There’s quite the buzz stirring in the Diablo community these days, and it’s all about Diablo Immortal, the franchise’s latest spin-off. Let’s delve into the chatter.
Summary
- While some fans enjoy the game’s design and quality, others feel it’s too easy compared to previous entries.
- Seemingly, the consensus around microtransactions is that the game is far from a “pay to win” model.
- Fans also seem divided over the game’s smartphone platform, with some favoring traditional forms of gameplay.
The ‘Ease of Play’ Controversy
One Diablo enthusiast, iamadsgnr shares that they found Diablo Immortal to be much easier compared to the previous titles. Despite having high-quality voice lines, engaging environments, and solid ARPG mechanics, they missed the more challenging gameplay of the older entries.
Microtransactions Not a Major Deterrent?
An interesting perspective was provided by Vir1990 who indicated that the game is far from pay-to-win, particularly if players don’t emphasize on PvP. Arguably, this suggests that microtransactions aren’t necessarily a major deterrent for players and possibly why Diablo Immortal is popular.
Contrast with Previous Titles
Knotist offered a different stance, stating they enjoyed Diablo Immortal more than Diablo 4, mainly because they haven’t spent a dime on it. This viewpoint indicates that Diablo Immortal might have an edge over previous Diablo games due to its freemium model.
