4 lesser-known ARPGs like Diablo 4

1) Grim Dawn

This Grim Dark fantasy adventure does everything that it says on the cover. It has a dark story, in-depth character-building mechanics, a vast world, and so much more. Although the world may feel a little cliche with the same old dark creatures taking control after an apocalyptic event, the story of Grim Dawn truly deserves a shot.

If you are a fan of Diablo 4, its dark setting, and the freedom of choice in terms of builds, then you should definitely give Grim Dawn a chance.

2) Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Imagine a world where the forces of nature have gone berserk, and you're the only one who can restore balance. Wolcen's innovative combat system puts a fresh spin on the genre, allowing you to unleash devastating combos with ease. Prepare to be dazzled by the game's stunning visuals and immersive storytelling.

Wolcen's vibes are very similar to Diablo. Both of the games have a top-down camera on player characters as well as a surpassed color theme. Even the enemy designs and some skills and attacks can give you the same feel as of Diablo 4.

3) Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr

Step into the grim darkness of the far future, where the only currency is bloodshed and heresy. Inquisitor – Martyr's dark setting and intense action will keep you glued to your screen for hours on end. You will get to slay hordes of daemons, upgrade your gear, and purge the galaxy of corruption – all in a day's work for an Inquisitor.

Based on the popular tabletop gaming franchise, Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor - Martyr intricately captures the dark themes of the 40K universe. The over-the-head camera and the model designs of the character simulate the experience of the tabletop game in a virtual setting. If you want something like Diablo 4's dungeon-crawling gameplay in the Warhammer 40K universe, then this game is made for you.

4) Victor Vran
