Yah, been playing it on my steamdeck, I forgot how hard the first diablo was, haven't played it since in was a kid. I got a warrior all the way to diablo, but couldn't kill him, character wasn't powerful enough. So i started a new game with my character and thought I'd train in nightmare, and come back to kill diablo in normal later. But then I read the game ends in each difficulty when you kill diablo and what ever loot you get, you can't pick up before the ending dialogue screens, and diablo isn't treated as much of a special character in regards to loot so.. I never went back to kill diablo, because what's the point?
Now I got all the way to level 13 in nightmare and stalled again because my character can't survive the balrogs, and isn't powerful enough. Usually when you got stuck in the original game, you could dupe gold or stat increasing potions or something to get your character past their slump, but they fixed the dupe bug in the devilutionx code. Now there's nothing really to help you out when stuck. Crazy thing is sometimes you have to restart because you've run out of gold for healing potions after trying and failing to clear a level.
I might be putting the game down for a bit. It was incredibly fun while I played though.
