Original Devil was developed by Blizzard North and released in January 1997 for PC. Its single dungeons, evil monsters, terrifying city, and catacombs full of loot changed the action RPG genre forever. Today, the OG Devil may seem a bit tiny and elementary compared to the wild open-world adventure we find in 2023 Diablo 4. But Devil an atmosphere that none of its sequels have matched, and now you can enjoy the classic ARPG for free in your browser on your phone or computer.

As he noticed Computer gamer, a up-to-date website has appeared which allows you to play the shareware version of the original Devil in your browser.

Remember that if you do not have Devil and upload the file “DIABDAT.MPQ”, you will not have access to everything that is in the retail version. However, the shareware version Devil lets you take on the role of a warrior who can’t talk to NPCs, but can kill demons and loot weapons in the dungeons beneath the church in Tristram.

During my tests, this browser based port Devil plays really well. I had no problems exploring gloomy corridors and killing zombies and skeletons. Just throw away your ancient Devil Save the DIABDAT.MPQ file to a service like Google Drive or a USB stick, and you’ll be able to play Blizzard’s iconic ARPG anywhere you have an internet connection.

In fact, you can play Devil right now on the device you’re currently using instead of working or reading the last sentence of this blog.
