Retro Renegades - Episode: Diablo 2

Diablo II is an action role-playing hack-and-slash computer video game  developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment in  2000 for Microsoft Windows, Classic Mac OS, and macOS. The game, with  its dark fantasy and horror themes, was conceptualized and designed by  David Brevik and Erich Schaefer, who, with Max Schaefer, acted as  project leads on the game. The producers were Matthew Householder and  Bill Roper. The game was developed over a 3 year period, with a crunch  time of 1.5 years long.[3]  Set shortly after the events of Diablo, the player controls a new hero,  attempting to stop the destruction unleashed by Diablo's return. The  game's 5 acts feature a variety of locations and settings to explore and  battle in, as well as an increased cast of characters to play as and  interact with.  Building on the success of its predecessor, Diablo (1997), and improving  the gameplay, both in terms of updated character progression and a  better developed story[4] Diablo II was one of the most popular games of  2000[5] and has been cited as one of the greatest video games ever  made. Major factors that contributed to the game's success include its  continuation of popular fantasy themes from the previous game and its  access to Blizzard's free online play service, Battle.net.[6] An  expansion to the game, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, was released in  2001
