Guys, I just bought it yesterday. I am level 6 already…took 54 min (it records time) on easy level. NOTE: Easy level lets more items drop per kill

I am a big Diablo LOD player. I made 99 level 2 times on USWEST ladder (DragonUrAss), so when I say this game is like diablo, please believe me. The first boss in the second photo above will always drop a green item. Drops are usually gray items, but I found some green and 1 purple item sword.

This game lets you choose from 4 characters and lets you save upto 3 different characters on your itouch. To save it just hit options, save, then hit your finger against one of the four save windows (one is auto save-luv it).

Cons: no map, but hey…it may come in an update in a few weeks.
Also you can not play on-line. Character difference is very small in skill area. Could use some differences in skills. Also no stash that I can find in town.

Pros: Easy saving, auto-save, 4 characters to choose, gray-green-purple items and more, easy portal home to sell stuff, Great D-1 Dungeon experience. Character runs across screen fast. Cool Beserk skill (same as whirlwind barbarian in D-2 but uses very little mana). Lots of drops more in the easy level…less in difficult levels.

Paying $4.99 for having a Diablo-like game in your pocket at your convienience is Godly. This is the only RPG game I have liked so far on itunes.

I play-tested this game and I was very impressed. It brought me back to my old love of the D2 days and I really wanted to keep playing when I was away from the Pixel Mine Studios. I am buying a iPod within the month and this will be with me at all times.

Well if you were playing the beta maybe you should give release a chance.

I think that the future of role playing and video games is definitely going to be on the iphone and other portable phone devices. Unlike a psp or an xbox, everyone is walking around with a phone in their pocket. Its like an almost infinite distribution channel for game making companies. Now…they need to add the interactive features to a portable rpg, like allowing you to join a network and fight with others. When that happens, you will know the future is here.

Also, it would be nice to be able to hook an iphone up to a television. Does anyone know if that can easily be done?

the thing everyone is going to have to take into account is the fact that its not going to be perfect on release… everyone is going to be comparing this to d2 which kinda sux, but at the same time if peaople have patience this game is going to kick ass!

You clearly haven't played Diablo 2.

Not to say this game couldn't be screwed up royally, but if it is even one percent as good as Diablo, it should be amazing.
