Leave a Review Diablo Immortal
Limited customizations and encourages addictive gambling like behavior
Despite what the advertisement says, I was very disappointed to find how limited “not limitless” the customization options are. As a person of color you are only limited to race depending on which class you choose. It would have really been nice to be able to feel represented no matter which class I choose. Just to give one example, as a blood knight you can only be a white or black male, you have no option to be an Asian male unless you’re a barbarian for example. This matter to me as I would like it to be “my adventure”.
Another disappointment is that they don’t have any reoccurring special events that give you the chance to obtain some of the previous armor sets like the blood rebirth armor for example. I love new content but I also think it would be nice for players to play previous special events vs rehashing the same old normal events. Then game is also very pay to play oriented and encouraging gambling like behavior. I don’t mind paying as a moderate spender but it can be discouraging spending a lot of money with such a low percentage to obtain higher quality gems.
The game also does very little to describe how new functions work like the pet systems which forces player to experiment which is expensive and lead to a lot of discouragement as well. On a positive note is that the community can be fun and I do like when it seems like the devs do invest in this game.Show lessjrufhgbgng
Disappointing for Blizzard
I have been playing Diablo since the original, and was extremely excited when this game first dropped. On the positive side, the campaign is well made, the classes are fun and the skills and combat are enjoyable, everything else about the game is utterly terrible. I played for the first few months and the quit when I decided I wasn’t going to spend any money on it. Right before the Diablo 4 beta dropped I started playing again to see if anything had improved in the game, and while I was kind of surprised with the fact that getting legendary crests without paying for them seemed a tiny bit easier, what I got in return was an extremely toxic player base. I was surprised because at the beginning of this game the player base was very kind and helpful, now you just have a bunch of really annoying, really trolly people who think that because they are paragon 600 that they are superior human beings to you. It is really a shame that Blizzard made this game the way that they did, but at least the people were enjoyable at first, now the whole experience isn’t worth playing at all. Update, now that Diablo 4 has been released it has even further relegated this game to the hallowed halls of games that should have never been made. If you are looking for a Diablo experience the way it should be, go play D4 and save yourself from spending thousands of dollars to be the best loser on mobile gaming.Show lessDorksyde85
Constant issues
With every single update there is an issue with battlegrounds, there is invisibility bugs they still haven’t addressed or fixed, each time they “say” they fix it, they don't and something else pops up. Peoples gladiator fatal proc now happens 3 times in a row. Demon hunters can shoot through walls, wizard beams are invisible, if you want to live through all that your going to have to spend a good 15k+ dollars. I think they need to outsource and pick a different company that will operate more efficiently. I would give this a 5/5 but the game keeps dying because they aren’t fixing anything just coming out with new quests that provide the most minuscule things. Even F2P players will have to constantly do daily’s for a good 6 months to get 1 thing good. Its a well made game but very selfish on the rewards for everyone, as long as you keep spending money the less they will fix things. This is how a lot of good games die within a year or so. Hope you can fix these issues with the right people that know their stuff. The new gem crafting will take f2p players multiple months to be able to craft 1 legendary 5 start gem and then it takes like 100 to get it to ranked 10. Just seems like they just want your money, you’d think they’d take care of their players by making 100 million dollars after 2 months of release date. Please fix this game or it will die within a year.Show less98346172453
Compromised player experience
DI is an unreasonable compromise. The ones who endure, do so willfully acknowledging an inability to be competitive in an online game with an emphasis towards PvP. The gem progression system was mental agony and a prison sentence knowing it was a process designed to take several years that the super rich (or stupid) accomplished in days of credit card swiping. While I honestly wasn’t opposed to spending money in video games up to my DI experience, it was obvious spending in DI was a thankless endeavor where $100, $1,000, or even $10,000 left you at the same progression wall, but maybe worse since the gem power needed was exponentially more the more a gem is progressed. I found I enjoyed the game play, but not the game. I quit within 10 days and while I did purchase the battle pass, couldn’t convince myself to complete all the rewards before uninstalling. The best thing DI did for me is make me aware of Diablo 2R and now I get to enjoy a game that isn’t created with the intent to compromise the players experience for monetary gains. Even cosmetics at this point are a slippery slope where the developers intentionally make anything free undesirable, while it’s certainly better to have a game monetized with only cosmetics, it’s still comprising the player experience.Show lessStogzlol
Absolute worst pvp experience
The way the pvp is set up is atrocious. Matchmaking allows entire teams to be one shotted. So you’re then stuck for 5 minutes just getting stepped on. The PvE content is just like every other mobile button smasher, it’s basically impossible to die except for on boss fights, where the boss can kill you in two hits. Otherwise, this is a step above an idle game in its difficulty. Crafting is a giant pain as mats are completely random so you need to run like 50 missions to make one item after you speak to 3 different vendors. The less tedious content is limited to parties. Spent over an hour trying to get a party for a dungeon that lasted only 4m27s. They really need to fix this issue. Chat is full of spam posts for third party websites selling in game currency, about 5 per minute. The game is very unclear about how to do certain things or what some things are. Took a week of light gaming to get to max rank. There wasn’t even enough missions for that. For 3 levels, I had one mission, reach level 60. There are some really cool features like legendary essences and timed leaderboards. Although, when your hardest dungeons are being cleared in 3 minutes, how difficult is the game? Why can I only do one action at a time? Stack on 100 gems to upgrade? Get ready to be annoyed!Show lessMrEmptyClip
Fun for a while, but hit the wall hard…
So, I love Diablo and despite the negative reviews I’d read, I really put my all into this game. Daily player from day-1, ran every daily quest, was putting in 5+ hours of play a day. Kept right at the server level cap +2-4 levels. Bought the first two battle-passes, and ground them out hard. Was running every raid whenever they were up, constantly farming dungeons, etc. Last week I realized that, simply by still being active in the game, I was my warband and dark clan leader. Literally, every person I had started playing with has quit. Then I really started paying attention to my gear drops and combat power and realized it had been over a week since I’d gotten a gear upgrade, and that was for a ~100pt CP increase. Putting in over 40 hours of play per week, and PAYING for the battlepass, I had simply stopped caring about gear drops. The only thing worth playing for was completing battlepass levels for the exp hit, which is really the only way to level up. Most of my gear was over 20 levels below my current because that’s how harsh the rng is…. just stopped having fun and so stopped playing. I’m not sure if the P2W is the problem, or if it’s something more fundamental, but there is something deeply unsatisfying about Immortal that I’ve never run into in a Diablo game before. I think I’ll go load up D2 again and brush off my 20yo characters there….Show lessBodhi985421
Monotonous/micro charge/GAMBLING
Ok. First off great game and play. The graphics are nice. Here is the problem with this game. Put $1K into it and cannot get a BSJ or Bile to drop and if you do it is only 2 stars. Then to level them it is ridiculous since you need money to run and get legendary gems. You need more of these impossible drop gems to rank them.
