight d2 lover also... I really liked the Torchlight games etc ... But i couldnt find what i was looking for in PoE sadly.... too complicated and messy for its own good.Path of exile

Atmosphere, that game lays it on ridiculously think compared to all the other ARPGs I've played. I would go as far as to say it carried the game for me through the game when I finally finished it last year.
