Chronicon

Chronicon is a solo-developed isometric action RPG that has quietly grown into one of the deeper Diablo-style loot games available outside the AAA tier. The framing device — the Heroes of Old are honoured each year through the Chronicon, a magical device that lets a handful of chosen people relive their grand quests — gives the game a clean justification for its long campaign structure and its eventual descent into endgame grinding territory.

Four distinct classes anchor the game: the Templar (heavy armour and divine power), the Berserker (raw melee fury), the Warden (ranged and hybrid combat), and the Warlock (sorcery and dark arts). Each class has over 900 skills, abilities and perks to learn and improve, which combine across multiple skill trees into the kind of build sandbox the genre lives or dies on. Item depth is similarly aggressive: 400-plus unique items with designed special powers, plus 700-plus with randomised enchants, qualities, build-changing effects and powerful set bonuses.

Five large campaign acts cover the main story, with procedurally generated dungeons mixed in for variety, but the actual long tail is the endgame. Infinite Mastery ranks let characters keep progressing indefinitely, deep crafting (Enchanting, gem socketing, Empowering and rune inscription) gives you the tools to perfect your gear, and randomised endgame dungeons plus endgame-only crafting mechanics provide the grind targets. Local co-op for up to four players (with Xbox controllers), Remote Play Together support, Hardcore mode and full controller support round out the package.
