actually you can play only one class , nothing force you to MUIST choose another ..... just don't choose second and put all points in just one class..... I player solo amazon D2 class alone with no second and get to lvl 91 complete game ..... now i Combined sorceress D2 with soldier GD classes :-) and get to lvl98 atm .... its fun ... mode is funtastic :-D
@@vasiliysmirnov3922 no , I didn't sorry .... But it is great mode . Unfortunately if you dont have GD and expansions it cost you some money . But GD as game also worth it . I didn' played GD since 2016. and now I went back just because this mode . GD as a game in this 4 years I didn't played improved a lot too .... In this mode you can play solo any GD or D2 class and also any possible combination of 2 ( 9 from GD and 7 from D2 in any combo ) ... that is like million of different characters you can make :-D ... only complain I can find is very big difference between normal bosses and game and endgame ubers ... I'm lvl98 now and I pretty much oneshot everything and kill diablo and Ball in like 5-10 sec ... But for some ubers I need like 20min :-O and some I still can't survive ....
@@caltagos I didn't play druid but all skills for D2 classes are there , so I think it should be . However, visually characters from D2 don't look similar to D2 originals , they look like GD characters . So Im not sure if Druid can visually look like bear or wolf .. I think in GD there is nothing similar to shapeshifting character ( I didn't played all so not 100% sure ) ... There is Shaman in GD , that should be closest to D2 Druid but I didn't played him so I'm not familiar ..... I play ranged or wizard classes most of the time .... Shaman / Druid combo should be interesting I guess
@@fl00d69 That's really the big explanation of today. A lot of things are by name only, and people are fooled by it repeatedly. The label says "strawberry jam", but the jar contains marmalade - and that's how you can make strawberry jam taste like marmalade for a majority of people.
Because they love the game. Blizzard loves money. But don't realize that giving fans what they want is what will bring the money. It's what happens when you bring "suits" into gaming.
Because shareholders and corporate people make Blizzard's games nowadays, they make a game with maximum potential profits, according to graphs and data, mtx everywhere, not really trying to make the best/most fun games possible. The mod, however is made by passionate fans of the game that are trying to make something fun.
Definitely recommend getting the other DLC for this game. Support the devs and get a huge amount of new content, as well. GD is my favorite Diablo replacement game.
Dude, get DLCs even if this mod gets nuked from orbit. You are missing on a lot, A LOT, of content. Seriously, it might be the best purchase (guaranteed best GAME purchase) you make this year.
Glad you had the time to get to this mod, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Bang on description of the integration of the two games. One of the best D2 mods out there.
I've never commented on your videos, to my knowledge, but had to here. I played the D2 beta, then bought D2, then bought L.O.D. Over 22 years, I've beaten the game(s) countless times, collected every set, made Baal runs until I fell asleep at my desk(s) too many times to admit. I even was the wealthiest player on Battlenet East for a very long time, due to "rust storms", because I never duped a thing, for every SOJ, high rune, made Enigmas etc.was the real thing. For the first time in a long time, this mod has my attention. I may purchase the game, mods, just to get a shot at those class combos. The idea of a Assassin/Pally combo is too sweet to pass up. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Rhyker. Checked it out and really enjoying it right now. The value of Grim Dawn was already great but but now it's through the roof. This adds a whole new, awesome game for free. The guys behind this are heroes in my eyes.
"Grim Dawn fans and Diablo II fans," Seriously, if you're a Diablo II fan and NOT a Grim Dawn fan, you've missed the boat. Grim Dawn is one of the better of the modern Diablo II clones IMO.
To be honest, there's quite a bit about Grim Dawn (base) I didn't like. I loved so much about it, but I could never find myself finishing it because I just couldn't make any build feel that "fun" to play, to me. Modded Grim Dawn, however? Fantastic. Grim Dawn Reborn made me love the game SO MUCH more. Skills just felt a lot more fun to use, which made the mass of the gameplay feel more fun to play. To be fair, the same could be said about D2 by many. There's a reason Median's as popular as it is. Moral of the story: Try mods, people. If you don't like Grim Dawn now, you very well might afterwards.
I played in 2016 some and also it didn't stick , so I moved on and didn't touch it for 4 years ...... I installed expansions and this mode now in 2020 and it is waaaay better now .... Not only D2 mode , the grim dawn game is now much better .
