Diablo: Immortal released yesterday for the PC and Mobile simultaneously and almost immediately became #1 downloaded game in the Playstore. I have been a fan of Diablo since 2000/2001. Diablo II was the first game I bought and I have spend too many hours playing it. Then Diablo III came out and I bought it shortly after it launched and had to reinstall Windows on my laptop so that I could play it. Due to this Immortal was in my watch for queue (on twitter) and I downloaded it immediately after I saw the launch message.
Diablo: Immortal is set between Diablo II & III and from what I could tell in the little time that I played it the gameplay is almost similar to the original games. There are some new classes and changes to the spells & capabilities etc. Before getting the game I did wonder how the game would work on the phone with a fully touch interface but once I started playing it I found the controls to be pretty intuitive.
The game requires a lot of data in order to work so you need to ensure your device has plenty of free storage space available before you start playing. It has downloaded almost 2GB of data so far and a lot files more are queued in the system so that number is going to only go up.
Interestingly you can install it on your PC and phone both and seamlessly switch between the two. As long as you have connected your account to your Battle.net ID. I have been having some issues with that since the system keeps complaining that the two are in different regions but didn’t have the energy to troubleshoot. Since I can still play the game on the phone there is not much rush to fix this small issue.
Initial experience with the game is quite positive, hopefully it will stay that way. 🙂
