Ni.no.Kuni.II.Revenant.Kingdom.Update.v1.02-CODEX Dna Hack
Hand Of Fate's Dealer is the best attempt games have made at a virtual dungeon master: a goading, hooded figure who lays down cards from a deck of narrative events, building short-form RPGs across a table top. Maybe the next draw will be a brawl, played out in simple third-person hack-and-slashery, or perhaps a mystic glade, full of replenishing balms. Knowing the bastard in the hood, it'll likely be whatever you don't want to happen. But at least there's less chance of repetition in Hand of Fate 2 - the Dealer can screw you in many more colourful ways.

What else should I be playing if I like this: The entire genre of roguelikes. Maybe try descending further into the past and trying Nethack, which is also free and has many fine tilesets. Or try Streets Of Rogue for something more modern.
Brogue is your stepping stone between the modern roguelike (Spelunky and Dungeons of Dredmor, et al) and the ASCII-drawn progenitors of the genre like Nethack, Zangband and, you know, Rogue. It's the mouse controls that do it. Instead of stumbling around for which keyboard buttons will quaff a potion, you click to move, click to attack, click to wear that cursed ring, and hover over any character to read a description of what it is.
What else should I be playing if I like this: Shadowrun: Hong Kong came next and some people prefer it, or the stealth-focused Invisible, Inc. is the better experience if you want turn-based, hacking-augmented combat.
What else should I be playing if I like this: Norco is less an RPG and more a point and click story adventure, but it has a similar kind of doomed but lovely vibe. For a worker shackled to an impossible contract there's Hardspace Shipbreaker, and for sci-fi RPG bants there's Gamedec.
At launch, Path Of Exile seemed like a decent and traditional action-RPG with a stronger focus on character builds than some of its immediate peers. Since then however, its developers have regularly added new content to the game, including nine expansions. It has consequently bloomed into the most engrossing hack-and-slasher around.
