New ARPG on Steam is Diablo Meets God of War Remixed into the Extraction Genre

The ARPG genre has spent what feels like forever living in Diablo's shadow, but Gods, Death and Reapers is at least trying to step out of it through a different door. Developed by Wolcen Studio, the upcoming free-to-play Steam game takes the familiar bones of an isometric loot-driven RPG and drops them into an extraction loop, where every run is built around surviving long enough to bring something valuable back. That alone makes Gods, Death and Reapers a standout addition to the ARPG space, as it adds tension to a genre that feels like it has become more about one-click builds and enemies that hardly pose a threat than any actual risk.