Crazy how a few buddies can make a amazing diablo 2 mod off a whole other game yet blizzard with over a thousand employees getting a fat chunk of funding towards a game cant seem to get it
Its because when a company becomes a mega corporation it gets too bloated and too many people who have nothing to do with the games themselves get involved. This makes it impossible to allow the proper game developers create their passion and present it to their equally passionate fans. In other words the suits get in the way because they are trying to capitalize on the opportunity as they see it, but in reality they dont even know why its so popular and generally ruin the soul these companies have...
It's the difference between a group of people who are passionate for something and are not thinking about money at all versus people at a company whose main concern and purpose is profit.
Also for those of you who want a more pure D2 experience the mod author has plans with the 1.0 version of the mod to offer a version of Reign of Terror that removes all Grim Dawn related content and is completely focused on D2 content. Although even if you're on the fence about the Grim Dawn stuff being in there, it is really fun and the two games meld together very well as Grim Dawn is closer to Diablo 2 in terms of game play anyhow.
fuck path of exile. to convoluted and F2P games suck d2 wasa great and it costed me 10 bucks from the discount bin with the expansion almost 20 years ago thats like 1 stash tab in poe ?
I can't believe I never stumbled across this until now. I absolutely love that someone did this! Over 300 hrs in GD and probably thousand of hours in D2 (no clue since I started playing almost 20 years ago when hours weren't trackable).
I came to check this sick mod video out. Had it running audio only and thought it was Chris Hardwick explaining. You have one sick voice my friend. Keep up the great content
This mod looks absolutely amazing. As a huge D2 fan with countless hours put into that game I can say the developers of this mod did an amazing job with it. I have yet to further to put it through its paces. Also with this mod for those who play Grim Dawn with a controller can now play D2 with a controller thanks to the mod being built on the Grim Dawn engine. Getting stealth might be a tad more difficult since you have to sort through the GD items as well.
All the talk about re-creating Diablo 2....got me reloading it into my laptop today with the expansion pack! Amazing to me I'd forgotten how much harder it was than diablo 3 to play! Loving the challenge! 😉 Thanks for the inspiration!
This combination of GD systems with the D2 layers on top, seems to offer a super deep customization option. I would even say this might offer the superior option to a full D2 remaster, unless they opened up a ton of extras and improved the resolution to 4k/ 120fps. Thanks for the info Rhykker!
HOLY SHIT I freaking loving it! I am 12 years old again, 17 hours into this mode, no sleep, no eat ... So please if this is a dream do not weak me up! I repeat DO NO WEAK me up .... I am taking blue pill for this and you can milk me as a battery! These guys should make a collector's edition for this mod so I can add it to my collection! i.imgur.com/VLsE2gC.jpg Thank you all who create this mod, thank you all who create Grim Dawn and thank you Rhykker to show me this mod and take my soul to Heaven (or Hell or Sanctuary I should say ^____^)
A few years ago (just before the release of Diablo 3) I worked on a mod for the Titan Quest engine (the former incarnation of the Grim Dawn engine), had edited over 17K database entries to cover the variants of creatures in the original Diablo, had mapped the town and various levels under the Cathedral etc...a pity it went no where (the largest project I managed to do considering I have ADHD!). This looks interesting, I'll wait until there's a Grim Dawn sale on (which I helped fund too pre-Kickstarter times).
You would think Blizztard would wake TF up and pay attention, wouldn't you? Hopefully (a distant, very small hope), D4 will be somehing resembling D2 in look, feel and quality, but I'm not holding my breath. Another Jay Wilson is no doubt just lurking in the Blizz hierarchy, waiting to pounce on a key decision-maker exec position, waiting to f#$K up the legacy, _sigh_ ...
Thank you for this video. Never would have known this existed... well... at least not at this time. I love having a Diablo 2 "remastered" option. And am currently loving the mod. And thank you for your work within not only the Diablo community, but the gaming community at large. Love your videos, and always look forward to the next. Keep it up! You do amazing work!
2:55 I have to pause the video right now. I'm getting the mod. Edit : Alright it's downloading, I can finish the video now. I'm totally going to play a Barb + Sorc, going Frenzy + Fire Enchant or somedumb like that Edit #2 : It's amazing. I would definitely not recommand going Veteran / Normal+, unless you are like me and love to suffer for no good reason (Or you're just looking for a challenge..) For a first toon, I'd suggest D2 Sorc+ almost ANY other class, but focus on your first class until level 30-40 or something. Get one class going instead of trying to run 2 weak classes. (Like you'd do for most character in GD i guess..)
