In the depths of the cathedral in Tristram, beyond the catacombs and deep caves, the power of Prime Evil grows. The townspeople live in fear, praying for someone to descend into darkness, avenge the fallen friends, save Tristram, and destroy their demonic tormentor. Will you answer this call?
Go back to the 1997 game Diablo that started one of the most enduring series of action RPG games. Warriors, Archers, and Sorcerers can now acquire the game from the Battle.net store and once again stand against the darkness in this classic game of its genre. This version includes:
16 levels of old-fashioned dungeon crawling: Journey through the cathedral in Tristram to the very depths of Hell on 16 increasingly difficult levels. Each playthrough offers a completely new randomly generated dungeon layout, providing a fresh challenge every time you delve into the darkness.
Three iconic character classes: Whether you prefer smashing skulls as a Warrior, shooting monsters from afar as an Archer, or harnessing secret powers as a Sorcerer, Diablo has a class that suits your playstyle.
Multiplayer demon slaying: Nothing beats fighting beasts and demons with friends. Join forces with three other players and collectively drive the screaming demons back to Hell.
Loot galore: It wouldn’t be a Diablo game without plenty of randomly generated loot. Unleash powerful weapons and armor from vanquished enemies and upgrade your character’s arsenal.
