Diablo + Hellfire

Even though I played a couple of ARPGs before, this was my first contact with the Diablo series... and I'm pleasantly surprised! I can see how this game was revolutionary for the entire genre back in 1996/1997. Of course, a couple of mechanics are quite archaic, although I still spent 2 lovely days playing Diablo. A must-play for every Diablo/ARPGs fan!

Un classique à posséder absolument. A jouer avec un mod tel que Belzebub ou Devilution, perso j'utilise Devilution pour jouer et c'est impeccable. Sinon que dire de Diablo, à part qu'il traverse les âges et que encore aujourd'hui il reste un très bon hack'n'slash. Vous ne l'avez jamais fait ? alors foncez !

If you remember the days of win95 /98. Dial-up internet and playing on B.net with friends. (hopeful not being that one friend that always lagged the game. >.>) This well crafted adventure through the depths of Tristram to beat back the forces of hell itself. Should bring back fond memories. Even if you never played it and like Diablo 4. It is a fun game and a glimpse at were the series began.

Diablo 2 was the first Diablo game I played... Diablo 1 was the first Diablo game that I finished. Let that sink in, Diablo is the masterpiece. Any complaints about this game are legit a skill issue. PS: And yes everything past Diablo 2's expansion is just a skin-puppet wearing the Diablo name.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to like this old software as much as I did, but it was pretty entertaining to mess around with the original example of an ARPG. Like, it's extremely simple compared to more modern takes, and there's some really annoying design things that make later levels of the labyrinth super annoying, like throwing 40 of a super annoying ranged mage enemy in one area and expecting you to just deal with that...but the loose class system means you can basically do what you want buildwise and it'll work. I ran the entire early game as a typical dex Monk, but became a spellcasting Monk later with just a few levels' worth of points in Magic and the right gear, it just worked, and got me to the end to beat beat Diablo. So it's definitely fun to check out despite it's first entry woes. Not to mention it ran super well with no crashes at all, gotta thank the GoG team for keeping this in such a good condition that it runs buttery smooth on a Windows 10 machine. Would reccommend it to anyone curious about it.
