I don't like RPG but adore Dungeon Crawlers
| what don't you like in RPG? The anime aesthetic? The story driven linearity?
| Actually, it's the combat system (more or less). 85% of the time you are in auto-pilot grinding only to reach a boss fight and enjoy some story and a good fight.
| In Dungeon Crawlers, the inventory space and the maze-like dungeon sspice things up, and every monster can kill you if you are not careful
| Have you tried Darkest Dungeon op? Battle system-wise it's more turn-based RPG than dungeon crawlers, but it hits the points you mentioned
| None of those. It's
| Etrian Odyssey series is kind of both and it's really fricking good.
| Dungeon Crawler is kinda a broad term. If you mean like 1st person dungeons crawler, the classics (might & magic, wizardry) are pretty fun if you can get past the archaic ui/graphics.
If you mean like, actiony dungeon crawlers, diablo 1&2 are pretty great. If you go for diablo 1 I recommend the belzebub mod.
I wanna recommend Demon's Souls, but I'm not sure if it suits your criteta.
Oh and, I have to say Darkest Dungeon is one that I *don't* recommend. It's just way too grindy.

Actually, the latest Might and Magic (X, I believe) is not half bad, too. It has its issues, sure, but in a half-dead genre of 1st person turn-based RPG/Dungeon Crawl it's still a nice thing. Although there aren't that many dungeons for a while, mostly just overworld stuff.

Gonna have to disgree about Darkest Dungeon. Sure it's just battles after battles, but the way the battles are designed means there's risk and tension every time you do it.
If you're just grinding through easier dungeons, I'd say you're doing it wrong, but hey you do you

The issue is that you need to grind up new characters to make any progress, since your others will constantly be in recovery (if they aren't dead). And don't forget the thing they do in the last dungeon.
That's not to say the game is without its merits. I do agree with the tension of battles, and it has one creepy fucking atmosphere. I guess it just comes down to what you want out of the game.
