[PC Only] Buddy and I are looking for a game we can LAN - Strategy, Action-RPG, RPG, that sort. Any Help?

Both have fairly hefty computers, and can get most games quickly. Kinda stumped for what we want to play though. Either Real time/Turn based strategy games, action-rpg(more swords, less guns) or some sort of RPG.

Or anything else really, if the game is good enough.

Thanks!

For turn-based strategy-RPGs, I'd recommend Heroes of Might and Magic III and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. Both are primarily strategy games, with a turn-based structure - not primarily RPGs which happen to have strategic turn-based combat (I wasn't sure which you meant in your post). For the latter, look at games like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights or Icewind Dale.

In terms of Action-RPGs, Diablo 2 & 3, Torchlight 2, Path of Exile, and Dungeon Siege 2 are all strong titles.

Other titles which come to mind are:

  • Magicka - kind of light on RPG elements, but fun coop spell-casting adventure game
  • Dungeon Defenders - Tower Defense game with Action RPG elements like loot and skill trees

Lemme know if you need more suggestions or more info on any of those suggestions.

For strategy/supply and demand Anno 1404 is pretty fun. Action-rpg I would suggest Dungeon Siege 1 or 2, I prefer 1's progression but 2 adds some cool game play aspects(The graphics haven't aged well, better than some but not great). Titan Quest is also pretty fun similar to Diablo 2 with better graphics.

For a turn-based strategy rpg I would suggest Fallout Tatics(great game but you may not like the graphics.)

I would also check out Co-Optimus you will need to add the filter Lan and check it. Hope this helps and have fun gaming.
