I decided to not include it after seeing this screenshot of the char creation:

PS: I haven't played it.

I honestly feel like Prince of Qin doesn't quite fit the category either.

I was hesitant to put it in there at first (after checking out some screenshots of it), but I kept seeing people mention it while talking about 'Diablo-like games'. I blame those retards. Also, options can't be removed from the list (only added).

Sacred, Grim Dawn, Diablo 2, (Dungeon Siege 2). Inquisitor and Divine Divinity despite having a LOTTTT of pointless filler combat are actually proper decent RPGs.

Why is there Dung Siege 1 when it's so automated player have almost nothing to do?
Ironically the PSP game DungSiege Throne of Agony is the closest to normal hack'n'slash you can get even though people barely remember this game for some reasons.

My go to list would be
-Revenant (after 1st playthrough gave myself regen boost for mana and 2x HP regen) and smack mobs there and here
-Nox (nuff said, still going with my wizard run)
-Diablo 1 with The Hell mods (1 in HD, not so much with 2nd and 3rd one)
-Divine Divinity (retarded title bug nice action package)
-Inquisitor (really rough DivDiv clone with nice assortment of magic spells. If only dealing with nasty ailment wasn't THAT difficult...)
-Van Hellsing 1 and 2, third game was such a slog it makes Final Cut a not so great option tbh. These games are rather short and it's better to play them separately and not deal with last 1/3 of the Final Cut.

Fallout Tactics in real time counts? It can be hectic with bigger squads and better guns.
Throne of Darkness ain't too shabby, good enough to consider another playthrough if time wasn't a problem.
Hexplore was nice but micromanagement wasn't easy

As far as Diablo-like games go Sacred was Diablo 4 done right and since it was one of the last to use 2D backgrounds it will probably remain the peak of that lineage. Many of these games listed don't fit into that niche though. I think I spent the first hour or so, if not more, reading in Inquisitor and Divine Divinity does its own thing. Kult likewise is far removed from Diablo even if they share some similarities. All good games even if they don't focus on the Diablo addict loop, which is more of a slot machine than it is a hack and slash.
