so ive tried diablo, torchlight and I liked and beat both a few times.

just looking for a fun mindless kill a bunch of skeletons and zombies dungeon crawler

I got in to skyrim for a while but that's a little more involved and not dungeon centric

are there any other good ones out there?

**sourclams**

I think you will probably have to branch out into RPGs if you've tried Diablo and Torchlight and are still hungry for mindless monster-slaying.

Path of Exile (which is free to play but in a good way)
Grim Dawn- not played it myself but its supposed to be good
Titan Quest-quite old now though

**Knight**

I'd recommend Grim Dawn. Fun.

**Melissia**

Dungeons of Dredmor.

There is no better dungeon crawl than Dungeons of Dredmor. It's build 100% around the idea, and has the best sense of humor of any dungeon crawler game on the market, hands down. Granted, it's not what Diablo purists think when they think of a dungeon crawler, but I assure you, especially with mods, it has enough content to last for years.

**Tannhauser42**

Legend of Grimrock is also quite good.

**Melissia**

I give a +1 to Grimrock as well, solid game.

But in no way is it a "just looking for a fun mindless kill a bunch of skeletons and zombies dungeon crawler "

**Melissia**

Dungeons of Dredmor, however, can be as mindless or complex as you want it to be.

**Necros**

I vote for Wizardry!

**Cheesecat**

Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Enter the Gungeon, Dark Souls, Demon Soul's, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Legend of Grimlock, Bloodborne, etc have dungeon crawl elements don't know if most of those are officially Dungeon Crawl's though.

**nareik**

Path of Exile is a fun 'hold down left click and drink potions' game.

**Gitzbitah**

Try Darkest Dungeon too- hours and hours of intense combat and the creeping insanity!

**Cheesecat**

Ziggurat.

Dungeon siege 1 off steam, old but really simple crawler

**jreilly89**

Diablo 3 is pretty good, and they've been updating and adding lots of stuff to it.

Darkest Dungeon is fun, but more of a turn based, get your face punched in kind of game.

**Frankenberry**

Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 are pretty good, much closer to the dungeon crawl (3 isn't, more of an action game). Titan Quest appeared around the same time as Diablo 2 did and shares a lot of the same design characteristics and is super fun (but dated).

If you don't mind dated gameplay or graphics, Diablo 1 is still pretty fun too (you mentioned that you've played Diablo, but not which one, I'll assume you meant 3).

There are other RPG's that involve a lot of dungeons and areas to explore; Icewind Dale, Divinity: Original Sin, Baldurs Gate, and Pillars of Eternity. All of these are a bit more RPG-ish than the games you mentioned; they tend to expand on the dungeon slash type and mold it more into an RPG - might be worth checking out.

**usernamesareannoying**

thanks all.

@frankenberry - yeah I meant diablo 3. already beat that, pillars and baldurs =P
all great games.

I like diablo 3 but from what I can tell all of the content upgrades need to be purchased correct? ill admit though that I haven't looked at it in a while.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
oh yeah... I tried playing diablo 1 again... I couldn't take the graphics, lol.

Kind of. Grab the Ultimate Evil Edition, which includes the base game and DLC. That should be fairly cheap on PC (~$10-$20?)
