✓ Like Murky Divers, it's known for deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, tower defense planning and punishing difficulty, while skipping horror tension

An isometric action RPG with a gothic, faintly comic tone, carried by the running commentary between Van Helsing and his ghostly companion Katarina, who is also a functional part of your build. The atmosphere and writing lift it above the usual Diablo clone. Build variety is where it runs out — few late-game specs are viable, so experimentation quietly funnels you back to the obvious ones.

✓ If you enjoyed Murky Divers, expect deep RPG systems, dark, oppressive atmosphere and horror setting

≠ Its own twist: action RPG combat, shooter and visual isometric, while skipping horror tension

A top-down survival game about rescuing victims before monsters reach them, built for two players and much better that way. Weapons are improvised and scarce. It is genuinely hard in an unforgiving arcade sense — limited continues, no map, and later levels where finding the last neighbour eats more time than surviving does.

Path of Exile is inspired by Diablo II and follows it basically in most of the aspects. Randomly filled pre-set of locations, heavy grind and a possibility of replaying most of the areas leaves us with only one possible outcome. Players wake up on grim shores of Wraeclast.
