Aside from a brief description, you're left to make your choice largely based on the look of each class. Your first decision upon starting is choosing a class, and unfortunately, the game does about as little as possible to explain what it's like to play as any of them. Socketed items and Runewords are powerful.Buy a Tome of Town Portal and Tome of Identify early.Make a plan with your class and stick to it.Here, we're taking a look at some essential tips that will help ease you into the world of Diablo 2 based on our experience with the original game and time spent with Resurrected so far-it should be useful whether you're a first-time player or someone who just hasn't picked up the game in years and forgot all about the joys of Scrolls of Identify, Baal runs, and those damn cows. As such, you can expect it to generally be less friendly to players than Diablo 3-if that's your only exposure to the series thus far, prepare for Resurrected to tell you a whole lot less, kick your teeth in, and then make you walk-not run-away because you've run out of stamina.įortunately, this being largely faithful means there are plenty of existing resources to help guide you through the many complex elements of Diablo 2, be it the complexities of the Horadric Cube, Runewords, or character builds. And while it has gotten a visual overhaul and some other quality-of-life improvements, it's a largely faithful remake of a two-decade-old game.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is now available on PC and consoles, and it brings the classic action-RPG to modern platforms-the consoles being the most notable of the bunch, given the original was only ever available on PC.
