Dungeon Siege vs Grim Dawn
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.
Grim Dawn
Grim Dawn is set in a apocalyptic fantasy world where humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction. The game features an in-depth character development and progression, allowing you to combine any of the six unique classes to from a dual class character, using the game's Devotion system to unlock powerful secondary effects for your skills, as well as equip a wide variety of weapons and armor, each of which can be further enhanced.The hack-and-slash combat in this game is incredibly visceral as well, making it very satisfying to slay your enemies. There are even factions that you can curry favor with and quests that have outcomes depending on your choices while you lend a hand to help various huamn enclaves to rebuild the world. Grim Dawn can also be played via its multiplayer mode (up to 4 players), which will give you challenges that emphasize more strongly on teamwork.
In short, Grim Dawn is, as claimed by many, one of the best ARPGs of all time. Many people have went as far as to say that this game is so much better than Diablo 3. So, if you've played games like Diablo 3 before and thought they were good, well, once you play this game, you'll have your mind completely blown by how amazing this is. No joke!
