    This is not a game. It's a gambling application that disguises itself as a game using unethical monetization strategies. It's a cheap asset flip of Diablo 3 for the mobile platform, and uses sophisticated psychological tactics to exploit it's fan base.

    The application uses a pay-to-win model, and it's easy to get sucked in and spend $100's on upgrading gear. However, if you think that's expensive - imagine how dangerous it can be when it can take over $100,000 to max your gear.

    PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME - It's dangerous, and can ruin your life!

    If you still have thoughts about trying it, at least read this first:

    The only reason I am giving this a 1 instead of a 0 is because I can honestly see a great diablo game underneath all of the egregiously predatory monetization that the game will not let me forget about.

    WARNING:
    Do not waste your time with this game. Other ones exist that actually respect your time and money.

    Diablo Immortal uses many, if not all and more, of the most blatant and egregious monetization practices to extract money from the you. It is an embarrassment that this game left development with the way it is currently monetized.

    Avoid at all costs.

    Imagine taking a beloved franchise and applying the most predatory microtransactions seen in any mobile game; welcome to Diablo Immortal.

    Every single aspect of the game is monetised. Cosmetics should be a given, nobody complains about cosmetic items being monetised, and rightly so, they have no impact on gameplay and are entirely down to player choice. The rest of Diablo Immortal is so
    Imagine taking a beloved franchise and applying the most predatory microtransactions seen in any mobile game; welcome to Diablo Immortal.

    Every single aspect of the game is monetised. Cosmetics should be a given, nobody complains about cosmetic items being monetised, and rightly so, they have no impact on gameplay and are entirely down to player choice. The rest of Diablo Immortal is so heavily monetised it makes cheap Chinese money sinks blush.

    The core gameplay centres around gems. Specifically "legendary" gems. While Diablo has four tiers of equipment, the bulk of their power comes from gems. With legendary gems providing the most power and utility. Legendary gems can not only be upgraded to increase their base stats, but they can also be socketed to allow for further upgrades, deepening not only the need to grind but also the temptation to use your credit cards as a shortcut.

    To obtain these legendary gems (or the materials required to create them from scratch) requires money. A legendary gem can be obtained via "free" options, but the chances of obtaining a five star gem without spending any money are so rare they may as well be non-existent.

    As gems are the backbone of endgame/competitive gameplay the means of acquiring them are heavily monetised. As disgusting as this practice is, its made even more abhorrent by the way it is pushed. Every single accomplishment in this game is punctuated by an alert to the store to purchase some pack with an arbitrary value attached to it, ie this pack has "400%" extra.

    The core game is solid enough from a gameplay perspective. It is a Diablo game at heart. Though its essential a remix of Diablo 3 with many assets cribbed from it. The extra layer of complexity added to it via the gems mechanic would be welcome, if it didn't have such a heavy price tag associated with it.

    Bugs are heavily prevalent with it. With items being lost, primary attacks not registering due to latency issues, HDR/gamma settings on PC making the game hideous to look at, the map overlay bleeding out of the map window onto the entire screen making things hard to read, controllers not being registered at certain points of the game etc. This kind of thing could be forgiven during a beta, but added into a very unsavoury mess of microtransactions that take advantage of addictive personality behaviour, the whole package leaves a very sour taste in the mouth.

    Games like Diablo Immortal should be banned outright. At this point it isn't a point of a game being paid to win, its a question of a game outright preying on people's weaknesses. Just because there are no blatant lootboxes in the game doesn't mean that gambling mechanics aren't present. This philosophy of game design isn't just cynical, its a blatant disregard for it's players', sorry, customers' well being.

    The only thing this game did was make me reinstall Diablo 3 for nostalgia's sake.

    First and foremost get the f out with all these predatory microtransactions.
    Game is clearly targeted towards Asian audience where such monetization is culturally acceptable. DI presence in the west is simply a byproduct.
    Game itself is too easy, there is no need to dodge anything to kill even boss enemies. Ofc all that is correct until the point where everything is too hard without spending.

The whole loot and equip progression is built to generate purchases and if you just want to play the game you are nearly locked into not progressing at all. Such mechanics should be forbidden by law like in Belgium and the Netherlands!

    It feels like this app was made just for milking cash and nothing more.
    Also, it doesn't work on most phones from the Samsung line that has Exynos CPU - my 2nd phone.

    I wonder how much cash they've invested into research on how to exploit/manipulate people to buy their stuff.

Good luck on getting anything legendary as F2P. As even when paying for rifts, the only legendaries I have really seen are gems.. Any equipment is usually just the yellow "rare" or whatever that rarity is called. Overall the game just feels extremely unsatisfying, unfinished, and rushed for monetization purposes only. If the devs would have focused more on making it a buy to play game, it would have probably been pretty good. Expand

    TIME being the main factor. The thing is, an ARPG is about killing monsters / grinding for rare drops NOT about daily/weekly/monthly timers to unlock power for our characters. In Diablo Immortal, if you grind 24 hours per day, it doesn’t matter, most of your power is literal time based (daily/weekly/monthly) OR you can pay tons of money to unlock it.

