Torchlight II stands out with a fast pace in combat, but very well dosed in terms of progress. Whenever a big goal is reached, the next one is never too far away, keeping players always active.
Another great advantage of Torchlight II is the support for modifications (mods), something always very well received and explored by the community.
6. Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
Plataformas: PC, Playstation 4 e Xbox One
For fans of Diablo and Norse Mythology, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is a must-play game that combines all the classic elements of the hack and slash genre with Norse concepts, settings and characters.
Although the game does not innovate in any aspect, it does have some interesting mechanics that can be welcome in a genre with such similar titles. For example, in addition to dealing with the numerous monsters, you will have to constantly deal with the exposure of your character to the cold, and you will have to fight battles while looking for a fire or a cave to protect yourself.
7. Titan quest
Plataformas: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android e iOS
Titan Quest is probably as close to Diablo as you can get on a phone or tablet. The game was first released for PC in an attempt to copy the success of Diablo II, and later released for mobile.
Titan Quest has thousands of items to customize your character, each of which can be equipped with runes that modify your attributes. In addition, all other elements like talent trees, skills and classes are also present.

Platforms: PC, Android and iOS
Eternium is among the top Diablo-style games for Android. Here you can choose between three classes (mage, warrior and bounty hunter) and your objective is to stop Ragadam, an ancient evil that wants to destroy the world.

Much of the fun in Eternium is finding the best gear. The game has several weapons, armor and accessories for all parts of the body, and each one can be equipped with a gem that helps to further improve the attributes of the piece.
Perhaps the best part about Eternium is that, despite having microtransactions, it doesn't require you to do them for a full experience.

Book of Demons is a hack and slash RPG with a very unique visual identity. All characters and scenarios look like paper toys, with very charismatic animations and visual effects.
