Torchlight III comfortable sits in the middle of the pack in this regard. It doesn’t help affairs that ARPGs like Path of Exile are capable of melting the average gamer’s brain due to the sheer volume and density of systems within, so recent ARPGs have tried to find a middle-ground that offers up greater complexity than Diablo 3 without going as in-depth as Path. It’s still the same old isometric view with a bar full of skills and a whole lot of clicking. ARPGs haven’t evolved too dramatically since 2012, despite Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile having done quite a bit to shake things up. That sensation isn’t purely on Torchlight III. But, I still couldn’t shake the feeling of having done all this before. Notable additions are the customizable player Forts, dedicated online multiplayer with a shared hub, and the Relics that offer up a choice of five different subclasses to utilize. There are substantial changes to be found here, so it’s not like Torchlight III is a direct clone of the previous games. I’ve enjoyed my time with Torchlight III, but I couldn’t quite shake a lingering sense of deja vu as I played it. The dream of a massive open-world full of adventurers killing enemies together for mountains of loot died, and in its place rose a game that bears an uncanny resemblance to its forbearers. The game became more linear, all the microtransactions were scrapped, and the game went from a free-to-play title to a premium one. So, despite the new studio, Torchlight III was developed by people who know the franchise well.Īfter a lengthy alpha in 2019, Schaefer announced Torchlight Frontiers (the MMO) would become Torchlight III. If you read that last sentence and had to pause for a second I understand: Runic Games – developers of the first Torchlight games – are no more, yet several former Runic and Blizzard North employees made the jump to Schafer’s newly minted Echtra Games. Torchlight III didn’t start life as a direct sequel to Torchlight II, but as the long-planned MMO Echtra Game’s founder Max Schaefer has been trying to get off the ground since the first Torchlight. Torchlight III: third verse much like the first. Torchlight III is a good game in its own right, but it can’t quite escape from underneath Torchlight II’s shadow. On the other, well, it’s a bit too similar to its predecessor, which wasn’t exactly pushing boundaries back in 2012. On the one hand it’s a delightful ARPG romp within a colorful world with fun skill and gear synergies to play with. Pets Are BackFight your way to fame and glory with your loyal companion!
