![]() ![]() It’s a repetitive cycle that can get boring fast when playing for long periods of time. There isn’t anything noticeably different in the dungeon crawling compared to other ARPGs. Torchlight III’s core gameplay revolves around dungeon crawling where you grab the valuables, slay the monster hordes, and defeat the bosses. ![]() One playthrough isn’t sufficient to explore all of the useable skills in the game, heightening the game’s replay value. It would have been nice if these skills changed between classes, but they’re still a lot to dig into. The relic subclass system is a global subset of skills you can add on to any class, further expanding the character’s skills. Each class has its own set of dedicated skills. It can help to a certain degree, but you’ll find yourself using skills over the choice of weapon in most situations. The classes in this game may not cater to everyone’s preference, but they’re still capable of utilizing various weapons during their journey. The Dusk Mage covers the popular spellcaster class for the game while Sharpshooter adds another ranged fighter, this time specializing in physical weapons rather than flashy magic. The Forged is a strange class where you play as a literal robot the vessel may not be to everyone’s liking, but what it’s capable of is on the level of a mechanical monster. The Railmaster is a class popular with players craving melee combat and has a unique choice of pet catering to its name. Railmaster, Forged, Dusk Mage, and Sharpshooter are the four classes you can choose from in Torchlight III. You do have the option of zooming in for a clearer view of your character and any surrounding enemies, but it sacrifices the view of the area around you. Character models are tiny in the game’s overworld, so the importance of their appearance might be minimal. The options aren’t plentiful, as that’s the extent of the customization offered in the game. You’re able to change a character’s display name, face, skin tone, and hair color. Torchlight III is a game that you can create multiple character profiles in. Some of these designs may not fit everyone’s taste, and the unique classes offered may further limit these options. Even though you’re able to change a character’s appearance, you won’t get far with trying to make them look different than their default design. You’re provided with the choice between four classes. Character CreationĬharacter customization in the game is limited. Anyone with a passion for decorating will absolutely love its addition. It’s optional for those who want to distract themselves from the core gameplay, but isn’t pushed onto the players who do not care for it. When you’re not crushing the skulls of your enemies, you can choose to style your Fort with the many decorations the game provides. The addition of Forts has spiced up the series, allowing you to have your very own designable base. Newcomers choosing the third entry point will suffer from the same lack of newbie user-friendliness the series is known for. The addition of a new relic subclass expands the number of skills at your disposal more of these skills can be utilized during combat than before. The stat investment mechanic has been dropped and now uses a basic skill point distribution system. Torchlight III returns with the dungeon crawling hack, slash, and loot gameplay fans of the series know and love, but not without the sacrifice of a key component from previous titles. The cutscenes aren’t memorable either, mostly consisting of still images accompanied by hit voice acting. There’s not much more to it, other than listening to the marvelous voices as you progress through the various areas in the game. The story is told in three acts with cutscenes that display the evildoers’ objectives, revving you up to take them down. It’s not difficult to tell that the game focuses more on its gameplay. Similar to previous games of the series, Torchlight III’s story gives easily ignorable purpose to the dungeon crawling, hack n slash gameplay. With the Ember Empire in decline, Novastraia is once again under the threat of invasion and it’s up to you to defend against the Netherim and its allies. StoryĪ century has passed after the events of Torchlight II. Some of these changes included an ACT structure for its story, an Online or Offline mode, the removal of in-game microtransactions, and a premium price tag on the game. ![]() Previously known as Torchlight Frontiers, the game was given a new name and drastic changes were made to make it feel like a true sequel to previous games in the series. Torchlight III marks the third installment of the series. ![]()
