It’s clearly optimized for a mouse as opposed to an analog stick, and moving items around on the Switch controller is less efficient in comparison and rather tedious. Anyway, the other noted change from the original PC version is the inventory management. It seems odd that a player would have to change the default settings about 5-10 minutes into the game, but here we are. Though, in the default settings, the attack button is the same as the item pick-up button, and it becomes instantly frustrating as attacking quickly fills up the inventory. This feature seems slick and quite useful compared to the PC settings that have players scrolling the mouse wheel or hitting the number key to change skills. On the Switch, players have the ability to bind a series of hotkeys to actions such as activating the Paladin’s Might ability or the Sorceress’s Fireball. The adventurers are tasked with taking on the Prime Evils and destroying their soulstones so that the demons cannot return to the mortal realm. The story progresses through a series of five acts, each full of corruption and evil. Meanwhile, a drifter named Marius is shown in a prison cell and tells his story to a hooded stranger about his previous experiences in which he followed the Dark Wanderer.


Diablo II picks up with a group of adventurers entering the Rogue Encampment to investigate the evil that started with this corrupted Dark Wanderer. The demon Diablo was defeated, but the hero who slayed him becomes corrupted by the Lord of Terror’s essence, which allows demons to enter the world again.

The story continues from the original Diablo. Pick your champion and battle your way to the gates of hell and beyond to take on Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal. Alongside new graphics, there are several improvements to the gameplay while also sticking close to the original. It is a remastered version of the original Diablo II, which is revered as one of the great games in the genre 20 years ago. Diablo II: Resurrected is a hack-and-slash RPG developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment.
