Reviewed by Cam Shea on iOS with iPad Gen 9 (2021). Also available on Android and PC. “There’s a lot to like about Diablo Immortal, but it’s still not a game I can wholeheartedly recommend. As a casual, purely free-to-play experience, it offers dozens of hours of powerful ARPG combat built around an interesting skill system, while for those that wanting to be competitive quickly becomes restrictive, punitive and money-consuming. And for everyone in between? It just isn’t good value for money. If the season-long services like the Empowered Battle Pass offered more, I’d definitely see myself renewing every time and steadily work my way through the many difficulty levels as I climb Immortal’s 600 paragon levels, gradually – oh so gradually – arranging my legendary gems. Instead, that dream is so far out of reach that it’s actually not possible. I’ll continue to Diablo Immortal play, but without monetization revisions and the many restrictions, it becomes a dip in, dip out game, in t unlike a world I want to live in. †
