Thread: Need a good hack and slash dungeon crawler

Depths of Peril looks pretty cool but even minimizing the graphics my comp barely runs it : ( I picked up Shining Force EXA. It's pretty terrible but it's brainless and I get to kill things occasionally when they aren't shoving some ham-fisted "story" in my face. From: Killer Kitty | #034 You've basically played all the major "D2 clones" which is what you seem to be looking for. Err, yeah...

Arx Fatalis is pretty cool. However, I really wouldn't call it "brainless" per se. You might be interested in Silver? Obscure PC/Dreamcast RPG. Never played it so I don't know how it is, but it has always LOOKED like a brainless game to me.

Would the Phantasy Online Episode 1 +2 appeal to you? It's hack n slash rpg with loot grabbing. The gameplay is not button mashing. You have to time your attacks. It should work for the WII. But you would need the Gamecube controllers to play the game.

Oh! And there's also Alien Syndrome for the Wii! I haven't played any of the Diablo games, but I've heard that Alien Syndrome is a lot like it!

Alien Syndrome That's the game! I got its name wrong. You're the one I heard good things about it from, to boot ^_^. Sorry, I should have specified that I am looking for a classic type of RPG. Sword and Sorcery stuff. RS3 is pretty Sword and Sorcery. One of the chars is a King and you get to play a war minigame with him. But along the lines of more classic fantasy...have you played Dark Sun or any of the Eye of the Beholders? Dark...

torchlight comes out in 5 days.

Oh dang. I second Arx Fatalis. Awesome game. Low system recs too.

Upon the latest update in particular, I also feel compelled to recommend Triangle Wizard on PC. Possibly Lost Labyrinth as well on PC should your PC be able to run it proper.

I've played the Norrath and Dark Alliance games. That's totally what I'm looking for Try the X-Men Legends / Marvel Ultimate Alliance games then. Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is pretty much a brainless game but I found it fun enough to play through. Isn't PSO online only with monthly fees? The Phantasy Star Universe games have offline parts.
