A shattered megalith that possesses tremendous power called the Worldstone, has attracted forces of ancient evils who plan to gather all the shards to enslave all of mankind. Diablo Immortal, which is an installment of the Diablo series, is quite intriguing as it serves as a sequel to Diablo II and a prequel to Diablo III. 

There are numerous reasons as to why players are enticed to engage in this franchise, but for me, here are the top grounds:

10. The Solid Fan-base

This game has an extremely dedicated fan-base who has been waiting eagerly for its release. I could attest to this, as I am one of the countless fans who’ve waited and luckily didn't get disappointed upon its release! Diablo Immortal has turned out to be an outstanding hit as it surpassed $100m in revenue in just a couple of months after its launch!

 

9. The Indulging Transmedia Experience

The game is not made just for hard-core fans of the Diablo franchise. As it features the original story from the events of the original Diablo game, its rich and vibrant multimedia experience, even someone who never heard of the game would be easily hooked on to it. Explore the massive world of sanctuary like never before!

 

8. Cross-platform interaction

Never in the existence of Diablo has it expanded into the mobile gaming industry, until now. So whether you prefer playing on your PC, through your smartphone, or even via a controller, you'd be able to achieve great heights on whatever you are comfortable with. The game also caters players from both Android and iOS, so whatever platform you are is not an issue.

 

7. Absolutely Free-to-Play

The previous installment of the series has been criticized for its notorious microtransaction system, which made it a game that was more for the wealthy. That's not the case with Diablo Immortal as Blizzard has decided to go and even expand their fan-base this time, opening the game for the public to enjoy, free of charge! Although there are in-game purchases that are available, the ability to obtain valuable legendary gems in the game matters by mere luck.

 

6. Story-driven content and Automated Character-applicable Drops

Diablo Immortal’s campaign is led by new characters facing fearsome enemies from the petrifying territories of the underworld. A definite struggle with the original series was looting equipment, as it would drop random gears for different characters making it useless. Now, once you slay your foes and acquire a Legendary three-stat piece, then you are sure to rejoice as it would be available to wield for your character.

 

5. User-friendly Interface

Some players could find MMORPGs to be a bit confusing and intricate. Although it can be overwhelming for someone who's new to the genre, the outstanding accessible guides and straightforward interface aids tremendously in adjusting and getting you settled in! Effortless controls have been structured for ease of character motion and control. Players also have the option to interact in the open world chat system and seek for any assistance from the rest of the adventurers in the world of sanctuary if need be.

 

4. Stunning Aesthetics

Diablo Immortal boasts phenomenal visuals and graphics bringing the world of Sanctuary to life. Players are taken through a hellish yet exhilarating journey through tormented plains, fiery pits, frozen wastelands, and ancient ruins facing the most notorious adversaries humans have never seen!

 

3. Dynamic In-Game Experience

The game runs players through a series of hell level difficulties while paragon levels and equipment stats increase. Diablo Immortal truly brings out the competitiveness in its players when taking out challenging dungeons, boss raids, and most especially Player-vs-Player (PVP) action. For those who plan to join the Diablo Immortal community but fear that they have been left behind as it has already been out for months shouldn’t, as the bonus experience points system bestows new comers and casual players the ability to catch up along with the current server paragon levels.

 

2. Familiar Gameplay and Classes

It wouldn't be a Diablo game without the familiar gameplay and classes from the Diablo franchise. Players are to choose on which play style would suit them.

a. There are three options for those who love the classic hack-and-slash melee characters. The barbarian who carries dual blades to whirl unto crowds of monsters, the monk who has a mix of strength and vitality, and also the crusader with its valuable support blessed upon teammates with raids/parties.

b. My personal choice is the Wizard as he wields immense arcane power from within, thus allowing me to deal bolts of destruction from afar! The ability to teleport and wreak havoc towards a wide area of coverage has just sealed the deal for me. Two other ranged classes are available as well, namely; the necromancer who disrupts battles with waves of summoned creatures, and the demon hunter with its tactical sharpshooting capabilities and deadly crippling damage.

 

1. Collaborating with Clans to Reign Supreme as Immortals

Warbands allow players to team up and help each other to take on challenging quests through a limited group, creating a special brotherhood together. Raids conducted by warbands give out extra rewards, encouraging players to team up and abolish the demons within the dark portal at the core of the thriving town of Westmarch. Clans are specially designed for players to face off rivals to achieve total domination over the land of Sanctuary.
