Diablo + Hellfire

О, вот это хорошо. Надо было сразу с дополнением выпускать. Всем кто не играл обязательно покупать и играть вместе с Diablo 2, чтобы понимать как должна работать механика таких игр. Это эталоны лутер (looter) механики, плюс отличная работа с телепортами. Не знаю, может раньше и были игры с похожей механикой, но только эти стали эталоном. Не даром говорят "Diablolike".

The game is clunky... it's slow... going against Butcher with Sorcerer = suicide... the classes are basically unballanced... Just like I remember from my childhood :) 10/10 Remake of the year

Review written after beating unmodded game as a fighter on 2 difficulties (out of 3) and then playing some popular mods. I recommend playing vanilla first. Vanilla game: Diablo 1 + Hellfire It's not Diablo 2. Enemies don't respawn if you leave the game, you can save anywhere and when loading you start off where you saved instead going back to the town like in D2. If you die, it's game over and you need to reload a save. If you get stuck with not enough levels or items to progress, then you can reset the game, keeping you character and items, but starting over with all monsters and quests available. This give the game a totally different dynamic than Diablo 2, making it similar to traditional RPGs like Baldur's Gate. The game is much slower than Diablo 2, there is no run button and if you play a fighter you will have no options for closing gap to catch ranged enemies quickly. This forces you to develop strategies and take fights slowly, utilizing corners or doorways to divide and conquer enemies. The game is very rewarding if you are willing to put in the effort and in my case - playing the whole thing with no resets gave me a good sense of accomplishment. There's no stash and gold takes room, but you can throw items on the ground in town and they will stay there. Now for the mods, there are 2 popular ones. Belzebub (Diablo HD mod) More items (including item sets with bonuses which were not present in vanilla!) many more quests and in general more content. I played this as a Rogue and it felt very similar to playing D1 vanilla, but the whole dynamic with non-respawning enemies and save/load style of gameplay is gone. Now if you leave game, you start from town with all monsters respawned. There's stash and waypoints like in D2. It's ok, but I wished it didn't change the save/reset mechanic. The Hell 2 Adds a lot of new classes, reworks items - now all classes will have specific items/spells for them and let's you run out of combat.. Makes the game grindy as hell.

Important to note, you can launch just the original Diablo, doesnt have to be hellfire (unofficial xpac) I am very happy I picked this up, lots of games have roots that where planted in the soil of Diablo 1

This is one of my all time favorite games! Brings back so many memories playing this!
