DevilutionX is an interpretation of Diablo that lets you enjoy one of the parents of modern RPGs with some very interesting improvements on the original release. The only thing you have to do is copy the DIABDAT.MPQ file that can normally be found in the original Diablo installation folder to the /data/org.diasurgical.devilutionx/files folder. And that's it. The process will be finished in just a couple of minutes.
What happens if you don't have a legal copy of Diablo? Well, you can always play the shareware version of the game, which can be downloaded from many different sources. In the Diablo demo, you can't talk with the residents in Tristram or progress further than the third level, where you will inevitably meet the Butcher. This isn't the complete experience, of course. But it does give you a little taste of what the game has to offer.
Among the upgrades that DevilutionX offers, with regards to the original Diablo, there is a significant increase in resolution, as well as support for several mods that you can find on the official website. With these mods, you can enjoy better lighting and you can even play online with up to 16 other players.
DevilutionX is an excellent way to enjoy the parent of modern action RPGs on the latest computer generations. Despite how old it is, the game still offers one of the most polished experiences in the genre. What's more, unlike other games, with its durable gaming system and lovely visuals (that can be made even better), it is still a very accessible game.
