Review anarchistica 3/5 · Oct 17, 2023
Diableh
Playtime: 35,4 hours (main campaign + endgame campaign + other characters)
Intro
It's Diablo but with characters that look like they're from Warhammer/40K.
The Good
- It's actually single-player, no always online bullshit.
- You can even cheat by editing a simple text file!
- Gameplay is decent.
- Skill gems are easy to get.
- Respeccing is cheap.
- Endgame is fun for a bit. …

Intro
It's Diablo but with characters that look like they're from Warhammer/40K.
The Good
- It's actually single-player, no always online bullshit.
- You can even cheat by editing a simple text file!
- Gameplay is decent.
- Skill gems are easy to get.
- Respeccing is cheap.
- Endgame is fun for a bit.
- Decent variety in enemies.
- Some really nice gore and goofy ragdolling.
The Bad
- The story sucks but that seems to be legally required for ARPGs.
- The game still has multiplayer components like "press X to start the event".
- Endgame (endless repeating boss campaign) had a bug that reset my run.
- Endgame costs are utterly ridiculous. Upgrades cost 15-20 times what i made during normal gameplay (you can cheat to get gold, but still).
- Skills are limited to weapon types, basically defeating the entire claim to class freedom.
- Rage converting to mana is kinda annoying as a rage character.
- It's literally Diablo with Warhammer characters, almost nothing original here.
Conclusion
If you're already done with Diablo 3, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn and Victor Vran you may want to give this a try (if it's on sale). It's nothing special, but better than something like Torchlight.