Fans are better than AAA because they actually know the community and don't look at some graph made by a ninny that uses adware to get customer preferences
@@justincorsaro8182 but I want Diablo Immortal. Used to play D2 and D3. Don't have the PC to play D3 anymore and not enough time to really sink into D2. DI is perfect for people like me.
Whether it is open or more subtle in the game mechanics, developers stoop to doing it. And I can get a computer put together plus a monitor that cost less than a brand new phone and will run d3 if you can manage to put it together
I love Grim Dawn and I have already played this mod. It is amazing just how much effort is put into this mod! Kudos! I haven't played original Diablo 2 and dated graphics and UI prevent me from getting actual copy, but it feels so nice and so smooth to play it in more modern engine such as the one Grim Dawn has. Not to mention that Grim Dawn itself can run on a potato grade PC.
Oh no. Fuck the copy, torrent it. Nothing beats the original Diablo 2, it has such a dark gothic vibe and environment. Graphics are still good for the the type of game it is.
I just started this last night, Assassin is amazing under their mod. The first skill throws out a mini-Nuke, and Shock Web throws out a massive set of lightning caltrops / bombs. Charged Sentry costs way too much without potion chugging, but it still works amazingly.
Im glad this is finally getting some recognition from some of the bigger youtubers. But at the same time it does worry me since its more likely that the modders might get some letters from blizz.
This mod is not everyone's cup of tea. It is difficult and if you don't gear up well and keep an eye on your underleveled items, you will underperform and be slow to kill / progress. Excellent modernization of Diablo 2, some areas and content are so well reimagined that you will be amazed.
Well, I only finished Act II so far but I was quite disappointed to learn, that there's only one Tomb of Tal Rasha in the Canyon of the Magi. I love storming through all seven of them and was looking forward to clear them in RoT as well. Unfortunately that was not the case... :'(
@@manofharlech5775 I am a huge Diablo fan. I played thousands of hours in Diablo 2, i have hundreds in Grim Dawn. Running the tombs in D2 was the biggest pain in the ass for me whenever i decided to make a new character, so i can't relate lol. It's just so damn boring.
so ... when you see that you're slow to level, kill and progress just level up your items its is super easy to craft items and add them to your gear for more resists and more damage you can always buy more gear or just grind an area a few items to find better gear -- the exact same thing you'd do in D2
@@manofharlech5775 It's because such randomization is not possible in GD's engine. You will always find the Summoner in the same location in the Arcane Sanctuary.
Yoooo. This mod is fucking dope. Love Grim Dawn and I love what mods fans make and I love what the game devs do to the game. If Blizzard wasn't paired with Activision, Blizzard would love these Grim Dawn devs on their team.
@@rosez7360 That joke went a bit over your head, didn't it? I started playing D2 and LoD when I was like 12 or 14 or something, I'm 28 now. Played it for years and years and years. Also, the fact you don't know, that there is a cow level in D3 is kinda funny. You can get to it by putting a Bovine Bardiche (legendary Polearm) into the Horadric Cube and transmuting it. Because you made some random ass assumption about me, I'll be making one about you, if you don't mind: You are probably either an old fart who used to play video games back in the day or you are roughly my age (+/- 5 years) and think you are special, because you only play games released before 2005. The older they are, the better they are automatically. Doesn't matter, if a game might suck. The E.T game is old as hell, so it must be genius. This leads to you being unable to enjoy any recent ganes, no matter how good they are and if a game looks good (as in, has good graphics), it is automatically trash. You know, one of THOSE people. Of course, my assumptions were over-exaggerated to make a point, but do you see how much of an asshole I look like by talking all this nonsense and assuming all this BS about you, without knowing you? Yeah. Exactly. Have a nice day. Stay safe. Don't forget to love each other.
I agree to you in totality. I don't know number of times I played original D2 but playing it again as mod in grim dawn is all together new experience. Thanks grim dawn management.
