A good Diablo III clone for 2,50€? Yes please!

I know I should follow the "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" Godly rule but let me say so: Titan Quest + Titan Quest expansion for 2,50 6,66 € it's just too good to be skipped. Even for a true Diablo fan like me.

This offer is available on Steam (here) and it falls under the "today's deal" category. Grab the deal before it expires, you wont regret it. You will be following the "Stay hungry, stayfoolish" mantra too. Foolish by playing a non-Diablo game, hungry by trying something different and looking for a valid alternative for the next months (at least until BF3, Skyrim or SWOTOR hit the stores).

For those who don't know the game, just think about Diablo and pack it under a different name. I know, I know... "it's not the same, how can you dare comparing the king with a mere copy ?!?". Well, the truth is... TQ is not a "mere copy". It's a good game, with very good graphics, good grinding, lots of items/drops and tons of monster to click-kill ad infinitum. Forget the dark-gothic atmosphere and prepare for Greek and Egyptian mythology.



I played the first chapter back in 2006 when it came out, but I skipped the expansion (2007). I did not even know there was a second chapter, to be honest, so now it's time to explore it. You can find some user reviews here (Metacritics) if you want some non-paid feedback. I'll quote some players for you:

  • October 11, 2011 - A four year old game that runs great on my 2009 quad core PC. Its a pretty little Diabolo clone that has interesting class builds and skill sets. This looks like a bit of fun for a rainy day. Its perfect as a hold over until Diabolo 3 is published. What do you know? Value for money. Fun. Replayability.
     
  • May 20, 2011 - This is THE best hack and slash game since Diablo II. This game is a pure DII clone, but of highest quality and with beautiful graphics. The possibility of mixing so called masteries offers totally 45 possible combinations! Collect item, make a perfec build, improve your gear by collectim artifacts and relics. Classic stuff - nothing fancy but exactly what one may expect form this kind of game.
     
  • May 17, 2011 - Ah, the beautiful expansion to an already amazing game. Titan Quest is great, but it pales in comparison to Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Now on top of the original three acts (Greece, Egypt and Orient) you have another act, and it's the longest one too, and also the most atmospheric and challenging.

  1. Hmm, I can't find it for that price. It's $13.33 on my end which, while not a bad price, is not that big of a bargain.

    This really was the best Diablo clone I have ever played. I enjoyed this game a lot.
