About DevilutionX
DevilutionX is a port of Diablo and Hellfire. It aims to make the games simple to run and adds engine improvements, bug fixes, and optional quality-of-life features. To install, users download the latest release, extract it to a folder, copy the required MPQ files into the same folder, and run the devilutionx executable. The homepage also lists public multiplayer games with their difficulty and enabled options.
The directory lists the platform as web, but the homepage describes downloading and running an executable on supported operating systems. The homepage does not say where the MPQ files come from, so users should follow the linked MPQ instructions.
