Before you buy it, you should know it is a Diablo 1 clone that is more difficult than it should be due to shoddy mechanics that don't seem fully implemented. Some of those mechanics being a Food meter that makes no sense because it seems to play by its own rules, hits will usually register but once in a great while your hits miss quite a lot, the "9-12 damage" system isn't that consistent and you have to play around with all the weapons to know the real damage they do, there's no real way to expand inventory that I know of and I'm in the Level 5 dungeon, there's a teleportation system that doesn't teleport you but rather "walks" your character there, and almost every single quest requires backtracking to dungeons that you've already cleared. What you should also know is that of you can play in the boundaries in those shoddy mechanics, you will have an enjoyable experience, and your experience will be even better if you can somehow manipulate them, since Darkstone is a bit challenging when you first start a new save file. Also, this game suffers from music glitches that have never been resolved (and the game has been out for 26 years) and you need widescreen mods to play Darkstone on modern hardware. The "mostly positive" reviews are mostly due to the technical issues, if I had to guess. There is a PS1 version of this game that is superior, but you can't emulate it on an emulator because it doesn't play any of the music in the bin files, unless you enjoy video games with silence. The music in this game is actually better than Diablo 1's which is the game Darkstone is ripping off of, so I cannot recommend emulating the PS1 version of the game. The music situation is the main reason I bought this PC version on Steam and I'm honestly getting much further in the PC version than I did on the PS1 version as a kid. But... that could just be because I'm an adult now and I how to play ARPGs, where when I was a kid I didn't know too much. I really, really enjoy this version of the game, and if you can get past the technical and gameplay issues I talked about, you'll enjoy it too.

Never got to finish this in the PS1 era, but good lord I wish this game had controller support. Though the instant loads definitely make up for it.

A criminally underrated Diablo-Clone from the PS1 era. I say this, as I played the PS1 version, unaware that the PC version was different. For that reason, I haven't sunk too much time into this version. It's still just as good - if not probably better - but my nostalgia is wrapped up in the PS1 version. If anyone is really looking to scratch the Diablo itch with just a little bit of jank, but a lot of fun options for a classic, low-complexity fantasy romp? Definitely give Darkstone a try!

One of the best Diablo clones out there . It's a PC version, not the PSX one so mouse and keyboard only. Brings back ol' good memories from '97. IMPORTANT NOTE : It works great AFTER you fix the controls and graphic bugs (community comes to the rescue - links with fixes below). Controls fix https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2487256586 Graphic fix (OraEtLabora post) https://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_galactic_battlegrounds_saga/solution_for_directdraw_error_seriously_this_is_the_solution_you_can_stop_looking
