How is Throne of Darkness? I've read it's made by most

Its like Diablo but with japanese theme, and you control a team of like four dudes if I am not mistaken.

The game was pretty fun, I played it a long time ago though so I don't remember much.

Sword of the Samurai is pretty fun despite its dated graphics.

Never see this game discussed, IRL or here, which I find strange considering its background.

The game is very similar to Diablo 2, but with an awesome and unique Japanese mythology and theme that I really loved. You pick from four different clans, with minor gameplay variations between them, that each have seven samurai. The samurai are all different classes, with overlapping abilities, and you can control up to four at a time. You can teleport guys back and forth from HQ instantly and at any time. I didn't beat it, but I have a save from the penultimate area, where it seemed that difficulty ramped very suddenly. I might have missed an area or something though.

There's a pretty fun item crafting system in the game, and you can offer at temples any magic gear that isn't good for you anymore, in exchange for spell levels.

Perhaps my biggest criticism was that for there being seven guys, there aren't that many abilities, and most are fairly straightforward. Not nearly as much ingenuity or variation as you see in Diablo 2.

Definitely worth a play if you liked Diablo 2; I enjoyed it and wasn't a huge fan of D2.

I've seen this while browsing Steam. I'll give it a look too.
