    Never played it but screenshot makes me think of Diablo II. I miss that game. I think it was the first game that made me feel like my trackball was the superior choice (to a mouse).

    Game requires spyware (Windows) to play on a computer, but somewhat ironically, I have an Xbox, so I could play it there. (Also have a PS3 and a Switch.) Gameplay trailer on their website makes it look more like an action game than an RPG though. Either way it looks like a bit of fun.

      Nowadays there’s Diablo 2 Resurrected which runs fine under Linux using Proton.

      Also, there is a long running community mod (since 2016) for Grim Dawn called Reign of Terror which tries to replicate the D2 feeling in Grim Dawn - just be aware that although it already has been updated to work with the new expansion, there might currently be some unexpected issues around.

      Which game requires Windows to run? I run diablo 2 ( resurrected) on Linux.

      I’ve run it through battle.net ( over steam ) and you can buy I directly through steam as well. You’d need to link your steam account to your battlenet, but it works fine.

      Unless you mean grim dawn. I haven’t tried that one on Linux, but protondb claims it’s platinum.

      I was looking for d2 experience but alas this game presented zero challenge for higher difficulty modes. Only 2 opponents are giving trouble - those gods (optional boss fights), and mostly cause they heal themselves faster than I damage.

      Kind of sad given how d2 challenges you from nightmare right away.
