What's a good recent Diablo clone? I reeeaaally want to play Diablo 3, but the always-online DRM is still too big a hurdle to overcome for me to actually lay down some money.
Grim Age is one I'm keeping an eye on, though it isn't finished yet and has about another chapter to be added still. Being made by the people who made Titan Quest. I haven't played it as I'm waiting for it to be finished.
"The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing" is pretty fun as well, though it's rather short all up and your character has a max level of 30. You can import your character into the second (level cap of 60) and third games but there's the downside, buying three games.
It has an endless mode where your character keeps fighting against stronger and stronger opponents, there's also a tower defence type game where you defend against waves using traps and your character.
Another bit of annoyance is that two classes and an upgrade to your constant follower (A ghost) are available as DLC. They're not too expensive so all together it costs about $25.00 USD including the base game.
I haven't played the 2nd and 3rd instalments of TIAOVH.
I would still recommend looking into Sacred 2. It's silly and could be difficult to run (I have stuttering lag since I updated to Windows 64bit.
Since fixed, turning off PhysX or somesuch called thing in graphic settings in game solved the problem.) but the scope of the game world and variety is quite impressive. There is a community patch that fixes bugs and adds new content.
