About this game
Blizzard's 2000 action role playing game, in which you hold down a mouse button in a dungeon and things fall out. The dungeons and the loot are both generated, so nobody's run is the same twice. There is no best sword, only the one that suits what you built and what you are about to fight. Each of the five classes has thirty skills laid out as a tree, where the good ones grow out of earlier ones. What you spend points on in the first hour decides what the character can do in the last. Finish it and it starts again harder, twice, and those higher difficulties are where the game really starts, on Battle.net with seven other people. There is no finished character here, only the next thing on the floor.
