The Diablo 3D team has released a demo of its fan 3D remake of the original Diablo in Godot 4, called Diablo3D. This demo lets you experience Tristram and Cathedral level 1 with all three classes in full 3D. So, if you are a die-hard Diablo fan, you should definitely check it out.

The demo starts with Tristram. The town has been rebuilt in full 3D, tile by tile, based on the map from the original game. It also keeps the dark look of the old game, with an endless night sky above the town.

You can meet nine townsfolk in Tristram. They keep their old lines and voices, so they should feel familiar to fans. Griswold also works much like he did in the first game. His stock and prices follow the same rules as the 1996 version.

The dungeons also stay true to the original game. The remake uses a port of the old level generator to build the Cathedral. This means each trip down into the dungeon creates a new layout. You never know what awaits you on the next descent.

Combat also uses the same math as the first Diablo. This covers hit chance, damage, critical hits, blocking, armor, and hit recovery. Weapons and armor can also lose durability. You must repair them when they wear out.

You can play as the Warrior, Rogue, or Sorcerer. Each class has the same base and max stats as the original game. They also start with their own gear, just as they did in 1996.

The big change is how you see and fight in the world. Diablo3D uses a first-person view. You can fight with melee weapons and block attacks with a shield. Bows use a hold-to-draw system, while magic lets you cast Firebolt, Charged Bolt, and Inferno.

Loot also follows the old rules. Magic and unique items use the same affix system as the first game. Each item you can find at level 1 also has its own detailed 3D model. This helps bring the old loot system into the new 3D world.

The monsters keep their old stats and behavior, too. They have the same life, damage, and habits as before. Some foes even keep their old tricks. For example, Fallen monsters will run away when one of their group dies. They can then rally with a war cry and return to fight.

The remake also keeps the classic interface layout from 1996. If you want a more modern look, you can switch to an optional Modern skin. It also supports ultrawide screens up to 5120×1440. You can rebind the keys to use controls that suit your play style.

Overall, this is a really cool way to re-experience the original Diablo game. Those interested can go ahead and download the demo from its official website. Below, you can also find a trailer for it. This trailer will give you a glimpse of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.

Have fun!
