![]() ![]() I couldn’t help but be sucked in by the breakneck pace established across the first 30 or so levels as I grew in power, ranked up my gear, unlocked new skills and found out more about the latest existential threat to Sanctuary, largely via series mascot Deckard Cain. A good run for a mobile game with recycled assets and pre existing lore.The early going, however, is a heap of fun. ![]() Since NetEase is the other end of this game, it will likely run 3 years before really getting the skeleton crew treatment. So long as they keep a ceiling that can be purchased and they make it inviting enough, which they achieved already, people will spend money, not just whales. Blizzard also will not lose sleep over the expected ebb and flow of free users. The casual market will not be bothered by the struggles of those looking for competition or a fully fleshed out box priced game experience. Most importantly, mobile games for free users have an average lifespan on their phones and it's like a month to three months iirc. Diablo has just grind systems but in a very fleshed out world with stellar art design. The most insidious and prolific mobile gaming problem is straight up false advertising and manipulative ads such as Proof of Concept videos (looking at you Top War, Rise of Cultures). Most of these games have that AND another system to slow it down for free players and encourage purchases. The spiral cost trend with grinds fixed in is only one system to make a game unfun. Really, go play some Raid Shadow Legends, maybe some Kingdom Maker, Empire Defense, EHW (or EHW Premium or EHW Premium+ or EHW ++, or Path of Immortals, maybe some World of Warships for puregrind, or Ni No Kuni (lmao nfts) etc. This game is shiny AF in the grand scheme of mobile action RPGs. Too many people are looking at this as a Diablo game first, not a casual entry to Diablo for mobile gamers first. Cruddy graphics and worse monetization and ads, ads, ads. Go pick up a Clan-style game and do a comparison. There is content in DI that will last ages for casuals. Play some other mobile titles, this is not even close to the truly bad stuff. ![]()
