blizzard responds to accusations that diablo: immortal is a reskin

This has some of the best and most responsive touch controls I've experienced in a mobile game. It's inside this tried-and-tested narrative that the Diablo universe takes place, and few franchises do it so compellingly.Įvery aspect of Diablo Immortal's visual and mechanical style is a work of art. Hulking demonic engines seek to devour and corrupt humanity, and ultimately overthrow the heavens and dominate in an unrelenting quest for power. Sanctuary is a nestled oasis of comparative calm in a cosmos beset by war between heaven and hell.

Set in the gothic world of Sanctuary, you play as one of several magical adventurers who don enchanted equipment and ultimately set out to defend the world against evil.

It's true that I have never quite loved and hated a game simultaneously so passionately as Diablo Immortal - because it's blatantly obvious this could have been a celebrated game, that defied the creeping rot of pay-to-win and progression-anchored gambling mechanics. I quite honestly want to preface this with what I love about Diablo Immortal, because I know that the dozens of artists, writers, and developers who work on this game didn't wake up one day and think, 'How can we make the most messed-up game in existence?'
