It's the same publisher and developer as the recent Nickelodeon ones, so no MTX, just very cheap and low-effort.

Has anyone tried making a Diablo 1 clone, that was the best one IMO. Spooky, lonely, desecrated horror vibe with a singular mission to beat up the devil. Sometimes you ory a cool weapon off a corpse or find a treasure stash but mostly you're trying to survive with what you can get your hands on, balancing any gold you find with limited potions you need to buy carry. Also it has an ending where you just stop playing it.

There's been a few attempts, but all of them are missing the atmosphere of Diablo 1.

It's tonally not even close, but Torchlight 1 is the only "Diablo 1 clone" I know of, where there's a town with a dungeon entrance and you progress by going progressively further down through various zones until you hit the bottom to defeat the big boss. It has good music by the Diablo composer too.

I've been thinking about playing Diablo III again. It has a user population of like 0 now, but the rift/greater rift system was just a really chill time.

There's gotta be some people still playing it, who will always be playing it. That means when you encounter anyone they are the true Diablo Tresses.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


D3 has been in S28 since February so it's kind of dead but even then you can join the Seasonal Powerleveling group and I guarantee you'll find someone within 15 minutes who will powerlevel your dude to 70, at which point you can play any number of the extremely fun and powerful builds this season.

There was FATE, which is Diablo 1 but you have a dog.

I'm always disappointed when IP holders do this sort of low effort videogame crossover rather than going the Kingdom Hearts route of having a big grandiose universe-hopping story where you have Shrek and Po and whoever talking about the manifested darkness of the human soul or whatever.

Exactly, it doesn't have to necessarily be like Kingdom Hearts, but these companies have unlimited money, and this is what they decide to do with it for video games. I wish they would have someone on the inside making decisions, who actually understand the gaming market, and is okay with taking risks.

Nickelodeon had like a whole series of games like this back in the THQ games, they were multiplayer brawlers that had characters from different Nicktoons

I might be the only one in the world who thinks this game actually looks boring. Boss fights might be interesting but man these environments look boring, and bland, the VO is just like "Strike one, another down", with no personality, and the normal fights just look like dashing and auto-lock-on attacks.

A quick google search didnt turn up any sales numbers, UBISoft called it "a healthy commercial success" though. Guess that still means not enough to take the risk on a sequel. They are restructuring quite a bit currently and sticking to games that they are very confident can sell well.

Its a weird game that is very generic in some ways but extremely chill and fun in others. Like a more stylistic assassins creed odyssey. It is some peoples goty.
