Diablo III is the inheritor of this legacy, and we've added even more elements to the game to keep building on our vision for the world of Sanctuary. In Diablo III, runes give you unprecedented control over your skills and powers, changing elemental damage types, accuracy, and area of effect; adding new debilitating effects like slows and stuns; and even altering the nature and appearance of your abilities.
Sometimes a hero needs a helping hand. Followers, champions brave enough to join you in battle against the Burning Hells, are similar to Henchmen from Diablo II in that they can be outfitted with relevant arms and armor, but they're upgradable with their own skills, allowing you to customize how they fight and what passive benefits they convey. They're also fleshed-out personalities in their own right.
As you meet and assist people during your journey through Sanctuary, some of the world's most talented craftsmen will sign on to travel with you. These artisans are capable of putting the materials you'll find in the wilderness or salvage from unneeded items to good use, hammering out customized suits of armor or combining gems to unlock their powers.
Invest time and money into an artisan's training, fill their shop with worthy materials, and they'll keep improving the quality of items they can produce, augment or combine for you. To push Diablo's blistering fast pace even harder, we've made some changes to Diablo III's character and inventory 'management' systems, so you'll spend more time using new powers to slay your enemies and get loot.
Rather than hoarding skill points and holding off on improving your abilities while you wait levels for an ideal build, Diablo III lets you "respec" your skills readily to experiment with interesting choices. You can also share items between all of your characters just by placing them in your stash, and you can identify unknown items and teleport back to town without needing to collect scrolls and tomes to do so. Combat in Diablo III follows the established model of clicking on your squealing, snarling enemies and watching the carnage — but it's deeper and richer.
Scads of defensive abilities for each class mean more tactical possibilities; cooldowns on potions guarantee that choosing your targets carefully and controlling the battlefield is as important as what you bring with you to a fight, and the presence of health globes ensures that mobility can mean the difference between life and death.
Diablo III adds new control options to the classic Diablo II hotbar, including full customization of all shortcut and mouse buttons, to make using your skills during combat quicker than it's ever been. There are seven classes in Diablo III; five the barbarian, witch doctor, demon hunter, wizard, and monk are veterans of the battle for Sanctuary. The crusader joins them in the Reaper of Souls expansion, and the necromancer from the Rise of the Necromancer pack, boasting many, many new destructive tricks for tearing through foes.
Each class has a unique resource system and appropriately different playstyle. Diablo III has more different, distinct monsters than Diablo I and II, and these monsters all bring their own special destructive abilities, some new and some familiar.
The variety of Diablo III's random items is similar to that of the other Diablo games though we've included Legendary items , but we've added thousands of new combinations, many with unique abilities and previously unseen properties. New weapon and equipment types, like the demon hunter's one-handed crossbows and witch doctors' mojos, also provide a great deal of class-specific flavor. In past Diablo games, fighting with other players acquired something of a storied history.
In Diablo III, we wanted to create a more formalized play-space for heroes to test their mettle — so we decided to marry classic Diablo dueling to opt-in fights in the Scorched Chapel, a zone designed for brutal, fast-paced free-for-all combat.
These core qualities are called attributes , numbers that represent just how potent a particular hero is in their areas of expertise. Each class has each one of these attributes, but depending on your preferred play style, you might be more interested in some attributes more than others.
For example, if you find yourself darting in and out of combat to deliver quick strikes instead of going toe-to-toe with enemies, you might be more concerned with your Damage, and less concerned with Vitality. Attributes are raised automatically as your level increases. Diablo III is not over when you finish its final Act. You might want a tougher or easier experience; to that end, you can choose the difficulty of your game in the Game Settings menu. Increased difficulty means hardier, more deadly monsters and increased rewards like more gold and experience.
In the Torment difficulty setting, you will also find unique, legendary armor and weapons that are only available in that difficulty level. As you grow in power, so too will your enemies. For more detailed information on difficulty levels, check the Game Difficulty section of this guide. When creating a new hero on the character creation page, you can choose to create a hardcore character.
Hardcore characters differ from "normal" characters in only one crucial area:. They will never be playable again. Hardcore characters can only share the items in their stash with your other hardcore characters. They are not recommended for the faint of heart.
While inside a game, you can select the envelope icon on the bottom left corner to access the messages system. If you redeem any Collector's Edition keys for Blizzard Entertainment games with exclusive Diablo III rewards, they will be mailed to you through this window. If you've participated in Seasons, any items present in your Seasonal stash will also be sent to you through this window after each Season ends.

Use your skills to slay your enemies. However, at its core, it very much shares the same spirit as the Blizzard franchise. In Dungeon Siege , you get to control your humble player character and make them go on a murderous adventure for riches or better apparel and weapons.
The combat in the first game was intense enough to set it apart from many other isometric RPGs back in Meanwhile, the sequels add some tweaks to the core gameplay that drastically change how you approach combat and character builds. Thanks to mods like Median XL, you can now enjoy Diablo II on a much higher resolution than when it was originally installed. Suffice to say, Diablo II aged like fine wine-- at least for single player. It improved upon the core formula of the first Diablo and added some revolutionary new features, so it quickly became the template for most isometric action roleplaying games aRPGs.
Besides, the atmosphere and music of Diablo II are still somewhat unmatched these days. That's because its developers introduced a two-class combination system that shook theory-crafting and min-maxing in aRPGs to their core. Beyond that, it was the standard hack-and-slash dungeon crawler with an open-world format.
Even so, Titan Quest, like Diablo II, has aged well these days, enough to warrant a remaster from the developers. That means you'll have no problem firing up your Titan Quest once again and going on a global mythological adventure to slay some Titans who are causing trouble. Made by the same developers responsible for Titan Quest , Grim Dawn continues its developers' flagship formula of the dual-class system.
This means Grim Dawn is every bit as diverse in gameplay as Titan Quest, but ditches the mythology setting for a darker medieval fantasy romp. In that sense, it's a lot closer to Diablo III in terms of atmosphere, though it's certainly more mature and grungy. Gameplay might also be a little slow for people who were used to the fast-paced combat of Diablo games, but it's pretty much the same hack-and-slash looter that we all came to love.
It also incorporates a dynamic class system similar to Grim Dawn 's or Titan Quest 's where your base class can evolve into something more powerful and versatile. Last Epoch also sports a rather similar and familiar user interface with the spherical health and mana orbs that the first Diablo game popularized.
The indie dark fantasy aRPG is still in early access, but the price is affordable enough not to discourage anyone wanting to give it a try. Whether it's the first Torchlight game or the second, we recommend either. Some members of the development team for both games are also some of the original developers for the first and second Diablo game.
You might even find the music all too familiar in Torchlight I or II if you've been a longtime fan of Diablo. In any case, what sets Torchlight apart is its cartoonish graphics and steampunk setting. The classes are varied enough to warrant replayability, and the developers went out of their way to make the loot as addicting as possible with set items giving mouth-watering bonuses and increasing theory-crafting possibilities.
One of the biggest gripes for Diablo III is the cartoonish graphics; pair that with the rather arcade-like skill customization and the game looks a lot less hardcore and deep compared to its predecessor.
Now, if you want something close to Diablo III 's atmosphere but doesn't make the same design choices it did, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is a close competitor.
It's from an indie developer and as of now, is still in the early access phase but it's very much playable and fun. Wolcen showcases electrifying combat with highly-detailed characters and enemies. Plus the art style and atmosphere are notably darker than Diablo III 's. Again, it's still in early access, but already has a nearby released date of January If you want a hack-and-slash aRPG that brings something new and exciting to the table, then Book of Demons might satiate your need for novelty.
