WHAT IS DIABLO III?
Diablo III is an action role-playing game (RPG) developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. The third installment, Diablo III boasts a colorful history since its release in 2012. Set in the magical world of Sanctuary, a realm steeped in mystical lore and home to the forces of Heaven and Hell, the game allows you to champion against the re-emergence of the devilish character Diablo, the Lord of Terror.
Players traverse through richly detailed and varied landscapes, fight a multitude of monsters, collect valuable items, increase their skills, and interact with non-player characters (NPCs). Diablo III provides a perfectly layered gaming experience, full of lore, combat, strategy, and community. With its hack and slash style reminiscent of games like Torchlight and Path of Exile, Diablo III offers an epic adventure right at your fingertips.
HOW IT WORKS / HOW TO GET STARTED
To start your journey in Diablo III, you’ll need a valid Battle.net account. After purchasing and installing the game, you’ll be directed to create a character. You can customize your character’s gender, class, and appearance. Each class, such as Barbarian, Wizard, or Monk, has unique traits and abilities.
Once your character is ready, you’ll start in the game world, where you’ll be guided through a series of quests and objectives. The play style involves exploring dungeons, slaying monsters, looting items, and leveling up your character’s abilities.
Combat in Diablo III is straightforward, with left-click to move or attack and right-click for a secondary attack or skill. There is also a hot-bar for easy access to spells, potions, and other handy items or skills. As you progress, the game gets progressively harder, encouraging strategic planning and adjusted techniques.
