Dungeon Siege vs Robothorium
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
Robothorium
Robothorium is a fairly old-school style, turn-based dungeon crawler/RPG that’s set in a far futuristic world where an impending “world war” is about to break out among the machines and humans. The game features team management, where you'll get to level up, upgrade and equip every robot in your team just so you can take on tougher enemies later down the road, and plenty of fun loot management, just like what you'd find in any good dungeon crawler.Combat-wise, the game has a pretty typical turn-based gameplay where special skills are regulated and offset by basic attack skills via the Overload system in order to prevent players from spamming them. Robothorium also provides a PvP arena for those who are more competitive and want to pit their team against other teams in their attempt to climb the ranks of the leaderboard.
Overall, I'd say Robothorium is a pretty decent turn-based, dungeon crawler-style RPG that's not only fun to play; it is also the sort of game that will make you really think about your actions since there are both immediate consequences, in the form of reputation gain or loss, as well as other consequences that will emerge later down the line.
