[겜ㅊㅊ] 5 hacks and slashes worth waiting for Dia 4 in ‘just 8 days’

※ [겜ㅊㅊ]is a corner that recommends games that gamers can enjoy according to a special theme every week.

There are less than 10 days left until you can enjoy Diablo 4. As we get closer to release, many people are trying to relieve themselves with cinematics and trailers, but it’s hard to wait. Instead, it has serious side effects that only increase the appetite.

So this week [겜ㅊㅊ]I would like to recommend a good hack and slash RPG while waiting for Diablo 4. We have prepared a variety of works, from story-oriented works to specific equipment farming, so there will be no shortage of spending the remaining time. Note that games that are too famous like Path of Exile or too old like Titan Quest are excluded.

1. The last Period

The first game I would recommend is Last Epoch. It depicts the resistance of mankind surviving in a world destroyed by the undead army. In terms of atmosphere and graphic system, there are many evaluations that it is somewhere between Diablo and Path of Exile. The general elements, such as the way to choose a specific branch among various passive skills, the item grade including legends, and the equipment crafting system, are very similar to Diablo.

There are a total of 5 jobs to choose from: ‘Sentinel’ who wields swords, ‘Mage’ who uses various elemental magic, ‘Primalist’ who deals with monsters and magic, ‘Acolite’ who fights through necromancy, and ‘Acolite’ who uses daggers or bows. ‘log’ exists. And each class is further divided into 3 specialties, allowing you to create your own build by choosing one of several skill branches. However, the only regret is that it is still in the Early Access stage and does not officially support Korea.

2. Dunn Grim

The next game we would recommend is Grim Dawn, released in 2016. It is a game released directly by Iron Roar Entertainment, the creators of Titan Quest, after independence from THQ. The background deals with the post-apocalyptic world mixed with Cthulhu mythology and fantasy. You can enjoy cool action by eliminating zombies and various monsters. You can experience the dark feeling of Diablo 2 in the game’s atmosphere and graphics.

In particular, Grim Dawn focused on the joy of farming gear, not leveling up or quests. You can get items from bosses and monsters, as well as corpses, chests and altars throughout the map, just like Diablo. The farming process is not straightforward as the item options also range from different attribute values ​​such as cold, fire, and lightning to job-specific stats. In addition, the dual class system that allows you to choose and combine 2 out of 9 jobs further maximizes the freedom of these games.

3. Darksiders Genesis

Darksiders Genesis, the latest in the Darksiders series, is also a must. The Darksiders series has different genres for each work, but Genesis, the fourth installment, followed the feeling of Diablo by producing it in the hack and slash genre from the perspective of the quarter. In addition, there are many similarities with Diablo in terms of worldview, such as the existence of angels and demons and the story of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse trying to save mankind from them.

Since the series itself deals with the narrative as important, the advantage is that you can experience an immersive story. It shares the world view with the previous works, but it is a prequel work, so there is no big problem in proceeding with the game. Additionally, alternating combat between ‘War’, which deals with guns, and ‘Stripe’, which deals with greatswords, is definitely a differentiating part. Because of this, many people evaluate that it has a distinct advantage over other hack and slash games in terms of action.

4. V Rise

Next up is V Rising, which was released as Early Access on Steam in May of last year. From its initial release, it was a work that attracted considerable popularity, surpassing 150,000 concurrent users daily and recording the highest sales worldwide on Steam. The game deals with the conflict between vampires and humans, with the vampire side being the main character. In fact, there are many fresh elements related to vampires in the game, such as absorbing human blood or receiving a better buff depending on the purity of the blood.

What users can enjoy is mainly divided into RPG, crafting, building and PvP. You can collect materials to craft equipment, gain special abilities through boss battles, wage siege warfare over people and items, or build your own castle. In particular, you can enjoy Diablo-like RPG-like fun in various tool and equipment manufacturing modes and boss fights. Thanks to this addiction, it is not uncommon to find more than 100 hours of reviews on steam reviews.

5. The Book of Demons

The last game I would recommend is The Book of Demons. Just like the word “Book” in its name, it’s a deck-building hack and slash game with graphics that look like they’re made of paper. Here, ‘Isn’t it too different from Diablo?’ You might have an idea. However, when you play the game, you will find that it is very Diablo-esque, from the dungeon structure and the somber atmosphere, to the health and mana design, and even the villagers who pay homage to Deckard Cain.

On the other hand, Book of Demons deals with a slightly unfamiliar element in the hack and slash of deck building. Skills, consumables, and equipment are all made up of cards, and you use them by equipping them. Given the maximum amount of mana, you need to distribute and use items appropriately. However, the point-and-click system is a bit confusing. It is a personal choice whether you accept this as a simple and easy operation or a cumbersome and troublesome operation.
