To succeed, the player(s) will have to clear every corner of every level, squeeze every bit of potential from their gear, use tricks and non-trivial tactics to avoid being cornered in a fight that is otherwise impossible to win. The core idea is that each level is supposed to be conquered with considerable effort.
Authors have removed or updated many prefix/suffix combos, some of which are even on par with uniques. Almost all unique items have been balanced with pros and cons. The developers have recently expanded the list of base items, loot tables, and drop rates available in the game and look forward to many more making an appearance in future patches. Random unique boss monsters will appear on each level, sometimes even several in the same area. Changes include alterations to the classes, most (if not all) monsters, items, and levels. The mod alters nearly every mechanic of the game, while (in general) following the similar plotline. This will make it a lot easier to make completely new features, like raising the resolution and making IP based multiplayer. Just like what OpenTTD did to transport Tycoon Deluxe, except it will not be GPLed. The developers are also working on The Hell 2, which is a project to rewrite the game code, and thereby make a new program that uses the same game data. It also raises the challenge considerably, gives much more variety ( monsters, items, spells, boss monsters, unique items, item-monster & environment colors), improves the overall difficulty balance of the game, improves the monster AI, introduces new character animations, increases the replay value, and gives full support for Multiplayer experience through a free program called Hamachi. First and foremost, it has concentrated on eliminating most of the initial bugs that Diablo I and Hellfire were originally released with.
The hallmark of The Hell is a very serious approach to development. I'll put it bluntly: not all Diablo veterans will be able to beat the game on Doom mode. It's an absolutely new & improved game under the old mask. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the game or by its visual similarity to Hellfire. By the moment I started creating The Hell, I had been playing Diablo: Hellfire for ten years, and this mod represents all that I ever wanted from this game. This is the developer's personal testimonial: "I have always loved this game for its original taste, dark atmosphere, cold steel and blood.
