Torchlight 1 kind of. You have one town and just descend levels.Are there any games that are more similar to the first Diablo than to its sequels?

1 or 2? The only reason I ask is that I feel like 1 is a touch less cartoony and darker than 2 almost like Diablo 1 to 2.Oh... thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, I really can't get into Torchlight's aesthetic.

Path of Exile is modeled more on the Diablo 2 side for exactly that reason, and nobody would even think about PoE today if it had simply tried to copy Diablo 1.
The atmosphere and style is one thing, but people still line up to play Diablo 2 ladder season starts today (even for its mods like Path of Diablo and MedianXL). Diablo 1 simply isn't a game with the mechanical depth or complexity to support such investment and devotion from its playerbase. Path of Exile is modeled more on the Diablo 2 side for exactly that reason, and nobody would even think about PoE today if it had simply tried to copy Diablo 1.
To put it another way, Diablo 1 is a game for the niche Era member who really loves a short, concentrated single player experience. Diablo 2 is an early entry in the endlessly replayable multiplayer genre that truly dominates the gaming market today.
This!I do prefer Diablo's smaller scope and more traditional feel.
It really feels like it's some dude against the forces of hell, whereas later Diablo titles make you feel like you're more prepared from the get-go.
Both, I don't mind cartoony games at all, but I'm really not into their particular style.1 or 2? The only reason I ask is that I feel like 1 is a touch less cartoony and darker than 2 almost like Diablo 1 to 2.
Co-op might sort of neuter that sense. It was somewhat limited at any rate. The Butcher was probably it at its height.Huh, I just played through Diablo 1 for the first time a few months ago co-op with a buddy and I didn't feel it was very survival-horrory at all. I haven't played any of the other Diablos, though, so I have no idea how they compare.

Still my favorite game in Diablo franchise.
Not exactly true.. there are many more differences between classes, but most of them are hidden. For example the warrior has better recovery time from blocking or being hit so he's less likely to get stunlocked in melee, while the sorcerer has faster spellcast animations(D1 classes are like Dark Souls classes - except for their one unique ability they just determine looks, starting equipment and initial stat distribution)
