## What it is
An open-source reimplementation of Diablo 2, built as an ARPG game engine written in Go that can run the original game using legally purchased assets. The project is being split into the Abyss Engine and the OpenDiablo 2 game project.

## Use cases

## When to avoid
- you want a finished, complete Diablo 2 replacement - the project is incomplete and in maintenance
- you don't own the original game assets, since none are shipped
- you need an actively developed engine - development moved to Abyss Engine
