I essentially cycled through the two weapons while sometimes pressing circle to dodge enemy strikes. After building up her level, I was able to access more of her abilities and switched back and forth between an energy-generating melee attack with dual daggers and a more powerful ranged attack with a bow. I stumbled upon a few lengthy dungeons, and I had no problem clearing them using the ranged skills of the Rogue. With all the activity, “Diablo IV” feels more alive than past games. They’ll also run into minor World Events miniquests, where they’ll have to defend an innocent or defeat enemies summoned by an obilisk. They can help them out or ignore the skirmish and be on their way. It almost has the feel of its mobile counterpart “Diablo Immortal.” Players will be traipsing through the wilderness and run into a stranger fighting wild dogs.
In Kyovashad and other hamlets, players will run into other humans playing the game. The townspeople celebrate the Wanderer in town in “Diablo IV.” Everything is all right here. That gives the curious an opportunity to test out different skills and tinker with builds that go with the gear. They’ll find that it’s so large that players will need mounts later in the campaign, but for now, the demo limits players to a few quests around town of Kyovashad and the region called the Fractured Planes.
After a brief prologue that shows players that they really can’t trust anybody, they’re thrown into an expansive world that’s filled with danger and other players. From the few hours I played as the Rogue, the world of Sanctuary seems richer, darker and more alive with elements found in massively multiplayer online games. The latest entry doesn’t change a blockbuster formula, but rather, it refines and updates it. It has the same addictive gameplay loop as players fought hordes of worgs, skeletons and other baddies earning loot and experience points on the way. “Diablo IV” held the first of two betas last week, and Blizzard’s dungeon crawler was fantastic.
