Diablo + Hellfire

For anyone considering buying this: on Windows 7 64-bit SP1, in order to run this game you will need to disable DEP in System Settings. There are guides on how to do this and it's simple and safe, but be aware. For the veterans who know Diablo 1 well: this is exactly as you remember it, with higher definition text, no stretching (the game runs in 4:3 ration with black bars to either side) and no crashing. For newbies to Diablo 1: If you're the patient type and want to see part of Blizzard's original stable that made it the juggernaut it is today, Diablo is awesome, but you must be willing to play D1 on its own terms. There are quality of life additions we take for granted in ARPGs/lootclickers nowadays that are not present in D1 (no item labels unless you're moused over an item on the ground, for example) and the game is difficult in some arbitrary ways that are a result of its age. With that said its atmosphere still can't be beat (tell me you don't get goosebumps listening to the original, best Tristram theme on that 12 string guitar) and it's a lot more open-ended than most games of its genre, meaning that you can turn your Wizard into an excellent Warrior, your Warrior into an excellent archer, etc. Great game and it's about time it got added to GoG.

This is the Diablo that launched a thousand clones, made a fortune for Blizzard, got nearly universal rave reviews. It is by far the spookiest and most atmospheric of the Diablo series. That, for me, makes it the best one. Some here are saying the controls aren't so great, but those complaints are exaggerated. Movement was very good . But most of all, you have procedurally-generated dungeons that give plenty of variety and replayability, beautiful graphics and amazing and sometimes terrifying monsters (the rhino-types always made me jump! and the yellow thingies that fade in and out of reality to attack you were tough and frightening enemies too). The spells are great fun to use and fantastic to watch. The voice work is outstanding and sometimes genuinely scary. There are other Diablos that have come along, and other great clones, but none have replaced the true horror-style spooky pure fun of the original Diablo.

It is a truly amazing game. All maps are randomly generated and it also has this cool rouge-like shrines mechanic. Shrines will give you a random baff or debaff. It grandly adds to replayability. Before you start, you need to know that though game is much better with a fiend, in coop mode no of the side quests will be available. It's only the main quest for the coop players. Also, there's a mod that restores much of the unfinished game content, called Belzebub. If you finished game either solo or in coop mode, consider installing Belzebub.

Game is exactly as I remember from a kid. Works well in windows 10 with no bugs or errors. Game is smooth & easy to load :)

What to say? One of the best game ever, one of the games of my childhood. ATTENTION! I highly recommend installation of the HD mode: https://mod.diablo.noktis.pl/features It makes playing extremely comfortable!
