Sanctuary goes to Aiur

While the rest of this post is mainly geared towards Diablo in SC2, I just wanted to point you all out to the Torchlight XBLA review I wrote for a friend's website. If anyone is interested in reading about how the game functioned (in regards to controller layout), go check it out. Back to the subject at hand, Diablo has made quite a few appearances in SC2, more than one may have imagined. Aside from the default easter eggs Blizzard has added to the game, a few users have been hard at work on their own SC2-Diablo projects as seen below...


Diabolical Hero Siege by Skittles

Diabolical is a hero siege highly based off of Diablo 3 classes, spells, and creeps. But at the same time it will also show some originality and changes, bending it towards Skittles' will and creativity. One thing, that both games probably have in common, but one would not expect to really see in Starcraft 2, is environment interaction. While there most likely wont be something towards a destructive environment used to slay your enemies, there will be units climbing walls and jumping onto the Lanes, as well as other introductory methods. The will also feature many units with special interactions, such as a boomer would blow himself up in L4D. But, at the same time, he wishes to stay away from things like the Smoker in L4D that makes Co-Op almost mandatory. Not to say a hero siege isn't partially Co-Op...



Diablo: The Curse of Tristram RPG by egodbout

This is one of the very few actual Diablo Maps i've seen on SC2. It isn't a recreation of D1 or D2, but it's a combination of the two. You play as the Diablo II classes (minus the Druid) through the town of Tristram. The first quest brings us to the very famous Tristram Cathedral, just as we did in Diablo I. The map includes the D2 party system, drop system, highlighting of loot on the ground similar to D2, and much more. I recommend checking out the video.



Diablo 3 UI by Tehwildcard

This isn't really a map per se, I just thought it was really cool. TWC went ahead and recreated the D3 UI in SC2, with working globes and spells, etc. Check out the video below.



Miscellaneous

Here's just some random stuff that was found within SC2 in regards to Diablo that I thought would be worth sharing...
