Overview
The game that started it all. Diablo 1, released in 1996 by Blizzard North, sends you into the labyrinthine depths beneath the town of Tristram to hunt the Lord of Terror. Choose from three classes — Warrior, Rogue, or Sorcerer — each with unique skills and playstyles. Fight through 16 dungeon levels across four acts: the Cathedral, Catacombs, Caves, and Hell. Face Diablo himself in a legendary battle that defined the action RPG genre. The Hellfire expansion added the Monk class and two new dungeons. Play Diablo 1 today via browser, GOG, or DevilutionX.
