Other games like this?

[Abaddon]

I haven't found any other games like this one. It's great, but once you've cleared it 10 times it starts to get boring.

I would love a game like this one with a bit more depth, but so far I haven't been able to find anything with this game's weapon system, or similar. Skyrim was a good bet when it released, but it turned out to be a Become-A-Nightingale simulator with mods, where you one-shot dragons with a x30 glass dagger backstab.

So, any ideas of games that play similar to this one?

I do have arx fatalis and the arx libertatis mod installed. Thanks for the duggedtion though.

I hoped you tried Skyrim. For me Skyrim is the replacement for Dark Messiah.
Before Dark Messiah it was Hexen 2 :)

Hexen has nothing to do with the other games. It's more like... Turok or Painkiller.

And skyrim... who hasn't played skyrim? You can it on PC, PS3, PS4, XB1, Switch, phone, toaster, fridge, alexa... really who hasn't played Skyrim? And it's still pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ compared to Dark Messiah.

i havent played skyrim nor i intend to :p
skyrim is way more rpg than action unlike dark messiah

Yeah, this game was fun in both SP & MP, too bad cause i doubt you will get enuff ppl to get a MP game going these days.
There aren't many games like this so good luck & if you find some that i haven't played please make a list.

When you really, really want a game similiar like this one, there is just one game: Oblivion.

Not Skyrim, its overrated but "good", Oblivion is that what you are searching for.

dark messiah is way more actiony than obvlivion which seems kind of heavy with RPG elements to be anything similar

Not even close. I do have skyrim however, who doesn't have Skyrim? It has a version for toasters, door bells and alexa.

Too sad, a new Dark messiah or arx fatalis would be great, just with a bit better graphics. maybe if you like, die by the sword could do it, but oooooooold, and both arx and ddts have kinda awkward controls to play them.

Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen.
Its 3rd person, but the heart is there, and kb/m controls are on point, ui is a little clunky, but very doable - I know this thread is targeted at FPS, but even still, worth a mention.

Combat is without a doubt the highlight in this game.
Singleplayer only, but with 3 party members, npc. Or throw them off cliffs and go it solo. (lol)
Dungeons are deep and dark, atmosphere is as thick as can be.
Many, Many playstyles, skills, weapons, armor, etc.
The cosplay is real. Lots to loot and use. Lore friendly, everything from robes to platemale.
Skills / magic are very well done, melee combat feels impactful.
Enemy design, combat mechanics, are quite deep and varied.
Good enough sound and visuals. Its a port, but ported well.
Dialogue animations are a little derpy, but all combat / movement related animations are solid.
Easily 50-70 hours for a first playthrough, and you can accelerate progress on future playthroughs as you learn where items can be obtained, and how things work with crafting, gear, buffs / debuffs, different consumable tools and items, etc.

There are some quirks that should be known, such as:
Enemies and areas are unleveled. (no scaling)
Defenses and damage sources are flat. (If something has higher defense than your attack, you will do no damage.

So because of these things, you can happen across encounters that seem way outside of your capabilities early on. And if you come back to them much, much later, the situation reverses, where you are way over powered, and these enemies, now a breeze. So theres a sort of sweet spot to hang around, as you build your character and go through the game. Not difficult to achieve though.

It all flows well, especially if you quest and progress at the pace the game is trying to push you. The game isn't, and doesn't feel linear though. Theres plenty viable areas to explore, and your options open up more and more at a steady pace.
But what I said about flat defense and damage - can cause progression to feel sort of jagged.
Where you could attack a dragon, and literally do zero damage to it, but go gain a few levels, unlock the next tier of a skill, find a decent weapon and come back and be well matched / consume certain types of items and stomp all over it.

Most progress happens like that, and it feels good.
I'd say check it out, should satisfy quite a bit. Theres a sort of end game dungeon too. Bitterblack Isle

Sorry for the wall.

There is very little like DMoMM, the in development game Spell Fist 3D looks to be similar in some ways, having spells and being able to punch kick enemies into walls spellfist-3d.tumblr.com Twitter account link @Spellfist_3D

The next best thing would be
Warhammer: Vermintide 1 / 2, a Left 4 Dead inspired multiplayer series, where you and three players (or bots) go through semi-linear medieval environments fighting off huge swarms of Skaven (rat people). With fireballs/guns/bow and arrow + melee weapons.
You get loot to upgrade your character and then do it again.
The Vermintide games don't have the same physics based gameplay as DMoMM, but have a grimdark medieval setting that scratches some of the same itch.
