The aggressive monetization system kills the well-designed gameplay of the free RPG. Immortal Diablo, the players agree. The Bellular News YouTube channel agrees with them because they found that A full upgrade of the hero costs up to 110 thousand dollars.. This is in terms of 2.5 million crowns. And what’s worse, you can’t achieve this without money, it’s not just about the game.
The game has three pillars of development: experience level, equipment level and legendary gems. The first two options are fairly standard in many RPGs, but legendary gems require you to buy chests (similar to loot boxes). Legendary Gems can’t even be bought separately, only through chestswhere their number/value is not guaranteed.
According to the Reddit community, the amount needed to fully upgrade a character could be even higher because there is another upgrade tier to be unlocked later. This should require a repeat of the process that needs to happen another $40,000 (922 thousand crowns). And it shouldn’t end there.
In connection with aggressive microtransactions, it is worth recalling that because of the loot boxes did not have Diablo Immortal released in the Netherlands and Belgiumwhere strict laws apply and loot boxes are considered gambling. Otherwise, the game is available worldwide and can be downloaded for free from Google Play, the App Store, and Battle.net.
After this discovery, the rating on the Metacritic server gradually decreases. At the time of writing, Diablo has Immortal. user rating only 0.8, which is the third worst result in Blizzard history. Only Warcraft III Reforged (0.6) and World of Warcraft Classic: Burning Crusade Classic (0.4) 2020 and 2021 are worse off.
As expected, players are criticizing microtransactions. At first glance, Diablo Immortal doesn’t appear to be aggressively priced or pushing players to pay. However, once the endgame is reached, PvP-destroying hell begins.
Some players find themselves in a dangerous circle where they first spend a few hundred dollars to get a coveted item. But then they want more and more. And it was on them that Blizzard placed its cards.
