Grim Dawn is a Diablo-clone. Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game for PC and a spiritual successor to Titan Quest. For the past two years a small team of former Iron Lore veterans at Crate Entertainment have been developing Grim Dawn with their own, improved version of the Iron Lore engine and tools; the same technology used to create Titan Quest.We’ve listened to years of feedback from the Titan Quest community and continue to do so every day on the Grim Dawn forums as we strive to improve upon past performance and make this our greatest work yet. The creation of Grim Dawn is guided by traditional design and old school sensibilities, with innovation only in the areas where we feel it truly improves the game and isn't just a gimmicky back of the box feature.Grim Dawn will:

• Be DRM free!
• Include robust modding tools so you can create your own worlds!
• Be faster-paced, with much more satisfying enemy hit reactions and deaths.
• Allow you to fight house-to-house as you lay waste to enemies and the former owner’s furniture in the process. Break through walls to open up new areas of exploration!
• Feature a more open-world design with randomized elements that will greatly enhance replay-ability. Each play-through will be unique with "set-piece" spawners that can turn a patch of wilderness into different types of enemy camps, a traveling merchant caravan, etc, each with their own unique art.
• We don’t control where you go; you do! If you don't want to follow the main story, you aren't forced to. Non-linear progression allows you to unlock new areas by repairing bridges, defeating enemy blockades, etc, as soon as you have the resources and power to do it. Race ahead into higher-level areas and get pwned, we'll warn you but we're not going to stop you!
• Let you combine any two of five distinct skill classes, each with multiple skill trees in which to specialize. Spend money to reclaim skill points if you’re unhappy with your build.
• Have a refined loot system that drops far less junk-items, produces more uber randomized gear and ensures more consistent rewards from hero and boss monsters.
• Immerse you in a gritty, dangerous, Victorian era fantasy world where humankind has been pushed to the brink of extinction by warring otherworldly powers.
• Give players meaningful quest choices and the ability to visually change the starting town as they help to rebuild and secure the future survival of humanity.
• Let you ally with NPC factions to earn rewards and unlock new quest lines. Be wary though, aiding one group can make another your enemy!
• Join up with friends in coop-multiplayer through online match-making or play over LAN and experience the full game together.
• And so much more… *taken from their kickstarter page*

This is a upcoming project on Kickstarter I think has a lot of potential. It's a metroidvania style games with really sleek hand-drawn graphics. I'm a big fan of this style of gaming and have high hopes for it myself. Its due out in Jan. '13 so still a ways to go. You can get a copy of the game for a minimum pledge of $10 with more options if you've got money to burn or just feeling extra generous. Have a look and see for yourself. There's a video with gameplay at the link below, along with everything else you need to know.
Also if you have any questions just message the creator Caroline Moya. The link is on the site. I messaged her twice about controller support( it will support gamepad's) and about the release date. She responded to both that day.
The funding ends FRIDAY APR 27, 9:17PM EDT.
