Given that the team is comprised of ex-Blizzard developers (specifically, heads who worked on StarCraft and battle.net), it should come as no surprise that the game is heavily influenced by Diablo. One half of it is, anyway. The WarCraft font that the client currently uses doesn't help, either. In any case, the cooperative modes play just like you would expect a 3D Diablo would; it's fast, it's loose, and you'll get your ass handed to you, if you aren't mindful of what your teammates are doing. One of the cooler elements is how you can instantly teleport to a civilized area (called an outpost) if your friends happen to be gathered there. No walking involved. Some cool, subtle touches were added to the multiplayer game, but for any info on those, you'll have to wait for our preview, in the not-too-distant future. But rest assured: it's looking hot.
