Description

It's an action-rpg. At the beginning, you choose your character, warrior, sorceror or rogue. These characters can use different weapons, spells and equipment. The game starts in a town, where you can buy new stuff for your hero / heroine. You also get certain quests from the inhabitants there. Now you continue your way down to one of the 16 randomly created dungeon levels. There are loads of monsters to kill, after you have gained a certain number of experience points you can upgrade your skills. You find money which you can use to buy new weapons or scrolls or book etc. in town. The game features a great range of monsters, from simple skeletons to Diablo himself.

Trivia

And in future news, Diablo is still being played by people on battle.net in 2003. This is based on the fact that hundreds of people are still devoted players playing on battle.net in 2002. Though much has changed since robotriot^skp's 1999 contribution, the game remains the same, complete with hordes of cheaters and Koreans and the infamous cow level.