Thanks to letting me know of this mod, i'm a bif fan of Diablo series, and i really enjoyed Grim Dawn! So the mix of the 2, i think i will lose my social life again XD
Rhykker my mans, my dooood, my boiiiii! Lost Ark just officially got a Wester NA/EU Publisher with it being no other than Amazongames. PLEASE cover this! I'M waiting for this game since the very very first 19mins korean trailer like 5-7? years ago i dont even know how long it has been. I have never had such high hope and were in such desperate need of a new mmorpg and i think as shown my wolcen and classic etc. everyone does. Please cover this game as much as possible, it rly need huge attention in the west i want the community to be rly big and for it to take place next to the big current 5 mmorpg, with them beeing WoW, Gw2, FFXIV, BDO and ESO. I want Lost Ark to sit right there with them. I have so much love and hope for this game. Much love to you Rhykker, humble fan from germany
Meh, MMOs are a dime a dozen, and worth as much... at least in my opinion. I do seem to be quite outnumbered though.

I'm probably going to check this mod out. Been playing GD a lot again, just got to Loghorrean with a new oathkeeper/shaman build. I hope we get a remake of D2, but until then or whatever this mod sounds like fun.
I love it. Played it a few month back. Gotta play it again soon. Wanted to wait for my brother to get grim dawn so we can play together, just like d2 retail back in the days.
In their defense, Activision Blizzard makes almost same amount of money from mobile devices like from PC which is why they want to do mobile game. But as already mentioned many times. During blizzcon they should have reveal D4 and then Diablo mobile as a bonus.
Hey Rhykker, would love to see a video on Chronicon (build 1.0 was released on steam yesterday)! I bought it and loooooving it so far! It's like a lovechild of Diablo and PoE, but with pixel graphics : )
Think this shows that diablo2 should be remade not remastered. we dont want a starcraft remastered which just gave us a 4k version of a clunky ass game when were used to the fluid gameplay of sc2. For example if blizzard ever remasters diablo2 and i need to physically click on gold to pick it up..... no thanks im so over that
This is awesome! I haven't played GD but I've been dying to play D2 again because I played it as a kid and wasn't good. I actually want to play the original Diablo 1 because as a kid I couldn't even beat the butcher :'( Now I've become excellent at RPGs. They should remake number 1 as well. But I was big on D2. I assume this is all for PC only right? If this was PS4 accessable that would be amazing. Great video man. I'm glad I found this out. That's so awesome for GD to do this. This boosts GD's popularity as well as Diablo's. Much respect for this!! Especially since GD was most likely Diablo influenced. They literally put an entire game into their game. I didn't know that was even possible. That's like adding a GTA 5 expansion and it being the entire San Andreas game. This is really awesome. I love how you get excited during some of this. That really shows the joy! :D
I've been keeping an eye on (and playing on and off) since 0.2.0.0 when only the first 2 acts were available. Another thing is that they've reduced the number of floor some of the dungeons have so that you aren't forced to go through like 5 floors just to get to the quest objective.
I am Casual Grinder. Tried playing D3 Seasons after 10 years playing back n forth of D2 . I played POE seasons since 2016 -2019 . I Currently played BDO SEA 2018/ 2020 , i love the improvements of 2020 mmo rpg in Black desert, and the fact that getting Good Soft cap gears aint super hardcore or need brainless thousands of hours of grindings like before. Many people love the lifeskilling afk features to earn silvers, i Still prefer the old school way of grinding mobs for hours for RNG drops and money
lmao me too. After watching this video, I kind of regret dropping 40 bucks on D2R. This seems to have all of the best parts of D2, with the much better inventory management and perks of Grim Dawn. Sigh...

Edit #2 : It's amazing. I would definitely not recommand going Veteran / Normal+, unless you are like me and love to suffer for no good reason (Or you're just looking for a challenge..)
For a first toon, I'd suggest D2 Sorc+ almost ANY other class, but focus on your first class until level 30-40 or something. Get one class going instead of trying to run 2 weak classes. (Like you'd do for most character in GD i guess..)
Leave it up to the fans to deliver what we actually want, and not what Blizzard can deliver..
Fans are better than AAA because they actually know the community and don't look at some graph made by a ninny that uses adware to get customer preferences
For example just look at the wc3 remake launch, or WOW past 2018. Or how sc2 has gone stagnant. Or Diablo immortals.
