You can respec your character whenever you like, too, meaning you can always experiment to make a class play wholly differently – even when multiple hours in. Carrying on over from Diablo 3’s Reaper of Souls expansion, blasting bodies into a cacophony of blood instantly sends the screen into chaotic action it’s cathartic in that ‘switch your brain off and enjoy’ sort of way.Īll five classes have skills that can be amped up in this way. My Blood Spear and Bone Splinters ended up equally effective by the time I’d levelled up enough, but I knew the action would reach an all-time high as soon as I unlocked Corpse Explosion. I played as the Necromancer for the majority of my review playthrough, and although at first my basic Reap attack started off pretty weak, in less than an hour my sweeping scythe was transformed into a formidable AOE attack due to my decision to buff its range and natural attributes. You see, unlike before where abilities are unlocked in an order you may or may not like as you rank up, Diablo 4 opts for a skill tree system that gives you greater control (and therefore mastery) of your build. Each have their own specific traits and skill sets designed to suit almost every player’s specific playstyle, but are far more flexible than ever here thanks to how they’re handed out. There are five to choose from in total: Barbarian, Necromancer, Sorceress, Druid and Rogue. Perhaps the biggest shift, aside from the transition from segmented locations to an uninterrupted overworld, relate to the classes of Diablo 4 themselves. Such elements work just as harmoniously as they ever did, only now there’s a few extra twists to the gameplay in store. World tiers, in which you can set the level of difficulty depending on your desired challenge are back, as are dungeons and the need to plunder them.
You still play as one of a handful of customisable classes, endlessly hacking and slashing away at enemies from a top-down, isometric view while acquiring new skills and abilities that sees the power balance regularly tip in your favour.
First things first, for all that’s new here, it’s important to state that the fundamental basics of the Diablo formula blissfully remain the same.
