Diablo + Hellfire

The game that started a Genre from the simple concept of "Hey, let's take Rogue and just make everything real-time!" Incredibly solid old-school game. Furthermore, has a fanmade 'conversion/update/modernization' patch called Belzebub which is pretty high up there on the list of best things ever. If the vanilla classic is maybe a bit too rough for you to play, then rolling up Belzebub, instead, is an excellent way to experience this classic game with just the right sprinkle of extra QOL and gameplay depth added.

This game was - and still is - a unique experience. It is dark, brutal and medium paced where the newer diablos (and it´s clones) are colorful and fast. The soundtrack is.. well.. this DEFINES sounds and music of a dark themed hack´n´slay. There are few game soundtracks that I still remember after a few years. This is one. But there are - of course - some issues regarding comfort. Just 4 keybindings (f5-f8), no highlighting or even autocollecting things the enemies left for you.. The graphics tend to be a bit annoying with the old lighting system. No auto-attack; you have to click those enemies to death quite literaly. Yes yes, all true, but this is STILL worth playing and very rewarding.

I found my original copy during my visit back home and I was hankering to get it here once again. I only wonder where my Hellfire copy is... never finished it though. This gem is a must play if you're a Diablo fan or even a Blizzard fan in general. I has many moments of dread, horror & gut wrenching moments where you have to think on your clunky feet to survive and beat back hell. One challenging bit is that "what you get is what you get!" So manage your resources wisely.

This game is a must play for everyone. Addicting and exiting. I bought it immediately when i heard it was released and was not disappointed. Worth the money. The only downside is that there are some problems in the b.net play. I hear people are not able to join any of the higher difficulty games. If the online worked without problems i would play it A TON more.

When I was about 5 or 6 I remember sitting on the edge of the pool table at my old house and calling out when my dad needed to heal or use mana potions. I'd seen this game inside and out but I'd never actually made it past level 5 myself until today. A lot of this game is nostalgia for me but a lot of it is still just really good and for the $10 price tag it is definitely worth it. It's nice to see how much detail even in this early game in the franchise Blizzard had ideas of the greater world of Diablo and its awesome to see how much of it survived and was included in the newest title. Playing this just makes me want to play a ton of Diablo clones. The atmosphere doesn't terrify me like it did when I was a kid but it's still very creepy and spooktastic and the music and ambience make the game come together so well.
