Diablo IV Gameplay

The game's main idea is to get better gear by defeating tougher enemies gradually. You fight enemies using different skills based on your character class, and you can make these skills even better with equipment and talent trees. This helps you move forward in the story and complete quests. Enemies are grouped into families with a common theme, combat style, and location. Each family has different roles and abilities, and they work together with special powers.

The story in Diablo IV focuses on ordinary people in the Sanctuary rather than kings or high-fantasy themes, making it more relatable. Your character's strength in battles depends on their attributes and boosts from items. Offensive attributes like attack and critical chance increase your damage, while defensive stats like elemental resistance and defense determine how much damage you can take.

The game introduces three new attributes: Angelic, Demonic, and Ancestral Power, affecting beneficial and negative effects. The rarity of weapons and gear indicates their power, with the rarest items having unique effects. Trading and crafting are available, but for less powerful items. Limited-time seasons in the game change legendary powers to keep the gameplay interesting.
