Chapter 192 - : Demon Hunter (1/2)

There was chatter after the cinematic finished.

“Incredible! The cinematics from Thunderbolt Movies still maintain their high standards!”

“I could see every single strand of hard on the girl. I think the manager started burning his money again.”

“What does that mean? I don’t understand what just happened. The old man already looked so sad, why was he hit by a meteor? Was it because he doesn’t his old lady cross the road?”

“The girl was so shocked. Where’s my grandad? Oh wait, where’s my uncle?”

“Start the game, I can’t wait!”

They entered a character select screen.

Five different heroes stood around a campfire under the blanket of darkness, so dark that you could only see their outline.

They looked like they had different looks and equipment. Some had cloth armor, leather, plate armor, wielding weapons like a great axe, crossbow, staff…

Zou Zhuo was quite excited to see this unique character select screen as it felt incredibly immersive, as though he was facing a group of malicious men.

Unlike other RPGs where every character looked like perfect dolls.

A tall strong barbarian stood in the centre of the screen wearing basic armor with a tribal tattoo.

Chen Mo didn’t pick the barbarian from Diablo 3, but Diablo 2. Gone was the old man with ashen hair and beard, in its place was a huge man like Kratos.

“Barbarian? Looks similar to a berserker.”

Zou Zhuo clicked on the other characters.

Everytime he clicked on one of them, they would walk out from the shadows next to the fire, making themselves in full view of the player. The character that was selected before would retreat back into the shadows.

Cool, crossbow wielding Demon Hunter.

Magic wielding Wizard.

The Eastern looking Monk skilled in battle.

Mask wearing Witch Doctor with the power over life and death.

Zou Zhuo clicked on each character to look through them.

There were only five different classes to choose from in this version. Chen Mo planned to add Crusader, Witch Doctor, ranked mode and a competitive mode later.

The player could pick from any of the unique classes. They would also go through a character introduction for each character, showing off special abilities and their story.

Zou Zhuo couldn’t help but quickly go through the story of all the characters.

It didn’t take long for him to notice the difference in the design of classes in Diablo and other games.

At first glance, the characters are exactly the same as classic western fantasy characters (warrior, wizard, archer, crusader, etc.), just reskinned. But after looking deeper into their abilities and story, they were actually starkly different.

The biggest difference was the lack of differentiation between characters by separating them into defensive, offensive and support style characters. All characters were offensive characters, only differing in the way they did damage.
