If you’re a complete beginner or just returning after a long hiatus, consider this your friendly guide. Here’s your step-by-step, beginner-friendly guide to kick-start your adventure in Diablo III.
WHAT IS DIABLO III?
Diablo III is the third installment in the groundbreaking Diablo series by Blizzard Entertainment. It’s a hack and slash action role-playing game (RPG) that was released in May 2012. The game revolves around players traversing through Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo series, in an attempt to defeat the Lord of Terror, Diablo himself.
In comparison with similar games, what sets Diablo III apart is its distinct, grim ambiance, a compelling loot-driven progression system, the thrilling gameplay, and its seemingly simple yet captivating story. You can choose to play solo or party with friends for co-op fun.
HOW IT WORKS
To start playing Diablo III, you’ll need to create a character and choose a class beforehand. There are seven classes to choose from: Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, Witch Doctor, and Wizard. Each class has its unique abilities and playstyle.
Once your character is created, you plunge into the world of Sanctuary. As you explore the huge world, you’ll encounter friend and foe, powerful equipment and weapons, and missions to complete. You accumulate experience points as you defeat enemies and level up your character. The game operates in a real-time mode, that is you engage in combat directly, without entering a separate battle screen.
CE QU'IL FAUT POUR JOUER
To explore the world of Diablo III, all you really need is a supported gaming platform and a stable internet connection. Diablo III is available on Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
