For new players who love Action-RPGs, and want a taste of the genre’s history, I highly recommend this rerelease that is updated to run better on modern systems. Be aware that you’ll be dealing with antiquated movement, menus, equipment info, and looting systems. But this rerelease is still a great way to experience this classic for a first-time player and a good value at $10. For returning players who want a modernized rerelease, this version is fair but lazy. It will run better on modern systems but the graphical improvements are basic at best. There are two version of the game. The first one is called ‘Diablo’ and “This version features LAN connections only & high-resolution support.” The second is titled ‘Diablo (Classic)’ and “This version features Battle.net support & original SVGA graphics.” Thus, LAN but not online, is the only mode that takes advantage of the videos settings for turning up the resolution and applying other modern enhancements. Even though the ‘Diablo’ version does support 4K resolutions the aspect ratio stays the same as there is no widescreen support. You’re getting, for $10, a version of Diablo that will run on modern systems and has slightly updated resolution and graphical capabilities limited based on playmode. If what you're expecting is Diablo 1.5 then this is not for you. Players expecting Diablo 1.5 and comfortable with modding this may be for you. Diablo 1 HD aka: Belzebub makes Diablo more modernly accessible. It adds modern qualities of life, gives in game video settings and widescreen support, and looks gorgeous! This mod does make the game more difficult (mobs are bigger), and adds new classes, quests, items, spells, bosses, and locations as well as general fixes and tweaks to bugs and drop rates. The last version of this mod released in Sep 2014 and still looks better than this rerelease. If you're in the market for a new copy of Diablo and comfortable modding it $10 isn’t too bad and makes this a 4/5 star game.
