Name some old school MP hack n slash games

[I4AT]

Looking for some 2+ player hack n slash games on the PC, preferably with online play, but LAN would work too.

Already played:
Diablo 1/2
Titan Quest Gold
Dungeon Siege 1/2

Recommended:
Baldur's Gate 1/2
Icewind Dale 1/2
Sacred
Darkstone
Evil Islands
NWN 1/2
Pool of Radiance
Dragonshard

I haven't actually played any of the games on the recommended list, they're just games I've heard of. I'm looking for more obscure titles and others I might have left out. Comments on any of the games already on the list are welcome.

NWN a hack and slash?

Community (player made) modules can be, but the game itself is not.

FWIW, the Baldurs Gate series on the PC is not hack and slash.

How would you guys describe the combat of games like NWN and Baldur's Gate?

See for yourself for free.

Sounds like Divine Divinity would be right up your alley.

(I think the game might even be freeware now)

not sure about multi player come to think of it... might be some mods for it if the game doesn't have it.

Actually, I'd say that the OC is.

There are also plenty of action PW servers out there, I think...

Try to get in the Mythos beta. A game very similar to Diablo 2. Unfortunately it is in closed beta right now, but you can try to get in, otherwise just keep watching the Mythos website as the open beta should come within a month or two. Very very good game, especially for a beta.

edit: Also, one of the main guys on the Mythos team was pretty much the guy responsible for the game Fate. It is a couple of years old and along the same lines as Mythos and D2. I've seen it at Walmart for $20 or so just recently so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

I signed up for the mythos beta e-mail list, but haven't received word from them yet.

the NWN OC is horrible... hordes of the underdark (HOTU) was so much more fun i thought. i managed to beat the NWN OC 2-3 times.. HOTU - easily 5 🙂