@@justincorsaro8182 but I want Diablo Immortal. Used to play D2 and D3. Don't have the PC to play D3 anymore and not enough time to really sink into D2. DI is perfect for people like me.
Well, I'm sure your gonna have to deal with some crippled system in the game where monetization comes in.
Whether it is open or more subtle in the game mechanics, developers stoop to doing it. And I can get a computer put together plus a monitor that cost less than a brand new phone and will run d3 if you can manage to put it together
Loved D2 and love Grim Dawn. GD is like a spiritual successor of Diablo 2
thapsico26 haven’t played Grim Dawn, but heard very good things about it
@@SkylarTrahan If you liked Diablo or Diablo 2 even a little bit, you owe yourself to try Grim Dawn.
I have a few rhykker videos to catch up on, this one was included. In for a good time
I love Grim Dawn and I have already played this mod. It is amazing just how much effort is put into this mod! Kudos! I haven't played original Diablo 2 and dated graphics and UI prevent me from getting actual copy, but it feels so nice and so smooth to play it in more modern engine such as the one Grim Dawn has. Not to mention that Grim Dawn itself can run on a potato grade PC.
Oh no.
Fuck the copy, torrent it.
Nothing beats the original Diablo 2, it has such a dark gothic vibe and environment.
Graphics are still good for the the type of game it is.
Thanks for sharing this! Still working through the expansions of Grim Dawn, but now that I know this exists I’ll switch over once I beat the game.
I just started this last night, Assassin is amazing under their mod. The first skill throws out a mini-Nuke, and Shock Web throws out a massive set of lightning caltrops / bombs. Charged Sentry costs way too much without potion chugging, but it still works amazingly.
Rhykker you have sold me!!! Trying today!!!
Cross-over game. Grim Dawn meets Diablo actually makes sense.
Good vid Rhykker.
Im glad this is finally getting some recognition from some of the bigger youtubers. But at the same time it does worry me since its more likely that the modders might get some letters from blizz.
I've been playing this mod for a while now. It's amazing!! Played D2 for like 6 years, i'm really happy with this mod!
BTW Rhykker, you forgot to mention the best part of the Devotion tree in Grim Dawn: It lets you add procs to a lot of skills.
This mod is incredible ! Anyone who liked D2 will love this
no
As an old D2 player so far. This looks awesome. Blizzard should take some look at it. Thanks Rhykker
Hi.I am D2 Fanatic and I have to Thank You for this.Damn dude!
RoT kicks ass, i love how you can create hybrid characters, very cool
Had this mod for several months now. It's so sick.
WOW. Ill be getting this TODAY. This is amazing.
This mod is not everyone's cup of tea. It is difficult and if you don't gear up well and keep an eye on your underleveled items, you will underperform and be slow to kill / progress. Excellent modernization of Diablo 2, some areas and content are so well reimagined that you will be amazed.
Well, I only finished Act II so far but I was quite disappointed to learn, that there's only one Tomb of Tal Rasha in the Canyon of the Magi. I love storming through all seven of them and was looking forward to clear them in RoT as well. Unfortunately that was not the case... :'(
@@manofharlech5775 I am a huge Diablo fan. I played thousands of hours in Diablo 2, i have hundreds in Grim Dawn. Running the tombs in D2 was the biggest pain in the ass for me whenever i decided to make a new character, so i can't relate lol. It's just so damn boring.
so ... when you see that you're slow to level, kill and progress just level up your items
its is super easy to craft items and add them to your gear for more resists and more damage
you can always buy more gear
or just grind an area a few items to find better gear -- the exact same thing you'd do in D2
@@firstname4337 That's true and that's exactly why D2 is not everyone's cup of tea :)
@@manofharlech5775 It's because such randomization is not possible in GD's engine. You will always find the Summoner in the same location in the Arcane Sanctuary.
Yoooo. This mod is fucking dope. Love Grim Dawn and I love what mods fans make and I love what the game devs do to the game. If Blizzard wasn't paired with Activision, Blizzard would love these Grim Dawn devs on their team.
Diablo 2 fans: "I will make my own diablo 2 remastered with grim dawn and iron"
This thing is unbelievably incredible. Had to buy the GD expansions but totally worth it. The guys that made this must be DEDICATED!
He calls himself "Ram"
And it is a labour of love.
