As a reformed Diablo II addict I can easily say that this is probably my favorite RPG ever.

The story isn't particularly spectacular and it obviously lacks the deep characters that populate more recent RPG's but Diablo II took the successful formula of the original Diablo and almost universally improved on it.

It's hard to explain why the Diablo gameplay style is so add... read more

Man, did I burn a lot of hours on this game....

It didn't help that I was in college when this was out and my roommates and I played it all the time. The "problem" with this game is once you start, you can't stop. You run around as this little person and you kill something, then you get a better weapon and kill more, faster, and keep getting stronger, so you kill and pillage mor... read more

Com certeza um grande clássico dos games. Muitos fãs ainda esperam uma continuação de Diablo, e eu sou um deles. Sempre quando volto a jogar, sinto uma nostalgia enorme e ainda acho que o jogo é fabuloso, apesar dos gráficos.

Espero que realmente haja uma continuação.

Description: Diablo II has everything that made the original Diablo great--non-stop action, wicked monsters, dark, Gothic atmosphere and fantastic magic items. But new enhancements such as the class skill-system and cheater-proof multi-player competition make Diablo II even better. With the original character classes gone, players choose from a new cadre of champions--the Barbarian (who can wield two two-handed swords at once, one in each hand), the Necromancer (who raises the dead to fight his battles), the Amazon (master of bow and spear), Paladin (holy crusader) and Sorceress (wielder of elemental magic). These warriors follow a diabol Diablo II has everything that made the original Diablo great--non-stop action, wicked monsters, dark, Gothic atmosphere and fantastic magic items.

With the original character classes gone, players choose from a new cadre of champions--the Barbarian (who can wield two two-handed swords at once, one in each hand), the Necromancer (who raises the dead to fight his battles), the Amazon (master of bow and spear), Paladin (holy crusader) and Sorceress (wielder of elemental magic). These warriors follow a diabolical plot through four acts, and each act is roughly as big as in the original Diablo.

Diablo II looks and behaves very much like Diablo. Players are assigned quests by non-player characters and adventure through dark catacombs and crypts. Hordes of vile monsters assail the hero, who survives by force of arms, powerful spells and through the use of varied and exotic magic items.

Randomly generated dungeons guarantee fresh adventure each time a new game is started. But unlike the original game, characters must fight their way through the above-ground wilderness before entering a dungeon. Fortunately, some of the frustrations of adventuring have been lessened in Diablo II, thanks to the new ability to run and the clever implementation of "waypoints", which let your character quickly travel to and from the safety of town.

Along with the new character classes comes a new character skill system. As in the original game, players improve their character's ability scores as they kill monsters and gain experience. But unlike the original game, players get to add specific skills, spells and powers each time they advance. Other enhancements include a method for creating and customising magic items, 3-D accelerated spell effects, anti-cheat multi-player and a place to safely store excess money and equipment.

Even without these tweaks, even without the sophisticated story line and all the cool new features, Diablo II is just a great game. The sound, music and graphics combine to create a tantalisingly eerie setting. Players will willingly let their game-playing hours slip well past reasonable bedtimes, suffering bleary-eyed classes and meetings in exchange for "just one more" magic item, dungeon level or character skill. Diablo is back. ... (more)

IGN's Top 100 RPGS of All Time (2017) (100 games items)

" What many consider not just the pinnacle of the Diablo series, but the pinnacle of the isometric action RPG genre we’ve come to know and love, Diablo II is truly something more than its parts. From its dark, moody music and visual trappings, to its lengthy and lofty story, Blizzard’s return to its series that pits angels against demons with man trapped in the middle is a masterclass in atmospheric adventuring. Made both accessible and engaging by its unique classes and skills, the endless "