    *The only reason Diablo:Immortal has a decent critic review is because admins at Metacritic have not approved reviews from Ars Technica, IGN, and others which would bring down its score.

    However, if you do not spend money, you will need to be quite pacient, as the game is extremely "grindy", which this can be bypassed by spending money on the game.

    Feels like the devs spent less time thinking on what would make everyone happy by playing the game, and more time finding means to "pressure" players to spend money in order to enjoy the game.

    I will preface by saying this is an unethical entity because it is not a real game.

    If you are the type of 'gamer' who believes the cash shop where you purchase virtual items with real money is the hub of content, then you are the demographic.

    I will preface by saying this is an unethical entity because it is not a real game.

    If you are the type of 'gamer' who believes the cash shop where you purchase virtual items with real money is the hub of content, then you are the demographic. Oh, and if you enjoy the relentless intrusive ads, regardless of how much you have already spent, to buy more stuff in the shop then again, you are the demographic here. You can buy power indirectly by purchasing gems.

    To touch on my latter statement from the above. If you play the game through and through, you WILL be time gated for a month. You need gems to upgrade gear. However, by playing without the assistance of using real life money you can only obtain like... 3 gems per MONTH. But.... if you buy it all off the of the cash store well you can keep going. Blizzard implemented a "feel bad" system where if you buy a gem and it doesn't proc to an legendary gem you have to pay a little over $100 for the system to auto-proc that for you. Keep in mind that ONE proc could take $100. Now do that at least 12 times. Note! I haven't even gotten into the deeper microtransactional problems either. Haven't explored that and I never will. Miss me with all of this digesting and reprehensible system. I'm good.

    Disclaimer. Personally, I do not care about paying with real money for in-game cosmetics. You know, things that do not make your character more powerful in any way possible. I can literally care less. Even if those looks are better than anything farmable, again zero F's given.

    Final note, Diablo Immortal reviews are currently deactivated on google. You search for "diablo immortal review" and you are redirected to critic reviews. Which the world over knows they are literal shrills who have sold their souls for a $40k/salary to these degenerate gaming companies while simultaneously pretend to be the public gamers best friend. Lies on top of lies and again, reprehensible and disgusting to say the least.

    Still can't believe how far these companies are willing to go. The game is so insanely predatory it's getting ridiculous. I really hope that one day politicians will finally catch on what's going on in the gaming industry and ban all kinds of microtransactions outright. Let it all burn for all I care - gaming should return to the humble roots it started anyway.

    Overly egregious p2w tactics. Worst I've ever seen. To imagine how far, how incredibly far the Diablo franchise has fallen to become this. If you don't have a spare 100 grand sitting around burning a hole in your pocket. Don't even touch this game. Activision Blizzard is dead. Just dead. Writing them off completely from now on.

    I was super excited about this title. I went in with intent to play as f2p, with spending some money on cosmetics to support my favorite franchise and developers. Unfortunately after a few days I am 1000 EUR in-debt on my credit card. Do not play it if you like the power, you will regret it when your bank will contact you with fraud warning.
    Now I understand why Belgium and Netherlands

    Diablo Immortal is a great ARPG game but it is has one major problem. Gear, and character overall progression is P2W. This is a big problem is mobile gaming alone but Blizzard took this situation and made it worse! I was really looking forward to this game but I will no longer support this game or any company that monetize player progression with in app purchases.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The production value of this game is phenomenal, it feels like a worthy successor to the diablo franchise. This is where the good things end.
    This game uses a ton of recycled diablo 3 content. It is insanely aggressively pay to win, packed with mtx and is a massive scam. Do not play this, do not buy anything. Any progress you make will be gatekept through insanely aggressive pay walls. Which begins as soon as the tutorial is over, barely a minute into game play

    I'm bothered by the bland story of the world's destruction, which was vehemently influenced by the online nature and spirit of the game or the inability to change the camera. The game looks and runs very well, and you can also adjust the graphics settings on more powerful devices. I'd leave the disdain for the online elements of Diablo Immortal to the eternally doubting and overlooking, because just as you can recognize a good poem, you can recognize a fundamentally good game.

    To see it submit to mobile gaming's worst tendencies, rather than make any effort to be different, to be better, is galling. It may be flashy and efficient as both a Diablo game and a mobile game, but Immortal offers little that is bold, ambitious or innovative. Instead, its structure and pacing is designed with one goal in mind: to squeeze as much cash out of every player as it can. [Issue#374, p.110]

    It is undeniable that Diablo Immortal's monetization system has problems and makes the more advanced stages of the adventure unpleasant, but the fact remains that the Blizzard title has brought one of the best experiences in the action RPG field to the mobile market, and it really is difficult to find on the App Store and Google Play Store another free to play with such high production values. Diablo Immortal is an excellent pastime for those who want to complete the long cooperative campaign and, above all, could represent the perfect entry point for those who have never approached the series: even without putting their wallet in, in fact, it remains a pleasant adventure to live while waiting for the fourth chapter to make its debut on the shelves.
