Healing is even more generous than in Diablo 3, with numerous health orbs dropped by bosses and enemies, as well as health potions that operate on a cooldown timer. The overall difficulty in the starting areas is more forgiving than other games, giving players some room to fail and experiment with their characters, while serious challenges can still be found later in the form of dungeons and boss fights. The fact is, Diablo Immortal is a true Diablo experience, but it's also not offputting if you're unfamiliar with these kinds of games.
For the most part, it seems like the developers have succeeded.
Blizzard previously mentioned in pre-release interviews that if someone hasn't played a Diablo game before, Diablo Immortal is the best starting point. I'm a longtime fan of Diablo games, so the formula is extremely familiar to me at this point, but I also appreciate how Diablo Immortal makes things approachable for every kind of player. While Diablo Immortal does support mobile controllers, I opted to mainly use the touch controls, a testament to just how well-optimized the experience is (at least playing on a larger mobile device like a great iPad). The touch controls are laid out so they're easy to use and remain incredibly efficient, even as the carnage on screen gets more and more hectic. Even hours in, I was discovering new ability combos, which is especially great for the Wizard class and its spells that can play off each other. For purposes of this review, I decided to play as a Wizard, one of the six classes available in Diablo Immortal at launch, and chaining together spells to mow down hordes of monsters was easy and fun.
As an action RPG, it's important for the combat to feel good, and Diablo Immortal delivers here in spades. it's clear that being built for phones and tablets hasn't compromised Diablo Immortal's bottom line. Most of all, it's still very much a Diablo game.
