I mean, in philosophy, Diablo and Moria were related. The initial plan was to release Diablo as a modern Moria, and yes, turn based, but they switched into real time and they simplified the game for the more casual generation.

If any, Flare RPG has anything the first Diablo offers with a longish campaign and a good set of skills.

I know that was the plan, but the end result is quite different!

I know, but I can't stop comparing it to Moria/Angband.

I know the timing changes everything (and Nethack is more like a text adventure lore made into a top-down RPG), but the environment and tasks ingame aren't so that different both in Diablo and Moria.
