Diablo + Hellfire

In it's time, Diablo was groundbreaking. It MADE the genre. Obviously, as a pioneer, it has it's failings. Later games were smoother, better designed, more polished. But Diablo was there first, and just for that - it deserves a bit of your time. If not for the still enjoyable (though - by today standards - EXTREMELY clunky) gameplay, then for the huge chunk of gaming history that this game is. The game's lore - while not very original - is still entertaining and well delivered. Just a small tip: if you don't care for lore or various events, but want to just focus on the gameplay, you might want to play multiplayer (even if alone). Single player has random quests, more lore and has some special items you might find, but - unlike multi - you can get through everything only once (i.e. after you cleared a location, it stays clear forever). Multi is nearly lore-free, you get the same quests always (Butcher, Skeleton King, Lazarus, Diablo), but you can replay levels all you want and grind (and go into higher difficulties).

Total classic. The atmosphere is toned just right.

The first time I played this game and got butchered by that fathermucker Butcher was back in 1999 and I was only 9 then. I wonder why my sanity was not destoryed by that kind of experience... Now the nightmare comes back and He'd pwned me in 2019 again. This is a huge thank you very much Blizzard and GOG from Shenzhen, China

Diablo is a true classic. It's a bit simple by today's standards but more than makes up that in other ways. Pick it up and give it a try.

I loved the game when it came out, and it is still a good game. But if you never played it before, Diablo2 is so much better than the first opus! Just go directly for Diablo2. The gameplay of Diablo-Hellfire is very basic and frustrating when you tried more recent games. It was a pioneer of the genre and invented a lot back then, but now it is outdated.
