Description

"...There's something dark within me now ..."

Knowing full well that Diablo's spirit could never be truly destroyed, you made the noblest sacrifice of all, you took the spirit of Diablo into yourself, hoping that your own strength of will would contain the demon within. You could never have known that your selfless act would not only ensure Diablo's victory, but would irrevocably damn your soul for all time.

Now it's time for extending the story. You can pick among five characters to play: Amazon, Necromancer, Paladin, Sorceress and Barbarian, from which every posses unique abilities.

Like its predecessor, Diablo II is an action RPG. Most of the gameplay is dedicated to roaming wilderness areas and fighting hordes of monsters in real-time combat, gathering experience points. Dungeon layout and items are randomized in this game.
