Looking for a good dungeon crawler

Haha so ive never played a dungeon crawler (WoW count?) anyways I loved WoW because I could lvl up my character get sick gear and be cool classes. But I didnt like paying $15 a month so im looking for a offline MMO and I LOVE loot lol. And I really like talent tree's. (Thanks!)

We really could use a rpgrecommendation thread..Every other day some one posts about this..Not that theres any thing wrong with it..Wish amod would just make one already..Titan quest you should try..Diablo 3 is close to being released..

Dungeon Siege, Torchlight and Titan Quest are all good games in the genre. Sacred is good, and Sacred 2 is decent enough but flawed. I preferred all of those games over the Diablo series, which just failed to grab my interest for some reason. I'll also suggest Divine Divinity (the first one) here, which is actually a bit of a deeper RPG.

I'm also keeping my eye on a couple of games in development: Grim Dawn by Crate Entertainment (from some of the same devs who made Titan Quest), and strangely (for me) a F2P online game called Path Of Exile, from an indie dev called Grinding Gear Games. That one looks to be shaping up pretty well, and the skill tree is freaking huge.

And for some old school dungeon crawling, the upcoming Legend of Grimrock seems to be an homage to games like Eye Of The Beholder.

Nox

Din's Curse

Fate

Wizardry 6-8 . You can take your party the whole way through.

I hated every minute of torchlight but i think you will love it, its an INSANE dungeon crawler.

I would highly recommend Icewinda Dale. It's Baldurs Gate "lite". More focused on fighting. Excellent game! Play it with the widescreen mod.

Torchlight is lots of fun or hold out for Diablo 3. And if you want to see where it all began get hold of a copy of 'Gauntlet' it is still fun even tho it is 25+ years old.

We should have an extensive game recommendation thread, stickied for posterity. Anyone up for the job?

I 2nd Icewind Dale, it's a slaughter of wave after wave of enemies.

Divinity II: Dragon Knight Saga

Dungeon Siege III (I personally enjoyed this game)

OP, do you want a action/looting game like game like Diablo, Titan Quest, Torchlight, Dungeon Seige, Sacred... ? Or do you want more of a tactical rpg like Icewind Dale, Wizardry or Temple of Elemental Evil ? They call these games dungeon crawlers because they're not heavy on the story/party banter/dialog as much as other contemporary rpgs. ( More combat orientated adventures )

You realy have 2 different types of games ppl are recommending to you here.

D&D games are a bit hard to get into if the TC hasn't played anything related to D&D before. The best, most simple game would be Titan Quest or Diablo 2.

A real dungeon crawler? Eye of the Beholder or Might and Magic: World of Xeen

Action RPG? Titan Quest.

Good Old Games is having a massive sale on the D&D games. If the OP wants a more tactical set of games that has some leveling and gear but is not the emphasis there is no better set of games. Icewind Dale (2 is OK but I wouldn't recommend it), Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, and Neverwinter Nights. The manual makes all of them but Icewind Dale cake.

ultima underworld, a real dungeon crawler

Diablo II is easily the king. Torchlight is a good singleplayer game like Diablo, and Torchilght II comes out later this year (no confirmed release date). DIablo III comes out early next year.

No, i disagree. I got into Baldurs Gate when it came out, and that one is much more complicated than IWD. I don't think TC would have any problems.

Din's Curse is spectacular.

anyone else think torchlight is overrated?

To me all those hack and slash/action rpgs get repitive and boring. They are a little more tolerable if you play co-op with a friend/ or friends though. If i'm playing alone it's tactical rpgs all the way though.

Titan Quest. I've sunk a lot of hours into it.

Fun game.
