![]() ![]() ![]() The skill system, though, is new - new from Diablo 3, anyway. Someone has filmed all three characters playing through the Diablo 4 BlizzCon demo. The sorceress - another returning Diablo 2 class - turns into a ball of lightning. You have four other abilities to play with, in addition to your bread-and-butter attacks, and these include an eye-catching ultimate which, in the case of the druid, unleashed a storm of tornadoes and lightning all around me. I leaned on it constantly as the barbarian, dashing through big bosses just as their big hits were about to land. In Diablo 4, evade has you dash, or leap, a short distance, and it's incredibly useful. In and out of shapes he shifts and it feels terrific.Įvade plays a key role now too, having evolved from Diablo 3's console dodge roll. Similarly, the druid, a returning Diablo 2 class, can seamlessly change from attacking in werewolf form to pulverising the ground in bear form. ![]() ![]() The barbarian now has four weapon slots (and reaps the benefits of every weapon equipped, statistically) and could, in the demo, switch between a dual-wield attack with two weapons, and a two-handed shockwave attack, at the click of each mouse button with no interruption. I was also impressed by the attention lavished on your bread-and-butter left-and-right-click attacks. Freezing, smashing, charging - it's a game which makes you constantly feel powerful, and where pushing enemies around is more important than ever. Abilities have a chunky, physical presence in the world, like the druid's boulder, which bowls into enemies and keeps knocking them back as it rolls. I played as the barbarian and the druid but not the sorceress - the three classes (of five) announced so far - and the thing to know upfront is Diablo 4 is gorgeous, muscular fun. Finally, Diablo 4 is flesh and blood, and I've played the demo at BlizzCon 2019 - twice - watched the 'Unveiled' panel and talked to the team making it. ![]()
