As such, your Sharpshooter class plays quite differently, depending on whether you’ve decided to freeze your enemies with the Coldheart relic or set the world ablaze with the Flaming Destroyer. Each class is further enhanced through the selection of a relic subclass – a special elemental object that adds an additional tree of abilities. Four amusing classes each offer something enticing, from the dark and light balancing of the Dusk Mage to the borderline silly Railmaster, who literally builds a railway track and hauls a train behind him throughout the adventure.
#Torchlight iii upgrade
In a mostly frictionless game, the one space Echtra has carved out depth is a rewarding character upgrade system. I was also frequently frustrated that large environmental objects occlude the view, which can sometimes just be annoying, but occasionally put your hero in a vulnerable spot. The playful tone and art direction are a pleasant departures from the dark and gory norms of the genre, even if some spaces feel too similar. The result is a colorful setting filled with flashing elemental blasts and endless gears. The visual world-building is more robust, capturing a fun aesthetic mixing classic fantasy with clockwork/steampunk aesthetics. The seamless nature of the action and leveling is just barely complex enough to demand your attention, making it a welcome fit for laid-back nights of escape, whether by yourself or with up to four friends working together.Įven as an enthusiast for gaming narrative, I skipped along the light storytelling of Torchlight III like a rock across water, vaguely capturing the gist of a tale set 100 years after the last game, with some bad guys from another dimension hoping to take over the world. The monsters are plentiful, the powers you wield are bombastic, and the unfolding battles fill the screen with colorful blasts and thunderous noise. Instead, Echtra has crafted a buoyant adventure that joyfully hops players from one environment to the next, with barely a hitch of story or quest-tracking needed. It doesn’t have the most grim or mature setting, nor does it have the most complicated fictional backdrop.
It’s not the biggest action/RPG on the market. Torchlight III knows what it is, and embraces that identity.
