So I just have one thing to say to people who are mad that Blizzard, employing a team that wasn't even working on the main Diablo franchise, made a new Diablo game: Grow up. People are also mad that Blizzard didn't announce new content for Diablo 3 and didn't announce Diablo 4, the latter of which the company expressly said it wasn't going to reveal. People immediately lashed out, calling the announcement a joke because they think the game is inherently bad and will surely be full of micro-transactions that chip away at the integrity of the series. So why are they mad that there's a new Diablo game? A lot of people who are Mad Online™ about Diablo Immortal claim to be fans of the franchise too. Just look at the replies to any recent tweets from the Diablo Twitter account. The Wizard fighting against a big ol' demon.Īnd yet, without even giving the game a shot, tons of people are pissed at Blizzard for daring to make a new Diablo game. It's pretty similar to how the game works with a console controller. You move around by using a digital analog 'stick' on the left side of the screen, while all your abilities are arranged on the right side of the screen.

Some of the beauty of the Diablo franchise is that it's pretty easy to navigate, and that simple movement system translates very well to mobile with Diablo Immortal. And this is coming from someone who is generally not a fan of touch controls. It was a blast - the controls are simple and laid out very well, the action feels like classic Diablo, and the level design had a great foreboding feel to it. I got my hands on the demo of it and blasted through the levels with a Barbarian, and then I did it again with a Wizard. The boss fights look interesting, the levels look more dynamic than ever before, and, to be frank, I like the Diablo Immortal aesthetic more than I like Diablo 3's aesthetic.
