Hello, this is Ismo. Today, I would like to talk a bit about Diablo Immortal, as it marks the second anniversary of its official release. I remember that Diablo Immortal officially opened in June 2022, so it has been exactly two years and about one or two months since then. However, when I first started playing Diablo Immortal after its official release, I leveled up to about level 10 and then stopped playing. I’m not sure why, but I recall that it wasn't very enjoyable at that time. I had many other games to play, and I wondered if I really needed to play Diablo Immortal. Additionally, I heard from others that the game would become difficult to progress without spending money, which made me think, Do I really need to play this game? So, I stopped. After Diablo Immortal opened, I only reached around level 10.

I had been raising it, then gave up and forgot about it. Then, a little while ago, I purchased the Poco F6 smartphone, right? At that time, I installed Diablo Immortal to measure the gaming performance, and I found it quite enjoyable after playing for a while. Since it had been a long time since I played, I thought, Well, why not try Diablo Immortal? Here I am now. 

If you look at my current character, I’m playing as a Barbarian, and I have reached level 60, with a Conqueror level of 72. This is all completely basic for a beginner. As for my progress, I have completed all the main quests that are currently available, so I've done everything I can do so far. However, it’s not particularly impressive since I’ve only experienced the story, so it’s not anything grand. Let me show you a bit of the world. Most people probably already know about Diablo Immortal, so I don't need to explain much.

I think it might be similar to my experience. When Diablo Immortal was first released, I played it a bit and then probably stopped. I think many people might have done the same. I want to share my thoughts after completing the ending of Diablo Immortal. To get straight to the point, two years later, having only cleared the main quests, I can say that it has become a game I would highly recommend for those who just want to see the story. I felt the same way. I didn’t join any clans or engage in ongoing activities like clan wars. In the game, there are factions like Horde, Alliance, Shadow, and Immortal, where players team up for multiplayer activities, PvP, and so on. Honestly, I’m not interested in those aspects; I just wanted to complete the main quests.

If you only look at the story, it's just a game that ends for some people. For those with a similar inclination to mine who prefer to play the game more in single-player mode, it is quite a decent game. Currently, when Diablo Immortal was first revealed a while back, there were parts in the main quest where players would get stuck. There were level restrictions, and you had to farm for equipment; if you didn't do those things, you couldn't progress. This was because your level was low and your equipment was inadequate, so you couldn't move forward. I heard those comments back then, but now, if I show you a bit, just leveling up gives you a ton of weapons. The reason is that the game has been out for two years now, and they need to attract new players. If they don't provide that support, new players won't be able to adapt when they come in. So, every time you level up, they give you a lot of equipment. If you look at the service here, you can see the legendary items.

There is a path where, as you level up, you receive various items like set weapons and legendary weapons. If you look, I have reached Level 3 in the territory path, and they give out set weapons and gems freely. Because of this, there is no need to farm for equipment. You can complete the main story ending with just the equipment provided in this territory path. It's true. I am currently at Level 3 in the territory path, and I have the Conqueror level. My Conqueror level is 72, so I am stopping here, but every time I level up, I also receive set rings. So, they keep providing equipment until my Conqueror level reaches 85. I don't know if there will be anything beyond that or if there will be a new territory path, but they are giving out an incredible amount of items. This is perfect for those who just want to enjoy the main quest and story in Diablo Immortal.

It's a great time to go in and play the game right now. I don't know if my memory is strange, but I remember that back then, the impact and other aspects weren't that great. However, after trying it again now, the impact doesn't feel bad at all. Was my memory wrong, or was it because I stopped playing when I was around level 10? At that time, my character was too low-level to really experience the impact properly. Anyway, now the impact feels good, and it's become a playable game. They also give out a lot of equipment. Of course, since I've seen the entire story of this game, I probably won't play it anymore. However, the story isn't over yet. It's a game that's continuously being updated, so it's not finished. Since I've seen the ending of this game, I won't...

There is no reason to continue with this. It's somewhat like a chapter. We have the Ashen Redemption, the Graveyard, the Dark Forest, and the Library of Zoltun Kulle. Currently, we have reached the Southern part of the Land of Terror. The existence of the South implies that there will also be a Northern part of the Land of Terror. Furthermore, Diablo has not yet appeared in the story. Occasionally, there are brief appearances of Diablo's illusions, but we have not yet faced Diablo. That will likely happen towards the end. This is not a standard packaged game; it is an online mobile game that is continuously updated. In fact, if Diablo were to appear, the game would have to come to an end. So, honestly, I don't know if Diablo will show up or not. There are some side demons, like Baal, that do appear, but Diablo has not yet made a real appearance.

I’m not sure if it will come out, but the game itself seems to be somewhat of a prequel to Diablo 3. The game base is quite similar to Diablo 3. As you can see, I have progressed through the Southern Land of Horror, and this is an achievement for clearing the main quest. You can see that the Graveyard of the Radiant Light starts from Chapter 1 on July 21st, and I went through the days 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28. The Southern Land of Horror was completed on the 28th, so I started on the 21st and finished by the 28th, which means I cleared it in about a week. Just to let you know, while playing this game, I never did any level grinding or equipment farming. I just progressed smoothly like I would in a regular hack-and-slash Diablo game. I have never done any level-up grinding or equipment farming.

