The Fallen are described in the manuals as being cowardly little shits. well, they're generally very basic enemies, yeah? One of them beats you up with a spiky club (or a sword, in other models - they're not always mere repaints) while the 'Shaman' one uses their staff to shoot out fireballs and stuff. Perhaps the most iconic of the enemies in this game are the Fallen and Fallen Shaman, a race of humanoid imp-like demons with horns and loincloth that run around and. I'm going to do a small wave of 'reviewing monsters' articles in these couple of weeks. We'll cover Act 1 and Act 2 here, and then the rest of the base game and the Lord of Destruction DLC in a second part. I attempted to do all fo this in a single sitting, but I had enough to say that I decided to split things up. If you want to really look at every single variation of the enemy, click here for the Diablo Wiki's bestiary. Since most of the difference lies in colouration and in-game levels, I'll just talk about the monsters based roughly on the 'Act' that they show up in. And then sometimes the models are upscaled to be used as a named boss. So at one point in the game the same demons you met and slaughtered with ease early on might show up in blue or in green as more powerful versions of themselves as your characters themselves scale up. Of course, as with any self-respecting RPG game, Diablo II offers a large amount of enemies, and makes great use of model reusing. In Diablo II, turns out that the titular Diablo has two brothers, and the protagonists of the first game have been corrupted and tricked into unleashing these demons upon the world. You pick a class and go through the world of Sanctuary, which has been invaded by demons, and your hero goes through the campaign as he/she slays the armies of undead and demons while attempting to kill the great demon, the titular Diablo.

For those who are not as initiated, Diablo II is the second and perhaps most well-regarded of the Diablo series, a series of action hack-and-slash RPG. I didn't manage to play Diablo II when it first came out, but I did end up buying it and playing through it in a couple of large sittings as a Sorceress, and then again as a Necromancer. Hell yeah Diablo! It's 6th of June, right? I did this a while back but set up the date so that it's published on an appropriate date.
