Demonic mother figure Lilith is threatening the world, corrupting its inhabitants while commanding an army of supernatural creatures. Hang on, didn’t we review Midnight Suns already? But this is completely different, of course, and not only because the imperilled world is Sanctuary rather than Earth. Prepare yourself for an epic adventure, and more costume changes than your favourite sketch show.
Diablo, in case you didn’t know, popularised the idea of trawling through dungeons for widely varied loot. 25 years or so later the loot is shinier, but the fundamental idea is the same: to open chests and kill enemies on a quest for better and better kit which, thanks to the Americanised naming, includes an item that is genuinely called Magic Pants (although we greatly appreciate finding a pair of Sturdy Pants, too).
Before that, though, you need to create your character. Choosing from the Rogue, Sorcerer, Druid, Barbarian, and Necromancer classes, you can then fiddle with their appearance before starting your quest. Pick wisely; you can make multiple characters, but they don’t share items or XP, so each needs to be levelled up separately.
