As the walking speed of most characters is somewhat glacial, being able to run away is always a good plan B, yet it is much harder to disengage from combat this time around. That facility is not there in Diablo II, and is a big omission.
For instance, in Diablo III – which incidentally I did spend an enormous amount of time playing – a quick flick of the right stick saw your character dodge whatever incoming damage was heading their way. But this does mean there are things missing from the likes of Diablo III that I really miss. So, we have plenty of combat options, how does Diablo II in Resurrected form play out? Well, it appears that those behind it have decided not to mess about with the formula too much. The next run out though was focused on the Necromancer – mostly as I like the idea of resurrecting dead monsters to fight for me while I chill at the back of the battle. Switching ideas is certainly doable. On my first runthrough I chose an Amazon and built her into a sharp and pointy stick queen, able to poison enemies and heal herself with every poke. Two other classes that came into the original game with the Lord of Destruction DLC are also available in Resurrected, with the Druid being a shapeshifter, able to become a bear or a wolf, along with nature based elemental magic, and the Assassin – a martial arts based character with a nice sideline in elemental traps.Įvery class has a multitude of playstyles, and depending on the equipment they get, can be developed into several different builds finding a play style that suits you is all part of the fun. There is also a Barbarian who likes nothing more than getting all up close and personal with melee weapons (and incidentally the only class that can dual wield weapons), a sorceress specialising in elemental magic, and – the last of the original classes – the Paladin, a holy warrior with special abilities against the undead. You can choose from an Amazon who specialises in bows, spears and javelins, or a Necromancer who can summon an undead army to fight for him.
Now, luckily, we have a variety of classes to choose from in our attempt to stop Diablo and bring an end to his reign of terror. Of course, now that the Dark Wanderer is running about the place, someone has to shut him down, and guess who that someone is? That’s right, it’s us! The animation and work that has gone into the video is amazing, and I highly recommend that you watch it instead of skipping through, looking for hands-on action. This is explained in a cutscene at the start of the game, and I have to say, the quality of this absolutely blew me away when I first watched it.
