Knowing when best to use certain attacks and keeping an eye on your level of arcane can be the difference between life and another death. You see while basic attacks can be used as often as you like, some abilities either have cool downs or require arcane power. Easy to pick up but also requiring a certain level of resource management.

Using your weapons, magic or abilities is simple thanks to the game’s slim lined approach to combat. Similarly, armour, items and weapons litter the game either dropped by enemies or found in chests and its here I found myself hooked, comparing stats and trying to improve my gear with as many upward facing green arrows as possible.

These attacks can be switched for newly learned ones too and beyond that each can attach runes that offer further enhancements. Take my wizard, for example, only capable of throwing magic projectiles initially but quickly expanding that arsenal to frost rays and explosions. While you’ll need to start from scratch every time you create a new character, there’s definitely merit in doing so if just to try out their varying play styles.Įven in the early goings, your character will learn new attacks and abilities at a brisk pace. Barbarians and Crusaders, for example, are your more melee focused members ideal for getting stuck in the thick of a battle while Demon Hunters and Wizards specialise in ranged attacks ideal for supporting your team from afar. It’s your usual line-up each with their weaknesses and strengths. Before you kick off your adventure you’ll need to first choose your class of which there are seven. If you’re new to the plague-infested world of Diablo III, it’s essentially a top-down dungeon crawler with a focus on gaining experience and gathering increasingly better armour and weapons. Sure this may be a six-year old game but Diablo III Eternal Collection has aged tremendously well and better yet feels like it’s found a perfect home in the Nintendo Switch largely thanks to its portable features. Diablo III Eternal Collection is the latest big AAA third-party title to get the Switch treatment and the first Blizzard game to come to a Nintendo system since the days of the SNES believe it or not.
