Diablo II
Like its predecessor, Diablo II is an action role-playing game with dark fantasy and horror themes. The player controls a new hero attempting to stop the destruction unleashed by Diablo's return. The game's 4 acts feature a variety of locations and settings to explore and battle in, as well as an increased cast of characters to play as and interact with. Diablo II had become one of the most popular online games of all time. Major factors that contributed to Diablo II's success include what fans found to be…

Loved
- Addictive random loot
- Five very different classes
- Huge replay value across three difficulties
Not so much
- Tiny inventory means constant trips to town
- Some grinding for runes and gear is extreme
Play it if anyone who loves chasing the next great item.
Skip it if players who want deep story choices or dislike repetition.
Every Diablo II cheat we know
Single-player only. Cheats can turn off achievements and some saves; use them on a spare save.
Play it better
- Clear the Den of Evil in Act 1. Its reward is a free skill reset you can save for later.
- Use the Horadric Cube: three chipped gems of the same type make one flawed gem, and so on up the chain.
- Each difficulty cuts your resistances (by 40 on Nightmare and 100 on Hell in Lord of Destruction), so stack resist gear before moving up.
- Do Anya's quest in Act 5 for a permanent +10 to all resistances on each difficulty.
- Don't spend Charsi's Act 1 imbue reward early. Save it for a good rare-quality base item.
