DevilutionX

Currently I am playing Diablo 1 (yes the first one from 1996). It is probably a classic though. Had a lot oft fun playing it via Devilution[1], the open source reversed project. Works like a charm on Linux and has some decent improvements like play/run-speed, a shared storage for collected items at the woman in town and other useful tweaks. Did not find the Obsidian ring of the zodiac yet, but I'm trying pretty hard :-) 1: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

Diablo is the original "anti-souls" game. The slot machine mechanics, the lacking of significant strategic elements and sense of hollow progression have always been key factors for my dissatisfaction with it. That said, the beautiful / dreadful / horror vibe and simplicity of the first game to this day regularly pull me in – only to ultimately dissatisfy me greatly. Each time. To me there is just "no there there" - and that's probably the point? So I agree on many fronts with this article. Diablo could have been so much more but they turned it into a highly engineered form of drug that can potentially destroy you, with little to nothing to gain for it. Nicotine? For sure it's more gambling than gaming - again to me mostly timeless yet inherently toxic coating - down to the systems level. So in a way, it's the original "mobile game", the u

Not sure if this is exactly what you're describing but I noticed the open-source Diablo engine DevilitionX has Zerotier built in to allow online multiplayer sessions. https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/wiki/Multiplayer#... I thought it was interesting way for an open-source game to provide a way to find other players without relying on paid dedicated servers.

That's nice but it just pointed me to: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases Native Diablo 1/Hellfire for a lot of platforms. Probably much easier on your battery if you're playing on a laptop.

If you're fine with playing on Windows/Mac/Linux instead of in a browser, and if you know some C++, you could go ahead and implement those things in Diablo directly. There's a reverse-engineered codebase on GitHub that the browser version is based on: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX
