✓ Fits the isometric Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, turn-based strategy and combat tactical

≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, tower defense planning and adventure storytelling, while skipping ranged combat

A tower defence and action RPG hybrid: build the maze between waves, then fight in it yourself with a levelling hero, designed for four-player co-op and long loot grinds. The first game is still the one people return to. The complaint from long-time players is what happened after — a steady stream of paid DLC of visibly lower quality than the original release.

≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, adventure storytelling and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping turn-based strategy

The most immediately readable action RPG of its generation: abilities are swappable at will, combat is fast and legible, and the seasonal loop is well tuned. That flexibility is also the criticism — builds are largely decided by set bonuses, so character identity comes from gear drops rather than from choices you make.
