Being able to jump in and do so at a moment’s notice via a device in your pocket has been well-received. This extends to some elements of that endgame, such as doing rifts, procedurally generated dungeons for whacking enemies and getting loot. It’s fast paced, action-packed, even fun.

“The best gameplay I’ve had on mobile,” was tossed around in a few user reviews. Minimal requests for extra money, no time-gating, easy to progress, and enjoyable to play. It should be noted that the early game of Diablo Immortal (the first 30 hours or so) are reported to be perfectly pleasant. What it traditionally has not been about is buying your way to power and glory through microtransactions, and some fans are concerned that’s exactly what this edition does best.

It’s the latest entry in the equally famous series which depicts heroes of the world of Sanctuary fighting back the eternal hordes of demons and monsters that threaten it. Diablo Immortal, a new release from legendary games company Blizzard in collaboration with Chinese mobile giant Netease, launched last week.
