Diablo III is a hack-n-slash role-playing game with a focus on collecting fantastical weapons, armor, and skills. Five playable classed - Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Sorcerer, Monk and Demon Hunter - each are available to stand against the forces of darkness. The goal is to trudge through a demon-infested world and defeat the minions of Diablo, the Lord of Terror, while gaining loot and experience points. This hack-n-slash RPG pits players against hordes of enemies such as zombies, demons, and the legions of Hell. You collect items, armor, and weapons to create more powerful characters, and join up with friends online to tackle extra-powerful demon hordes.
GameGeex Review of Diablo III
After so many years, we are once again sucked deep into the heart of Lord of Terror's treachery. But is our latest trip back to Hell worth risking a fresh bout of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?
tl;dr - Too long; Didn't read
Diablo III marks the return of Blizzard's venerable franchise to the Point-and-Click RPG throne. With dramatic zeal, it casts aside both Sacreds and the original Torchlight, claiming the bloody crown that once rested upon Diablo II's brow as its own. All hail, the king has returned.
