TORCHLIGHT 3 REVIEWS SERIES

The pacing issue is really exacerbated by the fact that the game will de-level your gear to match the level the zone is supposed to be. While enchanting was moved to an endgame feature I’m not really sure it’s enough to incentivize playing the next 40 levels without really getting anything new. The leveling curve still seems quite long and stretched out and the feeling is perpetuated by a complete lack of new abilities: you’ll have everything unlocked by level 20 after which you’re mostly just powering up individual skills and adding a few passives as you go. While the Forged is easily the lowest DPS out of all the classes I can’t really say Sharpshooter is a huge improvement in this regard. For instance my first attempt was at playing Forged and I found myself using the same ability to clear maps 90% of the time. Not gaining levels at a good pace means I’m not getting new abilities that keep things interesting often enough. Having played a number of ARPGs, as well as spending countless hours playing non-modded and modded Torchlight 2, sitting at over 10 hours of gameplay and not being at least halfway to a level cap of 60 doesn’t sit well with me. On the topic of DPS I really feel like Torchlight 3 suffers from a pacing problem at the moment. I’m currently playing a Sharpshooter with Blood Drinker and the self healing and bleed effects are a welcome boon to my DPS. I’ll definitely give Torchlight 3 the fact that having these additional skill trees to pick from adds interest to build potentials. For the most part relics cover different elements from the obvious Electrode (electricity) and Flaming Destroyer (fire) to less obvious Bane (poison) and Blood Drinker (leach type magic).

There are no class limitations on which relic can go with which class the player is free to pick whichever they want. The Relics are Bane, Coldheart, Flaming Destroyer, Electrode and Blood Drinker. In addition you pick a relic that adds a third skill tree to your class and unique abilities. There are four classes to pick from: Sharpshooter, Dusk Mage, Forged and Railmaster.

Torchlight 3 starts off the same as the previous series with you picking and designing your character and choosing your pet. However, as of right now, it really does feel like I’m playing a game that was supposed to be an MMO. As I said I’ve been playing for the last couple days and I’m coming at this review part one having not made it to the endgame yet so I do reserve the right to change my opinions down the line. A disappointment, to be sure, but I wasn’t about to shake my head at another Torchlight game. Torchlight Frontiers is no longer and it was announced it would be a successor to the first two beloved games in the series.

It was about ten minutes of coming to the conclusion that I couldn’t wait to play this game in beta.įast forward to now and true to the 2020 way of life - it was taken from us. The demo included playing the Forge class and poking around a specific level and fighting a boss. We loved the Torchlight series and the idea of an MMO world was just too much for us.

Called Torchlight Frontier back then, a Torchlight themed MMORPG, I can remember the palpable excitement of me and our former Editor in Chief Bill Murphy. The first time I actually got to play this version of Torchlight was back in 2016 at PAX Prime.