"And there's even ... a Cow Level." I like, that the people who made this mod even put stuff into it, that wasn't there in the original D2/LoD. :)
seems you are a d3 kiddo? ofc there was a cow level .. omg
@@rosez7360 there is no cow level
@@rosez7360 I haven't seen a /woosh so well deserved in my entire life.
@@rosez7360 That joke went a bit over your head, didn't it? I started playing D2 and LoD when I was like 12 or 14 or something, I'm 28 now. Played it for years and years and years. Also, the fact you don't know, that there is a cow level in D3 is kinda funny. You can get to it by putting a Bovine Bardiche (legendary Polearm) into the Horadric Cube and transmuting it.
Because you made some random ass assumption about me, I'll be making one about you, if you don't mind: You are probably either an old fart who used to play video games back in the day or you are roughly my age (+/- 5 years) and think you are special, because you only play games released before 2005. The older they are, the better they are automatically. Doesn't matter, if a game might suck. The E.T game is old as hell, so it must be genius. This leads to you being unable to enjoy any recent ganes, no matter how good they are and if a game looks good (as in, has good graphics), it is automatically trash. You know, one of THOSE people.
Of course, my assumptions were over-exaggerated to make a point, but do you see how much of an asshole I look like by talking all this nonsense and assuming all this BS about you, without knowing you? Yeah. Exactly.
Have a nice day. Stay safe. Don't forget to love each other.
WOW, HECK YEAH. Thanks brotha, gonna check this out
This mod is FANTASTIC!!! 100 times better then D3! Combining 2 classes was my dream since original D2. Must play for all diablo fans!
I agree to you in totality. I don't know number of times I played original D2 but playing it again as mod in grim dawn is all together new experience. Thanks grim dawn management.
D2 soundtrack was awesome, I hope they were able to add that.
Yes the musics are exactly the same and that's Amazing
This is kind of what the diablo 2 remaster should be but we all know Blizzard would fuck it up
I am so excited for this. I played diablo 2 for like 15 years.
People that makes this. Thank you so much! ❤
Grim Dawn is a gem. And the modding community is very active.
Thanks to letting me know of this mod, i'm a bif fan of Diablo series, and i really enjoyed Grim Dawn! So the mix of the 2, i think i will lose my social life again XD
I'm definitely enjoying this mod. I love GD, but when it gets old, this is really great.
3:15 - "Then I've got Holy SHIT" ))
Rhykker my mans, my dooood, my boiiiii!
Lost Ark just officially got a Wester NA/EU Publisher with it being no other than Amazongames. PLEASE cover this!
I'M waiting for this game since the very very first 19mins korean trailer like 5-7? years ago i dont even know how long it has been.
I have never had such high hope and were in such desperate need of a new mmorpg and i think as shown my wolcen and classic etc. everyone does.
Please cover this game as much as possible, it rly need huge attention in the west i want the community to be rly big and for it to take place next to the big current 5 mmorpg, with them beeing WoW, Gw2, FFXIV, BDO and ESO. I want Lost Ark to sit right there with them.
I have so much love and hope for this game.
Much love to you Rhykker, humble fan from germany
Meh, MMOs are a dime a dozen, and worth as much... at least in my opinion. I do seem to be quite outnumbered though.
I'm probably going to check this mod out. Been playing GD a lot again, just got to Loghorrean with a new oathkeeper/shaman build. I hope we get a remake of D2, but until then or whatever this mod sounds like fun.
seriously, ppl still hope for a modern version of d2 from blizz after reforged...
I love it. Played it a few month back. Gotta play it again soon. Wanted to wait for my brother to get grim dawn so we can play together, just like d2 retail back in the days.
This is going to get me playing Grim Dawn again :D
Imagine a dual dream tesladin with the sorceress lightning mastery
Stop imagining and do it :)
I might do that very build, after my Necro/ Druid pet army experiment!
People cry for a D2 remake from Blizzard. But as always. Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore. They give is a Diablo for mobile devices.
In their defense, Activision Blizzard makes almost same amount of money from mobile devices like from PC which is why they want to do mobile game. But as already mentioned many times. During blizzcon they should have reveal D4 and then Diablo mobile as a bonus.