Gems give resonance and make you stronger but people have put several thousand to be maybe mid tear players. Everything in this game is RNG. Let me clear that, everything in this game is a gamble. 100% gambling. With your money and time. Legendary items seldom drop and if they do you only get 2/1 stats. I ran for 1 week around 6-8 hours not one upgrade. Do not get me started on set items. 3 weeks of spamming a dungeon and everyone but me gets what I need. And if you do get it....it is not an upgrade. This is gambling.
I recommend not even playing this game if you want to be a bit competitive. If you do just know you will have to fork over $1K to MAYBE get something you want. Getting the neck is a gamble. You cant share or give a gear drop to someone in your clan/guild that needs it. You cannot sell gems you don't need. You cannot place things in market at whatever price you want. They cap it. Also, if you want a well priced gem from auction, it is another gamble. Everyone waiting to buy at time, and it is RNG (i guess) who gets to buy it....for real. Blizzard you are crooks.Show lessXcuti0n
Love the game, hate the dumb issues
So I do love the game as it is really fun, however when I first started playing I couldn’t get into Westmarch because I didn’t have the resource packs downloaded that I needed. The packs wouldn’t download no matter what I did, and after extensive research online (lots of googling and YouTubing) I learned that I had to uninstall the game completely, restart my phone, reinstall the game, and start the game as a guest. Then, and only then, would I be allowed to fully download all of the resource packs to play the entire game, which ultimately didn’t take long. Then, I would log into my account to pull up my character, and then I would be able to play. But then today, August 3rd 2022, the game went through some sort of update (I think) and now it’s making me REDOWNLOAD all of the resource packs AGAIN!!! And I’m running into the same problem AGAIN!!! Now I have to uninstall the game completely, restart my phone, and now I’m writing this review while waiting for the game to download and download ALL OF THE RESOURCE PACKS AGAIN!!! Which, ultimately, will take a good amount of unnecessary time, again. This shouldn’t be an issue but for some reason it is, and so many others have had issues like this… again I love the game as it’s super cool and fun, but crap like this shouldn’t be happening.Show lessDatGuySteveM
Shiny objects can be dangerous!
If you are not familiar with any Diablo games you might say this game is awesome!? For the ignorant allow me to enlighten you to the fact, Diablo immortal has merely extracted the core mechanics of the game, primarily the legendary gems and ability to progress and put a FAT PRICE TAG on it! Even worse the average person could easily be bankrupted thinking they have a chance in the next gamble! And as it stands there is no pity system, both of which is unacceptable IMO. The game is targeting everyone from kids to adults, it should be noted the game says 17 and up. I bring up the last part because according to the laws of the United States you have to be ages 18-21 depending on the area to gamble with real money. They circumvent this by selling you or your child tokens to then gamble with… it’s ruining gaming for many, all I see is cash extraction from cash cows/steamers. Peasants are welcome to join as well! But make no mistake there will be no fruit worth your time sacrifice and enjoyment! stagnates very quickly, endless repetitive grinding with little to no reward. It’s a shame because alpha testers gave the game all check marks till the game was released with the heaviest monetization we have seen on the App Store. Should be no mystery as to why all games on the App Store share this model, the overlords expect these models or they don’t exist. Greed+Greed=garbage, gated, high barrier game play. Good Luck!Show lessMrPickle4U
Great Game, but omg Blizzard really.
This game is honestly one of the most fun mobile games I’ve ever played, it feels like it could have been made for PC and I wouldn’t think it was a mobile game the gameplay is so good, but good god are the micro transactions in this game outrageous. It is so blatantly pay to win if you have seen any gaming news about it recently, that it outright gives people who pay money on this “free to play” game a better experience. One guy bought 10 legendary crests for the elder rifts, aka loot boxes, and only when you have 10 legendary crests does it tell you that you can throw in all 10 to get more really rare loot, the guy did it and got 6 MONTHS WORTH OF FREE TO PLAY LOOT. What in the actual **** Blizzard. It was only $22 to do this as well. This is not Diablo, this is not even gaming, it is straight gambling and is not fair for people who don’t have the money to spend to get good loot. Play Diablo 3, you get the same loot you pay for in this game by just guess what, actually playing the game. I’m tired of this being the mobile gaming experience and I hope you know you’re just fueling the fire when you spend money on this game. So just please, pleaaaase don’t spend money on this unfair bull crap if you play this game. Oh yeah the pc port is crap too so I recommend just playing it on your phone if you can.Show lessAGuyNamedConnor
