Hello and greetings from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeer and look what I have found.
If you never heard about this, you might be as surprised now as I was few days ago.
This is a Diablo 2 remake called Reign of Terror that uses Grim Dawn game as a base.
All five acts, all bosses, Diablo 2 hero classes, shrines, set items, runes and runewords, mercenaries
and even a cow level is present in this mod.
And all sounds and music is also transferred from Diablo 2.
You can actually hear them saying Rakanishu.
Of course this is not exactly Diablo 2 with better graphics, because while playing you
will constantly feel that you’re playing a Grim Dawn and Diablo 2 mashup.
Especially because of the menu and instant health regeneration while you’re not fighting
and many monsters are replaced by similar ones found in Grim Dawn.
But it is easy to cope with that, Grim Dawn is a great game, allegedly this how we all
wanted Diablo 3 to be, so more Diablo in Grim Dawn is better than less Diablo I guess.
To play it, all you need is a Grim Dawn game with Forgotten Gods DLC installed.
Diablo 2 Reign of Terror mod is completely free.
I have posted the link to it in the description below.
It is quite heavy, If I remember right it is about 6 gigabytes.
Just copy the contents of Reign of Terror to your Grim Dawn’s mod folder and play
it as a custom game.
It’s super easy to install.
I have to warn you, that some classes work better than others.
In example at first I’ve made a mistake by choosing a barbarian, because he somehow
did less damage and boss killing was a pain.
Look at me trying to kill Blood Raven.
Of course, my level is quite low, but it took me about 10 minutes to show Blood Raven that
I am the boss, you hear me?
Yeah, take that Blood Raven, you weakling.
So, all in all, game looks cool, environments are very Diablo’ish, but do not expect full
remake here.
As I have mentioned before, it is a mashup of the games, so don’t be surprised that
Duriel looks like that.
Yeah, it’s just some giant bug, no majestic colossal body of real Duriel.
Although Andariel is pretty close call, look at those doobies bouncing up and down.
She would definitely be a star in the Instagram nowadays.
Or hub or tube... whatever.
And now you wanna see Diablo and Baal?
Of course you do.
There is a Diablo.
Yeap, the Lord of Terror looks amazing and the environment is also recreated perfectly.
They have done an amazing job here.
He even does that red lightning we all hate so much.
Let’s go to Baal.
Yeah, dude is a crab man, crustacean of some sort, but hey, he does all the sequences,
he spawns his minions at first and later duplicates itself, like a real Baal would do.
Oh, and I forgot Mephisto.
There it is.
What do you think, guys?
Is it close enough?
I think it’s decent replacement, he has no legs, but also it lacks a puffy cloud of
joy original Mephisto tend to float on.
Well, there isn’t much else to say.
If you’re proud owner of Grim Dawn with Forgotten Gods DLC, just try it on your own.
And if you are thinking now, do I need to buy Grim Dawn now just to play Diablo 2 on
it, then probably no.
It is a fun mod, but probably not something you should pay money for.
I would dare to say otherwise - if you never played Grim Dawn, just buy Grim Dawn for the
sake of playing Grim Dawn, and Diablo 2 modification will be just a nice free addition to an already
great game.
And you probably heard about recent news that Blizzard is actually remaking Diablo 2.
Me personally, after the failure of Warcraft 3 I can almost bet that Reforged Diablo 2
will somehow make the original game worse and you will probably have to pay Deckard
Cain real money for the item identification.
Stay awhile and give me some euros.
Yeah.
That’s it.
