More roguelikeish than I was expecting. Looks and sounds wonderful. Unfortunately the game's design opened a portal to behaviorally-manipulative proto-microtransactional slot machine Hell and we all live there now
i played this on my fat play 1 and boy what a fun
I was so addicted to this game as a kid despite it scaring the crap out of me. Any time the Butcher said "FRESH MEAT" I almost jumped out of my chair, and it definitely gave me nightmares. I always wanted to try and beat this as a warrior, as my brothers had each taken either the rogue or sorcerer, but I could never get much further than floor 8 before the ranged enemies like spitters got too overwhelming. Always ended up caving and playing a rogue (aka easy mode) instead. The series has certainly been improved since, but I still find this a lot of fun to revisit, especially the randomized quest pools and levels making each playthrough feel unique
video games distilled into a bottle would be diablo. kleptomania ravages the mind as you see your numbers go up and as you delve deeper into the dungeon. stock pile supplies, repair armor, become a military surplus merchant, you constantly build up your character in just about every way possible. despite some annoying ass enemy behavior in the end game, this was incredibly fun and addicting. fuck dude this was so cool.
Despite it's age and simplicity there is a distinct charm to whacking baddies and talking to silly NPCs.
Sort of dropped - got right to the end but couldn't make progress, wanted me to start all over again and grind and I just don't like the game enough to do that. Great atmosphere and art, very charming, but meh- it's been done so much better since this one. Still you gotta give points for it being the first of it's kind.
This for me is not the greatest Diablo game. Diablo II takes that price for sure.
This came out when I was like 15 or so.
I was a teenage boy, that listened to Nirvana and Metallica, had long hair, and an attitude.
I was in a dark period doing dumb stuff with my dumb teenage 🧠.
This game with it's dark themes and wonderful gameplay made sure that I had fewer hours to do other dumb stuff.
I was reading Dragon Lance, playing MtG and DnD so having a game give me a taste of hacking and slashing, leveling, finding gear, equipping, doing magic was unbelievably awesome for an idiot kid like me.
What wonderful hours I spent in this world.

Still a wonderfully dark, tense, harsh ARPG that set the groundwork for the genre to come.
Um clássico. Um dos maiores Hack-and-slash da história dos video-games.É um jogo que começa somente com uma simples aventura e se torna algo colossal no final do e eu amei isso. A história vai progredindo de uma forma sensacional e eu me senti extremamente imerso principalmente com a música PERFEITA dessa obra-prima.
got me through some really rough classes so it did its job
