暗黑破坏神 + 地狱火

Still a great game if you are prepared to download at least one of the great mods available out there: this game comes with Hellfire so I'd say The Hell 2, which will add a bunch of QOL features and gameplay changes/enhancements as well as rearrange the village layout to a much more accessible map, all the while claiming it enhances on the original ideas and inspiration of the game - which it does. Play it this way and you will find this game can stand the test of time.

I'll be brief : this version of Diablo just doesn't run well. It keeps freezing, hanging for a while, looks bad on modern displays... it's a mess in today's day and age. So why would I recommend getting it ? Well, there's a source port known as DevilutionX. If you're unfamiliar with source ports, they're basically softwares meant to run old programs in a modern environment to not only make them look better, but in some cases simply make them able to run correctly on modern hardware. And let me tell you : DevilutionX is a god-sent. Not only is it very quick to load, but it is also available on a total of 14 different platforms including regular ones like Windows, Mac OS, Linux, but also more unexpected hardware like the Xbox One/Series or the PS4 (granted yours is hacked, which is up to you to decide whether or not you wanna open that can of worms). All you need is the game's files which you can get by buying this version, and the proper version of DevilutionX depending on which platform you want to run Diablo on, and you can get playing and customizing the game to your heart's content ! You can even host a server on the LAN and make it work between a PC, a PS Vita and a 3DS (I'm not even kidding !!) At the end of the day, I'll give this release 3 stars for minimal effort porting the game to modern hardware (like too many GoG releases unfortunately). Diablo and Hellfire are still as awesome s they were back in the late 90s, but they haven't aged well as softwares and a proper port would've made the process of getting this game to run on my laptop at all much easier, which it didn't. But on the flipside, I got to experience once more the joy of open-source, community-made ports which will always rock and always justify the purchase of old games.

For us Old School gamers, this is as good as it gets. There was NOTHING like this game when it came out. The online, the soundtrack, the difficulty. It was all there. IMO 10$ is a no brainer. I just wish that Blizzard had teamed up with Beelzebub to include the mods and extra content. Must buy for all us old fogeys who are hardcore Blizzard North fans.

Even after 20 years the sound design in this games is unmatched in many games that come out today. Atmospheric and dark to downright horrific, its guaranteed to set the tones of a land plagued by darnkess. Even though graphics and gameplay hasnt aged as well as some, Diablo is still a classic that can be enjoyed with how simple it can be, but also with how challenging it is. If you know someone ho hasnt played this, sit them down, give them a good pair of headphones, turn off the lights, and let them reach the butcher.

Let me tell you: if you weren't there to experience the internet culture of the 90s, but more specifically the internet gaming culture of that time, you missed out on something glorious. I cannot even begin to describe how magical those times were; very little in the way of politics, of race, of division, of the things that make you want to go on a digital detox. It was a marvelous time to be alive back then. A friend of mine introduced to Warcraft II and we bonded over it until the release of Diablo I, which coincided with the purchase of my family's first PC. Along with Diablo I we saw the introduction of Battle.net and the inception of mass socialization. In person I was socially awkward, self-diagnosed "on the spectrum," but online, on Battle.net, I was free to express "my true self". It was only then that I grew intellectually by leaps and bounds. Something about being a preteen and interacting with a lot of adults (the majority of the Internet population at that time) will do that to you. Speaking of the actual gameplay, well, what can I say, it birthed an entire genre (ARPGs) and spawned hundreds of clones. As another reviewer alluded to, it's mostly a (left) clicking game. It's repetitive, it's monotonous, but it follows a formula that works. You'll never tire of clicking as the game progression is very rewarding in the form of loot, skill progression, etc. It's not as fast paced as Diablo II, Diablo III and modern ARPGs, but I prefer it since I grew up with and am accustomed to it. If you're new to the series, or if you've just played Diablo II & III, I would definitely recommend Diablo I. I haven't played it in quite some time, but I still listen to the soundtrack at least once or twice per month. Everything about the game is an all time classic for me. I'd like to see a remake of it like Diablo II Resurrected, but in the meantime it's still completely playable. Play it!
