Games like Diablo on Linux
4 of the 5 modern alternatives to Diablo (1996) run on Linux. One of them is free, and the cheapest paid option is Halls of Torment at € 6,66. 3 are made by independent developers.
Linux is unusually strong for classic gaming, because the open-source engine ports that keep old games alive were often written on it. Native builds are common for anything using a community engine, and most of the rest runs through Proton, which is the same technology that powers the Steam Deck.
