Amo la atmósfera, ni siquiera la misma saga pudo replicarla. Me encantaría re jugarlo algún día.

It's fine.
Totally shocked at how smooth of an experience this was. Usually when I play a PC game from the 90s I just assume I’m gonna have to read a guide to get around a bunch of weird archaic shit, and that is not the case here. I was able to just hit the ground running and feed demon after demon into the wood chipper while vibing with the atmosphere that is completely singular.
Chasing down those succubi to hit them with my giant cartoon axe made me feel like I was playing a Tom & Jerry episode.

Since I don't have nostalgic feelings, it's easier to comment objectively. The game hasn't aged well, unfortunately. It has no QoL updates by today's standards that will allow you to play the game for long hours.

The original Diablo was without a doubt an amazing experience at the time when it was released, as the game was the grandfather of the ARPG genre, that is still dominated by Diablo even today.
Sadly, the very first game of this franchise aged rather poorly, making it a very hard game to enjoy these days. On the positive side, the game is rather short, featuring 16 levels and 3 classes (without the Hellfire expansion) making it kind of diversed. However, these 3 classes are very simplistic, and almost play similarly with very tiny differences between them. The bosses are rather poorly made, they are just spongy versions of other mobs, even the infamous Butcher boss feels really cheap, despite how much of a cult following this character has these days.
Overall, I simply cannot recommend the original Diablo to any newcomer to this franchise, as it is a rather rough experience and not very welcoming.

Not as easy or fun to play as 2, but it’s a great time and I was really blown away by the atmosphere and story telling in particular
i feel like if there is one game that blizz or any other "le diablo 2" cloners cannot replicate, it's this game. the schizoid satanic darkcore atmosphere coupled with survival horror tendencies that give you dopamine hits from getting to safety instead of shiny rare nightmare dungeon drops is something no arpg in this day and age will ever give
The greatest hack-and-slash game ever made, and absolutely the best Diablo title. A near-perfect rogue-like distilled into a grimdark vision for the masses. Much, much slower than its sequels, but also more open, more mysterious, and more obtuse in all the best ways. It's also, mercifully, not an endless meat grinder. Relatively short and a great co-op experience.

The atmosphere.
cool Esp. in style but loot suckedd&got stale so im skipping to diablo 2
Genuinely wonderful experience that, much like many RPGs in the 90s, may require a guide to get the full experience and not totally ruin a run.
It's short, it's gritty, it looks wonderful, it's simple, it's fun... Diablo 1 and 2 are just fantastic ARPG experiences and the peak of the series.

aesthetically might be my favorite of the series, love the atmosphere especially
I can't help but see this through nostalgia tinted glasses. This introduced me to the world of online play; something I had to incredibly wary of falling into further as the pull of addiction was STRONG with this. Sure, it doesn't hold up nowadays with a myriad of diablo-likes now available, but it's still a very enjoyable trip down memory lane. Pour one out for Blizzard's glory days.
imagine a world where arpg genre evolved from this instead of diablo 2
When I was 14 I played this with two random people on Battle.net and after several hours of playing and finally getting to Diablo the guy playing a Sorcerer killed me and the other player and it made me so mad I didn't play the game for like another decade.
I was playing this after the second part, and it felt rather dull in comparison.
pensa num joguinho díficil hein...
Un juego increíble, la atmósfera que logra, la música y la jugabilidad son excelentes.
For the time? This was KINO.
Nowadays? Eh, I'd rather play Diablo 2.

Great classic and the foundation of the series.
It took me a very long time to finally complete this gem, but one night, it just had to be done. The classic Diablo is the embodiment of nostalgia and one cannot deny that it can be labeled as one of the greatest foundations of video game history.
That being said, I will focus on the game from the perspective of the time it was released and how it holds up today.
Story wise, Diablo is full of lore and sequel material. Something the developers did very well. It made a solid foundation to create more games, what, of course, happened.
You play as a hero returning to her/his hometown and finding that strange things are happening. The dead rise from their graves/tombs and a unknown evil has taken over the land. You investigate the cathedral, where it all starts and dig deeper into the labyrinth, eventually ending up in hell itself.
Through the story, you learn that all the events and evil can be traced back to the demon lord Diablo. By speaking to Deckard Cain, you learn the gruesome history of his origin and backstory and he must be stopped at all cost. Deckard Cain is not your stereotypical wise man, but actually a Horadrim, a member of an ancient order that always fought against the forces of hell.
Gameplay wise, Diablo is easy to understand and plays smoothly. You pickup weapons, armor, and spells to improve your character, level up to increase your stats and become stronger. You just kill stuff for experience and jug health potions like they were cold beers.
The variation in enemies and environments is nicely done. Every four floors, the setting changes and become darker and more vile. You really get the feeling that you are progressing towards something really disturbing and evil.
The graphics are amazing for its time and, even today, I had no problem looking at the “aged sprites”. Animations are smooth and the enemy designs are very cool. In a time like today, it is hard to imagen that you encounter some sexy succubae with massive juggies that shoot flaming stars at you. As a kid, this would be something else. The piles of gore and blood when you slay the spawns of hell are epic and give a nice stimulating presentation of your hard work.
In the sound department, I still think Diablo is one of the greatest I have ever experienced. The sound of hitting enemies, the grunts and screams, the sound of casting spells and the dreadful music is a piece of art. Everything feels violent and disturbing when it comes to the sound.
There are some small issues in Diablo, like the snail pace movement speed. Moving around town and in the dungeons feels so incredibly slow that my skin crawled in pure agony sometimes. An other small annoyance is that you can get very rich, very fast by selling unique and rare items. This does not sound like a problem, but every five thousand gold takes up a square in your small inventory. So when you sell an epic chest armor that you don’t need for two hundred thousand gold, your inventory is full.
The biggest irony in Diablo, is that the game has a reputation for being relentlessly hard, which is true, but only when you reach the Butcher. If you kill him (by luck, prayer and running), the game turns around and is actually really, really easy. This is mainly because of the unique items you receive from the four main bosses in the game. With those items alone, you are so powerful that the game becomes laughable, especially when you kill the big man himself. Sure, there are still some areas in which enemies bombard you with a million projectiles at the same time, but with some strategy, you can outsmart them by luring small groups at you at a time.
The Butcher is the ultimate beginners trap and, by far, the hardest boss in the game. Mainly because of his “animation stun lock”, in which you cannot move and have to endure hit after hit after hit (which does not end well after hit number 4). After that, it is smooth sailing. The realization that this asshole was the whole reason that I never finished this game before is stunning and funny. I just wished Diablo himself was somewhat more of a challenge. I just put on the unique, and unmissable, Constriction Ring which grants max resistance to fire (while slowly losing health) and blasted him away in seconds.
I would definitely recommend Diablo, even to this day. It is an experience that you must have completed at least once in my honest opinion.
