Table of Contents
This is the only mobile game in the whole list. The fact that, according to initial announcements, Diablo Immortal was to appear exclusively on mobile phones and tablets with Android and iOS systems, caused quite a controversy. Ultimately, this title also debuted on PC. However, this is just a port and it was primarily designed for portable devices. It was a huge let down for Diablo fans. Mobile games usually present low quality and are focused on microtransactions.
After the release, a whole bunch of players appeared claiming that it's a pay-to-win disaster. What's more, people who spent tens of thousands of dollars or more in Diablo Immortal (yes, there really were ones), often didn't receive the desired items. These are given randomly. That said, you can have a great time in the game without spending even a penny - there is no feeling that something is blocked. If you don't believe it, check for yourselves. The hate that was poured out on this "mobile game" is, in my opinion, mostly undeserved.
Upon first launching Diablo Immortal, it's striking how good this game looks. The graphic design is top-notch and it's hard to believe that such great effects were achieved on a mobile phone. At the same time, the title runs completely fluidly and doesn't require a top smartphone from this or last year.
The gameplay comes down to... well, it's just another Diablo. Except that the gameplay is much faster and better suited for short sessions. The controls are surprisingly comfortable. Primarily, you need to activate skills. You can access up to four at the same time. However, there are many more skills, which allows you to create your own playing style. The basic attack works all the time when you hold your finger on it. There's no need for quick tapping.
The story takes place between events presented in Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Besides the plot, we get access to bounties, contracts, rifts, and instances. There were also no shortage of the well-known paragons, levels gained after reaching level 60. The mobile version added a whole bunch of new materials and currencies. This production is extended and doesn't allow you to get bored for a very long time. I encourage you to give it a chance and get to experience Diablo Immortal on your own, rather than relying solely on opinions from the Internet. After all, it's free - the title is available for free.
