![]() ![]() Each class has two skill trees they can put points into. The Railmaster is perhaps one of the most unique ARPG classes, as he lays down a train track that has an armed, fully automotive locomotive to assist him. The Forged is an automaton that uses its chest cannon to deal damage at a distance-but it can stand toe-to-toe in melee. The Dusk Mage is a ranged magic caster that specializes in either light or dark magic. The ranged Sharpshooter uses guns and bows to deal massive damage, and is the non-magical ranged class. Torchlight III has four classes to choose from. They can attack enemies, and provide debuffs to your enemies, or buffs to your character. Pets are more useful than just carriers of items and gear though. As expected in an ARPG there is lots of loot that drops, and returning to the series is the pet system which allows you to send your pet back to town to sell unwanted weapons and armor so your adventuring doesn’t have to stop. ![]() It has fast action that is satisfying and addictive, and can almost match itself with the intensity of Diablo III’s larger encounters. Developer Echtra Games has taken the reigns, and they seem to have figured out how to make a smooth, fast ARPG experience. ![]() Screenshot: Torchlight IIIĪnyone who has followed Torchlight III at all knows that it isn’t developed by the studio that did the first two. Basically, the Netherim are purple enemies with purple magic that are evil and are destroying the world, and for an ARPG, that’s really all the motivation you need to go out and get to questing and looting. In Torchlight III you play as a adventurer who is tasked with stopping the Netherim invasion. I managed to try each of the four available classes, but for the review, I mostly focused on the Forged class-since I only had time to dedicate to one, and that’s the class I enjoyed the most in the Early Access period. I played a good amount of action role-playing game Torchlight III for our preview. While developer Blizzard is arguably still the king of ARPGS, there have been some pretty fierce competitors-games like Path of Exile, Titan Quest, and the Torchlight series. I wasn’t much of a role-playing game fan until I was introduced to Diablo-and from there, I was forever hooked on the action role-playing game (ARPG) subgenre. I spent a lot of my younger years playing platformers, and then first person shooters. ![]()
