Devilution is a reconstructed version of the original Diablo (1996) game source code, reverse-engineered from leaked symbol files and debug builds. It lets players run the classic game on modern hardware and gives modders a maintainable codebase to work from.
Use cases
- play Diablo 1 on modern hardware
- reconstruct the original Diablo source code
- create Diablo mods without memory injection
- run Diablo with bug fixes and improvements
- study how the original Diablo engine worked
When to choose
- you own a legitimate copy of diabdat.mpq and want to play Diablo 1 on modern systems
- you want to develop mods for Diablo 1 against readable source code
- you're interested in studying or preserving the original 1996 game engine
When to avoid
- you don't own an original copy of the Diablo 1 game assets
- you want a modern reimagining of Diablo rather than a faithful engine reconstruction
- you're looking for a general-purpose game engine
