Without doubt Blizzard’s Diablo franchise has a huge legion of fans, and while there are probably many who were thrilled about Diablo 3, there are some who disagree, feeling that the game might lacking compared to its predecessors. We suppose that really boils down to the player and their preferences, but if you’re after a Diablo-esque hack and slash action RPG, perhaps Lost Ark could be a game worth checking out.

Lost Ark is a game put together by Korean developers Smile Gate using Unreal Engine 3, which we have to say looks pretty amazing when used in a hack and slash game like this. The graphics are breathtaking and the scenery and environment in which the gamer is playing truly feels epic.

While it is an action RPG, the developers have somehow managed to borrow some MMORPG elements, such as include mounts that players can use in their battles, like dragons and battle suits, and it also seems that judging from the trailer that there are some classes more suited for tanking, as opposed to Diablo 3 where all classes are more or less equal in terms of damage.

The trailer reveals a handful of classes, some of which might look familiar as we have your typical barbarian-like character, a mage, an assassin/monk, and one that strangely resembles the Demon Hunter with one handed and two handed guns. There are reportedly 13 more classes that have yet to be unveiled, and a closed beta is expected to take place next year, but what do you guys think? Is this the Diablo that Blizzard should have created?
