After Blizzard launched the "Diablo" series, many similar games appeared on the market, thus giving birth to the Diablo-like game category.
However, the Blizzard of today is no longer the Blizzard of the past. The quality of "Diablo 4", which was released last year after years of waiting, is hard to describe. Especially when Microsoft recently announced that Diablo 4 will join XGP, many Diablo fans who spent more than 500 yuan to pre-order the game have Fans feel uncomfortable.
As the saying goes: "When a whale falls, everything rises." Although "Diablo 4" has basically confirmed its failure, thanks to the afterglow of the series, Diablo 4 is still It has created a certain attraction for new players, and by the way, they have become interested in Diablo-like games. At the same time, this also lowers the threshold for popular science for many emerging dark-like games.
And just when the popularity of the new season of "Diablo 4" has basically bottomed out (there is still room for decline), similar products have also launched an offensive to encircle and suppress it. In this week alone, there are three Diablo-like games with good quality and reputation competing on the same stage.
The first is the new game that has been highly discussed in the Diablo community recently - "Last Age". After more than two years of polishing, the official version 1.0 was finally launched on February 21st.
Although "Last Age" is not as good as the rich and powerful Diablo 4 in terms of screen performance. But this game is enjoyable in every aspect. The backpack will not be stuck (it has automatic backpack sorting and equipment filters), skills will not be stuck, and the game process is very smooth. You can play it for at least 100 hours. It is a game that clearly feels like it was made by someone who knows how to play Diablo-like games.
The game is priced at 128 yuan in Steam in China and will not be discounted in the short term. You can choose to buy according to your own conditions.
Next is the old rival of the "Diablo" series, "Torchlight: Infinite". It will start the pre-season "Undefeated Champion" at 10 a.m. today (February 23). After learning from the experience of "Hunter's Parade", the official has also optimized many experience details.
"Undefeated Champion" also introduces a new special mechanism: inspired by the God of War, the rare monsters in the level have a chance to be upgraded into various gladiators. Defeating a gladiator will net you considerable loot and special buffs.
For example, if you have a huge body size, you can get a special benefit by defeating a gladiator: your body size will increase. In addition, you can also gain a size increase based on your maximum health and maximum shield value. For every 1% increase in size, you can get an additional 1% increase in skill range, an additional 1% increase in damage, and an additional 1% increase in summon damage.
Although the cartoon style of "Torchlight Infinite" varies from person to person, it supports both PC and mobile terminals. For most players, it is a very easy and fast game. game.
Also on February 23, the S25 preseason of "Path of Exile" will be officially launched. At that time, the gameplay of the S24 season will be merged into the permanent zone.
It can be said that the competitiveness of "Path of Exile" in the past pre-season games has been very weak, but this time something unexpected happened. The unique ranking season content will be abnormal. The combination of the aircraft season content and the fact that the currency will enter the permanent zone after the end of the preseason has resulted in this preseason being the easiest zone server to show off in history.
So in the face of the layers of blockage from the new game "Last Age" and the two classic games "Path of Exile" and "Torchlight: Infinite", the new version of "Diablo 4", which was already underperforming, Season, how many people are left now?
