Tired of the Diablo 4 seasonal cycle, a player turns to Last Epoch, a new ARPG that combines casual aspects of Diablo with hardcore elements of Path of Exile. Despite server issues, the game offers diverse class and subclass options, individual skill leveling, and a deep gear upgrading system. With a solid player base on Steam, Last Epoch presents a compelling alternative for ARPG enthusiasts seeking a fresh experience.

Despite initial server struggles, Last Epoch's popularity with ARPG fans led to concurrent player counts of over 150,000 on the first day. While Path of Exile also has its own launcher, separate from Steam, Last Epoch's achievement is seen as a victory for the ARPG genre and has fans excited for the future of the genre.
Last Epoch, an action role-playing game, has emerged from a five-year Early Access period with a 1.0 release that strikes a balance between the approachability of Diablo 4 and the character-build diversity of Path of Exile. The game features a 20-hour campaign that leads to an engaging endgame, offering deep character customization and a variety of playstyles. Despite some technical clunkiness in online multiplayer, Last Epoch's skill system, diverse character classes, and extensive itemization make it a compelling choice for ARPG fans.
