David Brevik, the creator of diablo is currently working on an indy game pretty much by himself called It Lurks Below. It's kind of like if terraria merged with diablo. You have to survive by growing crops and you get items by venturing lower and lower into the world using your pickaxe. It's still in pre-release on steam, but even at this stage I played it for quite a number of hours and found that it had a surprising amount of depth.
It's certainly not on the same level as diablo, but it is worth checking out if you are into those kind of games.
I really wish Blizzard would not have shut down Blizzard North and would have let Brevik continue working on his vision for diablo 3. That's life I guess though.
- picsao 8y agoJust some greedy gremlins ousting the actual creators of success. Must be a law of nature.
- oraknabo 8y agoI was never a huge Diablo fan, but I could always appreciate the things people liked about it. I gained new respect for it from watching Brevik's GDC postmortem [0] from a couple of years ago. I love the idea that it was originally a dungeon crawl inspired by X-COM and would love to play one of the early builds before they changed to real-time combat.

- pm90 8y agoThat sounds really cool! Terraria is an excellent game and I kind of liked that its monsters were in the same vein (i.e. scary, evil. Especially liked when I dug through the ground to find the underworld... ha). The loot system is insane. Its a little hard to replicate the gore and fear of the original game though; and the fighting does seem a lot more involved in D2 than in Terraria.
- bfrydl 8y agoI've heard about this game but what exactly is it that makes people say it's a mix of Terraria and Diablo, besides the creator? It looks almost identical to Terraria to me, which also has you building on the surface and descending deeper and deeper into the world.
