I need an A\RPG. Something between Fallout and Diablo

[Swatti]

I recently tried Path Of Exile, Grim Dawn and Last Epoch. All good games but they all left me wanting something a bit different. (Also tried Van Helsing and Wolcen)

I'm tired of the sword, shield, fireball, etc stuff. Lets have some more modern stuff. But what is there on offer?
As mentioned i devoured thru Diablos and Fallouts both being good at what they do but is there anything in between?

No first or third person games, preferrably. Has to include some modern'ish or steampunk style stuff, or simply, guns and gunplay.
Action RPG or a more "traditional" one but no turn-based games, ive simply grown bored of those. Single player. Open world is a big plus.

I mean those aren't ARPGs that the OP is looking for. I'm assuming since you've done diablo poe and grimdawn you've already partaken in the torchlight games? There's also the warhammer arpg but i personally didn't like it very much, Chaosbane or something like that.

What about Shadow Warror 2?
It looks like an FPS, but it's got a strong RPG core in it, the weapon stats system makes the difference between struggling on easy and downing the boss on hard first run in 40 seconds. There's also side-quests, main quests, player skills & the usual ARPG stuff.
Borderlands series may tickle your fancy as well.

Problem with OP Request is to many restriction,

tired of the sword, shield, fireball,
No first or third person games,
no turn-based games

that mean iso metric view left in realtime, GL with such games there are seen as old and outdate

he look for game like Fallout 1 or 2 with no pause. or something like that,
i cant come up with anything, or dont recall them.

Tried the WH40k ARPG. Pretty good. Gets VERY repetitive very fast.

Shadow Warrior 2 ive been meaning to try, but not what im looking for here.
Borderlands 3 is ok but too repetitive.
Also both are FPS games. Not what i want here.

Feel free to inspect my games , but i bet you will have to research alot, you sure you want to stick with RPG that the problem here, you might want to play adventure games like day of tentacle, or something way off RPG.

You will obviously need the basegame, too

The Freedom Force games can be a bit tricky to run in the Steam version, I would recommend checking them out on GoG

Mmm...thats a complex list. Not turned based but not third or first person.

Unfortunately, you eliminate great options like the original Deus Ex, Sleeping Dogs and the Shadowrun series. Although, you should try finding a copy of Shadowrun for the SNES; great game totally fits.

I'll do some research and get back to you.

Ok...sorry I can’t link these but most are easy enough to find with a Steam or Google search.

Star Flight series and Star Control 2 - More Rpgs than space sims
Circuit’s Edge - Old but great if you can find a copy floating around. Can’t remember if this was turn-based.
Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams - Free on GOG
Planetscape Torment: Turn based but it’s weirdness makes it worth it.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscure - it has a real-time combat mode and it’s a weird tech/Magic blend.
Freedom Force
I’d also recommend the Wasteland Series. It’s turn-based but it’s Fallout’s grandaddy.

You should look into Ultima 7. It’s “fantasy” but it’s world is kinda a unique blend, it’s huge and generally awesome. You don’t need to play the previous games to understand the weirdness.

Edit: Double post but I can't be bothered C&Ping the whole thing on the Steam app.

I always liked the look and feel of that game. Rented it from Blockbuster on several occasions. Never got very far though.

I hear the Genesis Shadowrun game is amazing though. Never got a chance to play that one.
