The only games of the sort that I can think of off the top of my head are: Marvel Alliance, Baldurs Gate, Champions of Norath, D&D Heroes.

Champions of Norrath is a great game. Wasted so many hours on it and its sequel...

Not even in the same boat. If you played God of War, you have an idea of what it aspires to be. Diablo was a click fest...in Conan you're using a lot more blocks and counters, with timed button presses for specific finishers after a counter, etc. You had no counters in Diablo except running out of the way of a spell or out of range of melee.

Dude, again, you're talking about clicks and button presses, that's not visual, i'm just talking about the camera viewpoint and character models, etc. You know, the visuals..

I really did not notice any resemblence to Diablo visually while playing Conan. Conan's camera view is much closer to the action and obviously, alot more detailed.

No, it's not even close. It doesn't have the same atmosphere. I would think it is very close to a visual pairing of God of War and a Renaissance Fair. We haven't seen all of the enemies, but I don't think they will have the variety of or D&Dness of Diablo.

Really liked the demo and trailer; defintely reminds me some of GoW. Graphics and animations are very nice. There are WAY too many good games coming out this Fall

I am confused. What Conan game is this?
