A great classic game that provides amazing challenges for you and your friends together. Each level is its own area you need to clear that has additional challenges you can meet for more "Crystals" that are used to unlock more skills. This game is an amazing Co-op game with buddies and the depths of the challenges adds to much additional play time to try and get everything.1 found this helpful

This is one of those games if you and your mates on a weekend go we want something co-op, a challenge and frustrating rage of teamwork! This is the game for you,. Don't let the dated graphics fool you, this game has some serious difficulty curves that catch you later in the game. So much die, die, die and try again haha! Get this game!
I am having a blast with my son. very cool old school game
Picked this up hoping for a fun co-op experience with a friend, and it absolutely delivered — we spent dozens of hours getting genuinely furious at each other over the orb mechanics before finally cracking each arena's puzzle and erupting in celebration. The four weapon classes all feel distinct and meaningful, and the challenge system gives you real reason to replay levels rather than just steamroll through. That said, go in with eyes open: this is a co-op game first and a single-player game almost never, and the camera zooming out when you split up can get genuinely maddening during tense moments. The difficulty curve after the first world is steep enough to weed out anyone not fully committed, but if you've got a reliable partner or squad, that challenge becomes the whole appeal. Grab the four-pack on sale and a group of patient friends — just make sure everyone has a mic and a thick skin.
Mom, buy Diablo! We have Diablo at home! Diablo at home:... Jokes aside, I got to know it before I got to know this famous series of games. And after that, Diablo wasn't played the way I was told (
