What is the Diablo Immortal about?
The plot of Diablo Immortal takes place five years after Diablo II but before Diablo III. The players start their journey in the in-game location, Wortham. Further, cultists and undead are the great threats to stop that the player needs to destroy the shards of the Worldstone.
However, the best part about the game is that it is multiplayer. So, players can team up with their friends and other players. Further, this MMO game supports cross-platform, so players can play across different platforms. Also, it supports cross-progression, allowing players to save across different platforms.

The game is free-to-play but that doesn’t mean players don’t have to spend real money. Diablo Immortal supports micro-transactions, allowing players to spend real currency on skins and various in-game items.
Fans react to Diablo’s great achievement
As soon as the developers shared the game reached over 10 million installations. Fans didn’t waste time sharing their thoughts about Diablo Immortal and its great achievement within a week of release.
The fans are split into halves as many fans liked the game but some didn’t appreciate the micro transactions in the game.
Idk why everyone is mad because they have to spend money m. I’m almost to level 60 and not spent a penny. It’s fun and addicting… I’m highly addicted to Diablo 3 but haven’t been on it really since this game came out!

Congratulations, good launch BUT pairing with Netease and making everything HEAVILY GATCHA was a bad idea…
Their game LifeAfter takes a minimum of 10,000 to 50,000 paid coins to get all the items, you've had people spend $4,000+ to NOT GET A 5🌟 GEM… pic.twitter.com/EU6nDyVvCL— Twizted Dream (@Twizted_Dream) June 10, 2022
This is Actblizz last ditch effort to take as much money before the take over, they leaving soon we see their true colors, no surprise. After Microsoft takes over they will reduce MTX by like 10% and act like liberators but still being running an insanely profitable mobile game.

Game not actually bad until end game where you are kinda screwed in PVP, getting certain rare gems for your build, and fairly low ways to get specific legendaries (I got the same one 5 times). It's fun for a casual playthrough but don't spend money just wait for D4
