The Curse of Tristram is a fan remake of Diablo II‘s Act 1 using the Starcraft 2 engine, which you can find in its Arcade. The dev team still holds weekly events to keep things fresh.Īs for the reasoning behind releasing the remake when there’s still so much more of the game to do, Egod123 explains that it’s simply time to move on.įeaturing new items to farm, fresh economies to master, the fan remake can be played with up to four friends on Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties. Not only is the official remake expected, but the Starcraft 2 engine has become difficult to work with, given the amount of code required to bring Diablo II over to the engine. “It was an incredible adventure, and we’ve decided to move on and officially become indie devs by learning Unreal Engine 4 and 5 with all the experience acquired from this awesome project.” The team does plan to keep the project updated with bug fixes, but that’ll likely be it. It's frustrating to play right now, so it may be best to give it times to grow and get some refinement and fixes.Meanwhile, Diablo fans also have Diablo IV to look forward to, which is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Even if it doesn't play out well, trying to create a different kind of game within a game is always challenging. Regardless, you can tell the amount of effort the author made to try and make this work as best as he can. Author isn't a native English speaker either, and it shows. So after you finish each map, you're forced to exit the map, and continue your character on the next map, which takes ages to load. Another nitpick is the fact that map to map transition does not use the trigger that allows another map to be loaded, although I don't know if that is available in SC2 like it was in Brood War or Warcraft 3. THe difficulty spike becomes tremendous each map, and healing items and extremely sparse.
Graphics are 'awful' because it uses assets that are provided be blizzard (warcraft 3, wow, and d3 models) or assets the author made himself (raw stripping of the d2 terrain). It's horrendously limited in it's functionality and fluidity as a result. It's Diablo made in the Starcraft engine.
