Overall, Diablo did not encounter too many difficulties in promoting it overseas, and it was even better than when Warcraft was launched.

After all, after the release of "Warcraft", Thunder Interactive Entertainment also has a certain reputation overseas, especially in some player groups who like this theme, so "Diablo" has attracted the attention of many players before it is released.

Moreover, the Western fantasy theme is already more popular in foreign countries, especially in the European and American markets, and "Diablo" itself is an RPG theme, which has a wider audience than RTS games like "Warcraft".

Unlike domestic players, overseas players don't have much criticism of the third-person perspective, because there are more independent games overseas, and there are more players who like single-player games.

Among these indie games, there are many small studios that can only develop this kind of RPG from a third-person perspective due to cost issues, so the acceptance of this RPG by overseas players is higher than that of domestic players.

After the publicity and warm-up, in the expectation of players, the overseas version of "Diablo" was officially launched!

The overseas version of "Dark" is priced at $49, which is much more expensive than "Warcraft". After all, Diablo has a larger investment, is more well-made, and is an RPG game with a wider audience.

……

The overseas version of Diablo is officially on sale.

Many of the players who have been following this game have bought and downloaded it one after another, and many of them are loyal players of Warcraft, and they believe that the RPG games produced by the gamemakers who made Warcraft must be just as classic.

Soon, these players were drawn to Diablo's unique art style and excellent story.

Unlike domestic players, overseas players, especially those in Europe and the United States, have a deeper understanding of this cultural background and are more likely to resonate with the world created in Diablo.

At the same time, the concepts of angels, demons, and Nephilim are too intimate for European and American players, and the story of Nephilim saving the world is very much in line with the values of individual heroism in Western culture, and the character of Tyrrell has gotten the point of Western political correctness to a certain extent.

Without exception, these players are full of praise for the story of Diablo.

……

The Most High Heaven.

"Tyrell, the ancient laws of the High Heavens forbid us to interfere in the affairs of mortals!"

"But you did it anyway, and...... Blatant! ”

Imprius stood on a high throne, his golden armor glittering, his flaming wings waving, and he looked like the embodiment of a god full of majesty.

Dressed in silver armor, Tyrell showed no weakness: "Impres, all my faults are to show justice!" And you, will only secretly hide behind your throne! ”

"Shut up!!"

Impreth turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Tyrell, grabbing the armor on his chest.

"Now, you must be punished for it!"

The golden light and the silver light fought, and in the end, Tyrell snatched Impres's spear, pointed the tip of the spear at the archangel of courage of the High Council of Angris, and said solemnly, "You have no right to judge me, for I am the embodiment of justice!" ”

"What we should do is not only to fight demons, but also to protect those innocent!"

"But if our supreme vows keep you from doing nothing, then ...... I will no longer be with you! ”

Tyrrell gripped his angel shoulderplates with both hands, letting out a low roar of pain. The angel's divine power began to burst out continuously, sweeping through the entire hall.

Imprius involuntarily took a step back and said angrily: "A great sin against the sky, willing to fall!" ”

Tyrell's wings fell, dissolving into the ground of the High Heavens, red flames began to scorch his body, and tentacles of divine power grabbed his arms and dragged him into the mortal realm.

Tyrell turns into a meteor and falls towards Tristrom Cathedral.

……

The plot of "Diablo" has also caused heated discussions among overseas players.

"To be honest, I was most surprised by this episode of Tyrell. The worldview of "Dark" seems to be very desperate, and the protagonist is alone wherever he goes, as if he has never had an enemy, but Tyrrell should belong to the type that can help a little. ”

"I think the screenwriter is too accurate about Tyrell's character, and a series of plots also show Tyrell's character to the fullest."

"As an angel of justice, he strictly abides by the law, rules, and order and maintains fairness and impartiality at all times, because it is the duty of an angel of justice."

"But at a critical juncture, in order to save this world, Tyrell chose to side with the human race, personally violated the commandments of the Supreme Heaven, and abandoned his identity as an angel, I think this spirit is really too precious!"

"Yes, there are very few foreign games that can give me this kind of emotion from the plot and story, and Diablo has done it. Sure enough, Thunder Mutual Entertainment has continued their meticulous work on the plot, and this plot is really great! ”

……

Similar to when "Diablo" was released in China, players had a high initial impression of this game, especially after experiencing the whole plot, the rating of the overseas version of "Diablo" once reached about 9 points.

Moreover, because overseas players are more likely to resonate with this kind of magical theme, the situation of the overseas version of "Dark" is even better than Chen Mo expected, with sales expected to be around 600,000 units in the first week, and 3 million units in the first month.

Chen Mo estimates that the sales of "Dark" at home and abroad combined can reach about 10 million sets, although it is far less than the 30 million sets in the previous life, but this data is already very impressive.

However, while the overseas version of "Dark" was a big hit, there were more and more controversies about the game.

Some of them are players from overseas versions.

"I think I've been deceived by the developer, although the plot of this game is very good, and the quality is great, but the later stage is really boring! It's unbelievable, this game is really much worse than Warcraft! ”

"That's right, even by the standards of a single-player game, it's a bit too monotonous, which reminds me of some Korean games that look beautiful but are actually a mess!"

"Well, while I think the above two are a little critical of the game, I think so too. Although the game is impeccable in terms of story and quality, its follow-up gameplay is not as good as those indie games that are full of sincerity. So I can only give it a 7. ”

"It's a very boring game, and I don't really understand why the designer has to make a dozen difficulties, does he expect us to brush and brush day after day until we reach the highest difficulty?"
