Probably, but the game will try really hard to make you spend money.

Gotta buy one of those phones I been hearing so much about soon.
That Gwent game was amazing in Witcher 3, but it really went to pure shit when they involved real world money.
The way it looks like they've dumbed down the stats to basically 2 numbers make Immortal look really shitty.
This is a dumb and bad way to "keep the IP fresh" until Diablo 4, this will probably ruin the IP for many people.

Is this free to play?

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
My excitement waned when I realized it was an MMO.
Will still check it out since it’s free but I kinda hate that whole MMO aspect. Wish I could play through Destiny for instance without randoms in my game.

That sounds almost unhealthy.
Don't you have a phone?

Because it is still possible to make money?
Those countries have strong rules only against loot boxes. Every other form of microtransactions, such as cosmetic items, are still possible. Heck, even lootboxes are still possible. At least, in the Netherlands. They just need to be a bit more open about it.

Kind of hilarious how the game has gone from a meme to being this good.

the initial backlash was stupid. i get not everyone likes mobile games but i can't blame blizzard for wanting to put out a mobile game. there is a fuck load of $ to be made. i think at the time people were just wanting info on D4 and a D2 remake and got pissed off when they announced a mobile game. maybe Blizzard could've timed it better but at the same time i think the negative response has pushed them to make it as good as they can. it really shows so far. i know it's still early and we'll need to see how the "end game" is and just how much you need to spend to progress. so far as good. it's fun.

This was inevitable. Immortal will be the biggest and highest grossing Diablo game. Probably get played by more people than all the other 3 combined.

my ipad was downloading shit in the background for the game and it's tanked my entire network. trying to download the latest genshin update and it's so slow. i've deleted it on my ipad for now until the servers calm down. i already have it preloaded on PC so i'll play that tomorrow for a few days and redownload on mobile

Why might I play this when I own Diablo III and Diablo II resurrected..
Came back to backpedal on this, I tried the game, yep, it's Diablo, it controls and feels very nice to play, we'll see, we'll see, but it looks very promising.

After finishing the (spoilers
) Skeleton King quest, this loot system really reminds me of vanilla Diablo 3.

The game tries really hard to grab your cash, that being said, gameplay is addictive and controls very good for a mobile game, art style is on point, even though it reclyces some Diablo 3 assets I think, I think that it is a good approach to the mobile market, it may find its audience.

I played for ≈ 30 minutes I don't get Diablo....well I mean, I get it, but is not for me.

story wise this feels like it takes place between D2 and D3? kinda cool, I've been playing D2R a lot so it's neat to play a game that continues the story where D2 left off
not a huge fan of D3, and this feels a lot like D3 to me, but we'll see. might get more sucked in depending on whether my friends pick it up.
as is, it seems like if I'm gaming on my TV I'd rather play D2R, and if I'm playing on my couch or something away from TV I'd rather use my Switch.
I don't game in public, so I don't see a huge appeal to mobile games, but it does feel fairly polished and the controls are surprisingly good

I am genuinely enjoying the game so far. It feels like an evolution of Diablo 3. I keep waiting for the mobile, microtransaction pay to win wall shoe to drop but.. that hasn't happened yet. The main story feels like a genuine truly developed Diablo game.
I'm sure it'll show it's true colors in the end game, but for now? This is easily worth a download and your time, it's fun.

It does. It's a prequel to D3.

Runs great on my iPad Air 4th Gen. I was one of those weirdos who enjoyed D3 at launch so this is hitting the spot for now, though I do wonder how the marketplace is going to play out.

And the story + writing are just as bad as D3 so far
I had forgotten how bad the current Diablo writers are until this game smacked me over the head with Evil Necromancer Lady, straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon.
Good thing the gameplay is solid, and controls well with a controller. Sure am looking forward to play it on PC, though!

For those curious about the MTX, looks like the main thing is a battlepass which every game does now:

12 . something GB when you get all of the stuff downloaded. Pretty large game.
I notice it has voice acting which is suprising for a mobile game.

What do you mean?
It's still a sh*t game and a worse Diablo abusing the good name of a once beloved franchise to lure players into their predatory pay 2 win mechanics.
The only fools defending this are braindead mobile phone junkies who are already used to being exploited by their crappy mobile gatcha games.

iOS install says 3.5 gig but it must be more from what people are saying

Really enjoying this so far. Played on iPhone 13 Pro Max with Backbone One controller as well as iPad Pro with DualSense 5. Both work really well. That said, the touch controls are also really good. Looking forward to playing on PC tomorrow, which is my preferred choice.
I've tried countless mobile games and few have kept my interest for long. I think this will definitely be one of them as long as the gameplay loop is fun. So far, the game is really good.

I think the first section of the game is 3.5 gigs but the download section had many more chapters for whopping 12 GB.
Took all day on my works wifi to download it all. I'm sure the boss will love that.

I'll play primarily on PC but I like the idea of having it on my iPhone and iPad to pick up where I left off on the PC if I want to.

Pssst.. it’s not a shit game.. it plays like *looks around and whispers in secret .. Diablo 3 .
But seriously.. it’s a good game minus any MTX. It’s not Diablo 4 of course but it never was meant to be. I’m just surprised that it’s not only on the level of Diablo 3 but surpasses it in some areas like better skills for characters.

Low level Wizard is a lot more fun than in D3 so far.

My character was invisible, the characters at the main screen were invisible, and I closed it thinking it would help. The game kept crashing whenever I tried opening it up and it crashed when I hit the “repair” button. I’ve uninstalled the game and will wait for Diablo IV. Not saying this isn’t good or anything.

It's literally pay 2 win crap:
You guys need some standards and self-respect instead of playing this obvious cash grab.
