The kind of gameplay that Diablo is known is probably a bad fit for mobile gaming. D1/D2 has a sizable backstory that sucked people into the hack-and-slash gameplay. The pseudorandom map generation made it very playable. The fact that the game sucked you in and made it hard to stop mashes well with the story. D3 kinda forgot about the backstory and the tone. A mobile phone would simply run out of battery maybe an hour into that kind of game play.
