Diablo + Hellfire

Oh sure, it's atmospheric and visually appealing throughout and it actually starts off good. Kind of like a roguelike with the randomly generated levels and with your movement being locked down onto a grid - except there's no permadeath. You can save your game and reload it at any time, but even then the game doesn't use that as an excuse to kill you suddenly and without warning so I suppose it has that. What it doesn't have is a satisfying progression and difficulty curve. Halfway through the game the levels that were functional rooms and corridors turn into caverns and most of the enemies become these irritating projectile spammers that constantly move away from you, making the experience sort of akin to a bullet hell game, except if you're playing a warrior -- which, believe it or not, you still should -- you can't shoot back and thus have to slowly wade across the grid not being able to dodge the projectiles and rarely getting attacks in because there's a signficant chance to miss them through stat-based RNG BS, and thus the only strategy for survival becomes to chug a ridiculous stockpile of health potions since armor in this game is actually useless because you lose your AC when you move. When you are facing melee enemies again, they now gang up on you now in sometimes absurd numbers and stunlock you as you barely get hits in and burn through more potions. The loot system that defined the genre this game created just isn't there yet. You rarely get enchanted gear and have an even rarer chance of getting uniques and they're sometimes useless even then. The stores in this games almost never sell anything you'll want meaning you'll end up very rich by the end of the game even with all the potions you need to buy. As for the Hellfire expansion, don't bother with it. It's no longer canon, adds 8 more levels that are more of the same of the game's latter half and makes Diablo himself even more annoying as a final boss by giving him way too much health.

Everyone know Diablo and there is nothing new here. But if want to buy it due to advertised "High Res" - do not do it as it does not work. Pictures on store page looks like 1280x1024 scaled down to 640x480, while reality is opposite - on native 1280x1024 screen game looks like stretched 640x480 and no setting is able to fix it. Also, this is one of this game that you better keep memories and do not retry to play in modern days. Gameplay mechanics does not aged well. That combined with low res graphics make it a very disappointing experience.

Cant save, crashes, deletes characters... reached out to support a week ago and no response yet.

As the title says. This is a great game. My main problem being that this is a bad pricing for such an old game, even on sale. They have the audacity doing this with multiple games too! Not recommended on my part because of this. Wait for a 50% or higher sale.

Original game was cross platform, woulda been great if they re-released a Mac version too.
