    How many former blizzard devs making Diablo 2 clones are we up to now?

      Torchlight and Torchlight II were great. It’s a good thing they stopped there and never made a third.

      As long as they keep doing it until someone finally gets it right, I think its fine

        We already had Grim Dawn. Not former D2 devs but easily as good as a D2 spiritual successor could be

        We already had Diablo 2. So there’s no reason to keep going then, right?

      About as many as ex Disco Elysium devs.

    It seems cool, and it’s got some ideas. I swung a hammer around, and it’s got a vertical swing, so it essentially just started digging. I did it a few times and then dropped into a dungeon that I didn’t know was there. The UI and onboarding are rough, as to be expected, and I wish I could see what they’re cooking further down the skill tree, but there are some good bones there.

    Just like Last Epoch (before the dlc drama), I’m hopeful for a success.

    Would prefer not to get a pop up every 20 minutes for their kickstarter but it does seem like they have a solid foundation to work from
