The skill requires you to direct the meteor on the screen with the directional pad. As expected, there were definitely differences to PC gameplay though.įor example, one of the Wizard’s skills initiates a meteor from the sky. So I was delightfully surprised to enjoy how easy it was to pick up this class on mobile. The Monk is my favorite class from Diablo 3 overall but I had never played the Wizard class before. I personally preferred the Monk and the Wizard classes. In contrast, I spoke to a few other players and they enjoyed the Barbarian class over the other two classes so that could just be me. I felt like I was tapping my right thumb a bit more than I needed to.

Personally, I wasn’t too fond of the Barbarian class.

The demo basically walked me through how to use each skill, pick up items and show off the multiplayer features. There were times I got stuck beside a tree or couldn’t quite get out of a tight location, like a narrow corridor or when I was surrounded by a group of enemies, but I’d like to think this is more of a familiarity with gaming on a smartphone or handheld device. I was surprised at how easy it was to maneuver around the map with the on-screen directional pad, especially because I’m used to playing Diablo on the PC. Now, most of these were similar to the skills used in Diablo 3, although I think there were others which looked new to me. The 4 other circular buttons represent your character’s special skills, each with a separate cooldown or delay between uses. The large circular button represents your base move, e.g., slashing with a weapon as with the Barbarian. There are 4 round buttons that surround a large circular button. Basically, I put my thumbs on the left where a circle appeared for the on-screen directional pad and on the right where buttons for your characters special skills where positioned. Soon after selecting my character, a screen appeared which asked me to begin my adventure by placing my thumbs on-screen following a thumb outline on screen. My first time to play I defaulted to the Barbarian character class.