HOLY SHIIIIELD!!! I can't believe this is out now!!! Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

Hey Rhykker, would love to see a video on Chronicon (build 1.0 was released on steam yesterday)! I bought it and loooooving it so far! It's like a lovechild of Diablo and PoE, but with pixel graphics : )
Phenomenal work. I'm amazed
love this mod. currently running a HC ww barb / hurricane druid
Bro this is sick!
Grim Dawn with D2 mod is like the ultimate super sayian fusion .
Once again, people make better job than Blizzard does...
i wont say that until we see an official d2 remake
@@chrisnelson2948 yeah but D2 remake could have been Done a lot sooner
Could have been done sooner, but no company is obliged to remake any game in their portfolio.
i enjoyed your videos good job
Think this shows that diablo2 should be remade not remastered. we dont want a starcraft remastered which just gave us a 4k version of a clunky ass game when were used to the fluid gameplay of sc2. For example if blizzard ever remasters diablo2 and i need to physically click on gold to pick it up..... no thanks im so over that
Can’t wait to try it .
Someone should count how many times Rhykker says Grimdawn! :D
Kudos to the mod creator(s). They're obviously old fans of D2.
Paladin+ Necromancer seems like the best combo
The Toxinator
Necromancer + Assassin.
Max out poison skills and max out "Envenom" from assassin to just melt stuff in acid.
It's a disturbingly good mod. I intend to play through it once I finish my D2 play through. The maps fantastic.
This is awesome! I haven't played GD but I've been dying to play D2 again because I played it as a kid and wasn't good. I actually want to play the original Diablo 1 because as a kid I couldn't even beat the butcher :'( Now I've become excellent at RPGs. They should remake number 1 as well. But I was big on D2. I assume this is all for PC only right? If this was PS4 accessable that would be amazing. Great video man. I'm glad I found this out. That's so awesome for GD to do this. This boosts GD's popularity as well as Diablo's. Much respect for this!! Especially since GD was most likely Diablo influenced. They literally put an entire game into their game. I didn't know that was even possible. That's like adding a GTA 5 expansion and it being the entire San Andreas game. This is really awesome. I love how you get excited during some of this. That really shows the joy! :D
This looks very good. Downloading now.
I like it and hats off to the devs 👏 but I will wait for the Remaster of D2, Thanks for the update @Rhykker 🖤
Don’t hold your breath
@@bradcallahan3546 am not dude but on the same token I could just boot up the PC and play the original with my good old CD Key 😂👌
Ah man it’s awesome!!! Got it running too
I've been keeping an eye on (and playing on and off) since 0.2.0.0 when only the first 2 acts were available. Another thing is that they've reduced the number of floor some of the dungeons have so that you aren't forced to go through like 5 floors just to get to the quest objective.
This looks amazing!
Ok, everything looks great, but most important question - is there a secret cow level?
Jokes aside, awesome work, great job
Yes there is!
I am Casual Grinder.
Tried playing D3 Seasons after 10 years playing back n forth of D2 . I played POE seasons since 2016 -2019 .
I Currently played BDO SEA 2018/ 2020 , i love the improvements of 2020 mmo rpg in Black desert, and the fact that getting Good Soft cap gears aint super hardcore or need brainless thousands of hours of grindings like before. Many people love the lifeskilling afk features to earn silvers, i Still prefer the old school way of grinding mobs for hours for RNG drops and money
how do aura's work in this? can you only use one? can you aura stack?
The best part of all of this, is they don't even ask for donations but rather you push the community.
Absolute legends.
Oh man, when you said you were 12 playing d2... I feel old now..
Well dang, my current goal on Path of Diablo is to beat Nightmare and see how I enjoyed that, but I tihnk this might be my next ARPG game :)
Oh my gooooooddddd woooowww. I can download now. Thanks!
*happy Brevik noises*
hey rhykker, can you talk about project diablo? It is said to be planned for release sometime in september.
Who made this?
Looks amazing.
Shit. If I knew about this, I wouldn't have even bothered with D2R... fml.
lmao me too. After watching this video, I kind of regret dropping 40 bucks on D2R. This seems to have all of the best parts of D2, with the much better inventory management and perks of Grim Dawn. Sigh...
@@persona-non-grata haha, me three! This mod is better than D2R, because you get the Grim Dawn systems as well
I was playing bunch of d2 mods lately, but this, I'ma give it a go for sure o.O Dual Class Diablo 2 Immersion, sign me in!