There is no need to worry. As I mentioned earlier, there is a way to get the service in the shop. I just used the equipment that they provide, and I managed to reach level 60 and conquer up to level 73. So, even you can join a guild war or a clan, or do PVP, but honestly, you can just follow the story and focus on the main quests. You can clear the game without spending any money, just by using the free equipment provided in the game. This is the current state of Diablo Immortal. 

There are various aspects to consider. For example, there are pets, which can be seen as a sort of companion. You can level them up to enhance their abilities, but doing that properly would require some investment. Additionally, there is something called Hell Relics, which can strengthen your character further, but again, that would involve spending money. And then there’s PVP.

If you engage in battles between clans, it will obviously cost money. However, if you just want to enjoy the story and push through the main quests like in a single-player game, I recommend you try it out. You can really progress in the game without spending any money, just using the gear that the game provides. That's how I played, and I'm currently completely free-to-play; I haven't even bought the battle pass. So, I think I had a lot of fun for about a week.

In the early stages of Diablo Immortal, I heard that the monetization was quite severe, and while it might still be intense if you want to spend money now, I found out that making legendary gems costs quite a bit. However, you don't really need legendary gems to push through the story. Additionally, the game does provide a decent amount of gems, so if you look at it, on the seventh day of your first daily completion, you will receive a legendary gem.

You can obtain saints, so you can get things like this for free. I remember there was a quest that gave you a 2-star legendary gem as well. I think it was during the time of returning players or maybe it was something for new players. They give out things like that, so for those who are really into hardcore gaming and want to farm continuously to truly enjoy Diablo, it might not be suitable. However, for those who are curious about the prequel story quests of Diablo 4, which is set before Diablo 3, if you invest about five to seven days of your time, you could probably finish it. You can complete it without any special level grinding or farming, experiencing the hack-and-slash feel of Diablo Immortal all the way through. I think that's possible. One downside is...

It means that the story hasn't been fully released yet. So, right now, the southern part of the Land of Horror has come out, but later on, the northern part of the Land of Horror or the western and eastern parts might be released. If that happens, I'll have to jump back in and play the game again. The update intervals tend to be quite long, so waiting for that can be a bit tough, I think. That might be one of the downsides. Or, if I really want to play the game intensely, it will cost me some money, but it won't be as much as what you would spend on Lineage. Still, I managed to play this game without spending any money and enjoyed playing through the main quest all the way to the end. I originally had no intention of finishing this game. While playing, there were times when my level was too low, and I would die, or my weapon level was too...

It's low, so I thought I should go somewhere and farm some equipment. If I had that, I would have quit the game right away. But I didn't have anything like that; I just kept going until the end. Now, I've gone straight through to the last part of the horror, all the way to the southern area. I couldn't stop in the middle because the progress was going too well. By the way, I hardly did any side quests or anything like that. I just focused purely on the main quest. There were some tutorials that said to try this or that, but I only proceeded with those. So, I think there’s still quite a lot left to enjoy. If you look at the achievements, for example, it's at 18%, 18%, 27%, and so on. There’s still a lot that hasn't been completed. This means that this percentage comes solely from pushing through the main quest straight. So, each...

I think that if you proceed with certain side quests hidden in each map, like bounty hunting, the percentage might increase. However, I personally don't see much reason to enjoy it that way. I simply enjoyed the story of Diablo Immortal. There are probably quite a few people who enjoy it like I do. I felt the same way about Diablo 1, 2, 3, and 4. When I play games like Diablo, I’m the type of person who considers it finished once I see the ending. I absolutely don’t engage in grinding dungeons to become stronger or farming endlessly. I just defeat Diablo, see the ending, and that's it. Why continue playing after defeating Diablo? I think it's time to move on to another game. I view games as complete works on their own.

If you enjoy completing things, I think you can have a lot of fun just diving into Diablo Immortal and enjoying the single-player content. If you try it out now, the game is quite good. For those who only want to experience the main story, I believe you can enjoy it just as much, as the equipment distribution is the same for other class characters. The most recently added character, as far as I know, is the character called Tempest 4. So, trying out this newly added class could be a good idea. Personally, I prefer to cut through enemies with a more straightforward approach, so I chose the Barbarian and progressed through the game by slicing through foes with Whirlwind. Anyway, for those who tried Diablo Immortal in its early days and then stepped away, grinding levels or equipment...

For those who have given up on the game due to the farming grind, I suggest you return now because they are generously giving out equipment, making it quite enjoyable. Today marks the second anniversary of Diablo Immortal. Although the anniversary was actually last month, I wanted to share my impressions after playing for a week. If you've been looking for a game to play or have been wanting to try out a hack and slash game, or if you previously played Diablo Immortal but got tired of it due to the grind for equipment and leveling up, now is a good time to return and see the many changes. I've completed the main quest, so there's nothing more for me to do at the moment. I'm considering taking a break from the game and trying out others until the next update.

If it comes out, I think I might return and enjoy the main quest again. That’s what I think. That’s all for today’s video. I would appreciate it if you could subscribe and like the video.
