Cheap Instant Gratification (With Good Combat)?

Dril

Yo yo,

So with all the real releases coming up in the not too distant future (AA, mainly) I'm finding myself lacking a game which has satisying combat yet also features progression. Essentially what I'm looking for is something that's either f2p that only needs a few quid sunk into it or a game that doesn't cost more than, say, £20. I'd greatly prefer action-y combat (if it's at all like LOTR: War in the North or Dark Souls that'd be brilliant) with obvious progression yet without any major grind.

I'm thinking something like Dungeon Defenders, progression-wise, where things obviously change but it isn't super difficult to level up.

Would appreciate any suggestions

Aeonblades

Maybe TERA? It's F2P and a bit grindy at end game, but leveling up was quite fun imo. Has action combat too, I'd rank it above GW2 for responsiveness but just below ESO. It's really not a bad deal for a F2P game.
