Best Isometric Action RPGs

This is the ranking of the best isometric action rpgs, sorted by iRank score: a 0-100 metric blending Steam reviews, IGDB ratings (community and critic), Metacritic, OpenCritic and the iRankGames community votes into a single number. Unlike opinion-based editorial lists, this order is computed from real data and applies a Bayesian shrinkage adjustment so games with few reviews can't inflate the top of the chart.

The top-25 average iRank is 89/100, out of 94 games catalogued. The ranking updates continuously as new reviews and votes come in.
