In the current Steam Sale, there are loads of great deals. One of the best is particularly interesting for players looking for an alternative to Diablo 4. Torchlight may be a bit dated, but it’s still a top title.
What kind of game is this?
- In Torchlight, you play a hero who must save the eponymous city from a dark power. The game is a classic isometric action RPG in the style of Diablo and is considered one of the best alternatives to Blizzard’s franchise.
- Instead of a gloomy gothic setting like in Diablo, you play in a steampunk world filled with automatons and other machines. Torchlight is mainly characterized by its colorful comic style.
- The first part of the series is from 2009, but it is still regarded as the pinnacle. On Steam, Torchlight has a rating of 91 percent across all reviews, making it “very positive.”
Here you can currently get Torchlight at a lower price: Steam is currently holding a Spring Sale from March 14th to March 21st, 2024. During this time, you can get all Torchlight titles for 80 percent off:
- Torchlight is currently just €2.99 instead of €14.99 on Steam
- Torchlight 2 is currently €3.79 instead of €18.99 on Steam
- Torchlight 3 is currently €6.79 instead of €33.99 on Steam
While Torchlight 2 still has strong ratings of over 90 percent, the third part of the series has dropped significantly with below 50 percent. The first part is still the most popular among many fans.
If you want a good balance between price, rating, and age, go for the second part. Torchlight 2 was released in 2012, so it is also a bit older, but roughly as old as Diablo 3.
If you prefer to get the original
, Diablo 4 is currently also 50 percent off for €34.99 instead of €69.99 (via Steam).
Steam Sale in March brings loads of offers
Another action RPG that you can currently get at a significant discount is Tribes of Midgard – actually a survival game with Vikings. In Tribes of Midgard, you build up a settlement and must defend it until the Fimbulwinter comes, the end of time.
Tribes of Midgard has improved significantly over the years. After a weak start, there was a complete rework with a building system and improved classes, giving you a strong mix of survival and hack-and-slash gameplay.
For all those who appreciate graphical wonders, RPGs like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption, and Hogwarts Legacy are also on sale. Strategy fans can snag a huge bargain with Civilization 6 for €5.99. For shooter players, there’s Rainbow Six Siege for only €3.99. You can find the entire Spring Sale on Steam here.
If you find Torchlight a bit too dated or don’t like the setting very much, you have a new and current title with Last Epoch, which competes with Diablo 4 for players. Last Epoch is regarded as a new, hot tip among ARPG players, with strong content delivered throughout the year: 2024 is the best year if you love games like Diablo
