Diablofor Mac

Blizzard is one of the few developers whose titles resonate with players even after many years. What Warcraft did for the RTS genre, Diablo did for the action role-playing games in the ‘90s.

Diablo is an all-time classic that transcends its genre and brings forth an amazing experience for the video game industry.

You choose from three different character classes like warrior, rogue, and sorcerer. Each of these has a different playstyle in combat and special abilities. The strong and resilient warrior can yield many different weapons and charge into battle without fear, thanks to buffed HP and armor stats. Rogues are expert marksmen with the bow, and their superior dexterity enables them to strike from afar with dangerous accuracy. Sorcerers, while weak in close combat and low on HP and armor, can use a variety of powerful spells to decimate enemies from afar.

Find various magic items and weapons in chests or from slain enemies, providing you with new powers and improved character attributes. And the best part is, this is randomized so that players are incentivized to continue on their journey through hell to find the ultimate weapon or armor. The same goes for different enemies, although some are pre-set, only a few will be seen during each playthrough. You’ll most likely come across opponents on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th playthrough you’ve never seen before.

You can test your skills and work together with, or against, three other players with online gameplay. All you need is a Battle.net account on Blizzard’s website. 

Is there a better alternative?

Yes, Diablo 2. It has the same addicting formula with some tweaks and updated graphics. But, the original Diablo is a fantastic game you shouldn’t miss out. 

Where can you run this program?

Diablo is playable on virtually any Windows and MacOS released since the late ‘90s. There’s also a PlayStation version, but the PC version is superior.

Our take

Even after 23 years, Diablo remains a brilliant and challenging game. No classic PC and RPG collection is complete without this gem.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re into action role-playing games or crave some nostalgia for the good ol’ days of PC gaming, then this is a must-play.
