Darkstone
Footsteps of Diablo, game known as Darkstone was made in 1999. It has very similar gameplay with few unique twists. There's whopping 8 different characters (Warrior, amazon, wizard, sorceress, assassin, thief, monk and priestess) to choose, so there's lots of different options to play with.
Main aspect in game is to collect various crystals which opens way to the last boss. You can get crystals by doing different quests, which suprisingly are random everytime you play. So almost every game you play has unique questline from start to end.
Of course, because this game is an hack'n'slash action RPG. Game involves character development. You can gain levels by killing monsters and after gaining levels you can add 6 attribute points to your character (Strength, dexterity, vitality, magic.) Some items require different amount of attributes, so choose wisely those attributes what you pick.
It's shame that game wasn't so popular when it came and still many doesn't even know that the game exists. Hopefully game gets more credit after GOG/Steam release. It's really fun game to play and for Diablo-franchise fans i surely recommend it.
