Darkness Reborn: The first decent Diablo clone for iOS

Lavra, one of the most popular HacknSlash Diablo series of games for a long time do not give rest to developers. From time to time on the game scene appear unsuited clones, each of which assures that he is no worse (and even better) Blizzard product. More interesting to watch the foods that are slowly beginning to break through to the mobile platform. A new contender for the title "Best Diablo clone" - Darkness Reborn for iOS.

At the moment, the best representative of the genre, of course, is a series of Dungeon Hunter games. The developers really tried to take all the fun that was of Diablo, properly allocate the balance, add beautiful graphics, and quickly won the hearts of many gamers.

Gamevil studio decided to go a little bit the other way in his new project. Developers, perhaps the most popular series of role-playing games for mobile platforms - Zenonia, did not focus on the visual component, and not even on the plot (oh, sorry). Important in Darkness Reborn - gameplay.

Personally, I never liked games from

Blizzard. I do not know why, but in a series of famous slasher, adored by millions, I can not find anything to get me to spend more than an hour for him. I frankly get bored of the monotony. It would seem that this is possible and finish the review by saying that Darkness Reborn as boring and extremely pleasant to fans of Diablo. But it was not there…

Gamevil made a very good move for the mobile games: they cut the time to perform one task at times. Thus, the race from the start location to a final mini-boss is traversed by an average of 5-7 minutes. It is the perfect time for a mobile game. And all the rest of the ingredients of success are already in place.

Gameplay is extremely nezateyliv: at our disposal, there is a map, where from one point to another, we we clean locations, fight with bosses, beat out different clothes and pumped as them, and so character. The higher the level of location you ask yourself, the more difficult it will be monsters, and reward, respectively, above. The campaigns against evil, you will gain experience and gold (well, unless someone doubted?), Who will spend the opening of the new skills and repairs constantly breaking belongings.

Skills in the game enough, and each of them is quite interesting. The developers decided that the variability of the chase is not worth it, so the pumping capacity is always limited by character level. On the one hand, strike a balance, on the other - all players will be similar to each other. This is both good and bad at the same time. The joint races for new rags, Expo and gold you can become familiar with the player character, its strengths and weaknesses, so he met with a similar to the PvP-arena will already soon prepared.

In general, the balance of Darkness Reborn is very good. Even taking into account the distribution model (Free to Play, if you have not noticed) - Donati here especially not for that. Rather, there is a way, but there is a critical need. Gameplay perfectly constructed: for each campaign on the level you are spending a few green areas that will eventually be restored or replenished from the real purse, but their recovery is fast enough, so it is not a strong barrier to the game. Shortage of gold, too, did not seem to feel, so a fix can not do things out of their own pockets. And most importantly - the gameplay is not annoying and does not have time to get bored in a short time trip to the location.

The only thing that did not like - it's graphics. The game is made in the popular engine Unity, which is able to give a better and beauty. Therefore, the texture could be done a little more high-resolution instead of the existing "soap", smeared across the screen.
The game has the Russian language localization, but it is not a project where it is needed. It is, and fine, but it would be better translated its Zenonia, where he is much more necessary.

In general, the game failed. Good gameplay, verified balance, non-intrusive Donat, co-op and PvP - all the best for anything like Diablo series. I can say with confidence that it's worth it all, even people like me, not liking Diablo-like games.
