Best Top Down RPG Games To Play on PC
Diablo 2 Resurrected
Diablo 2 resurrected is a classic game that has been revived. The original Diablo 2 was released in 2000, and it was a huge hit. It received great reviews, and it even won Game of the Year from some publications. It's no surprise that many people were excited to hear that Diablo 2 would be coming back.
In Diablo 2 resurrected, you play as one of five classes: Barbarian, Necromancer, Amazon, Sorceress, or Paladin. Each class has different skills and abilities that are unique to them. You can choose which character you want to play as at the start of each game.
You can also join other players’ sessions on your online characters. Every session can have up to 8 players. Unfortunately, once you have created an Online character, it can’t be played Offline and the same logic applies for the other way around, too. If you have an Offline character, you won’t be able to join co-op sessions.
This game is an industry-defining game that shaped the ARPG genre and became the main source of inspiration for many ARPG games today.
Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium is a game of exploration, combat, and discovery. It's a first-person RPG that takes place in a futuristic world where the music is so important that it can literally change the landscape.
At its core, Disco Elysium is about exploring the world and finding out more about what happened to humanity by interacting with other characters and exploring areas. In addition to this main story, there are also side quests to complete and secrets to find.
The gameplay consists mainly of walking around, interacting with objects or people (such as opening doors or talking), and fighting enemies (which can be pretty difficult at times). The combat involves using different weapons or abilities depending on what kind of enemy you're facing.
Path of Exile
Path of Exile is an online role-playing game that is considered one of the best in its genre. The game was developed by Grinding Gear Games and published by Tencent Holdings Limited. It was released on Microsoft Windows in 2013, and later on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2015. The story takes place in a dark fantasy world where players can choose one of seven playable classes: Marauder, Ranger, Witch, Duelist, Templar, Shadow or Scion. Each class has their own set of skills, which makes them unique from each other.
The game features hundreds of hours of gameplay with thousands of hours for players to explore the world alone or with friends. There are many different monsters in the game that can be killed for experience points (EXP). Players can also trade with other players using an auction house system that operates through an online marketplace called The Marketplace.
Hades
Hades is an excellent game. Every bit of this game tells some part of the story. The weapons, the abilities, the environments, the enemies — everything paints the big picture, which is Hades’ vast, procedurally generated Underworld.
You play as Zagreus, the son of the God of the Dead, Hades, and your quest is simple: to get out of this underworld hell.
In its essence, Hades is a roguelike game. When you die, you go back to where it starts. But, with different builds you can try out in each run, you always get more knowledgeable and more powerful. It adds a lot of replayability to the game.
Divinity Original Sin 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 can be a bit overwhelming at first, since you’re allowed to pick or create a character. You can choose among the six pre-made characters to begin with, each having backstories giving them a goal beyond the main story.
Combat system and battles are turn based with each character having a certain amount of Action Points to spend on each turn. Even moving within the battle area will use AP, the further you move the more it costs, and each action will take a certain amount of AP. If you end your turn without using all your AP it will carry over to your next turn.
Divinity is another classic title that set some standards for this genre. If you haven’t played it before, you should definitely try it out.
