I played entirely in multiplayer mode so some of these items I touch on “might” not be concerns in a single-layer environment. Since there is no way to temporarily hide this it tends to block out quest dialogue. This causes its details dialogue to always pop-up. Welcome to our Quick Hit review of Torchlight III for the Nintendo Switch! That’s What He Said!Īnother personal annoyance is that when turning in quests, the reward dialog’s “cursor” always has focus on a reward item. Being that I’ve played on PC, and enjoy the Nintendo Switch, I was asked to do a comparison of the two versions.
#TORCHLIGHT 3 SWITCH REVIEW PC#
My fellow reviewers Xevrin (Kevin) and Chris Bowman have already done a thorough review of the Steam PC version. I’ve personally followed Torchlight III‘s development since it was announced and played the PC version since Closed Alpha. I use the term “or” because currently you create and play an avatar in either the connected multiplayer server OR in an unconnected single-player environment. In the end, Torchlight III ended up being a multiplayer or single-player game. These guys I got to know through my heavy support of our beloved Marvel Heroes Omega (R.I.P.). Towards the middle-end of the development cycle, Echtra Games even hired some ARPG experts in the form of ex-Gazillion developers. It was originally slated to be an MMO but deep into the development cycle, that decision was dialed back.
#TORCHLIGHT 3 SWITCH REVIEW SERIES#
The game started out as a successor in the Torchlight game franchise series as Torchlight Frontiers. You will go back to the beginning of that set and need to replay level 8 and so forth.Echtra Games‘ action RPG (ARPG) Torchlight III, though newly released, has had a bit of a torrid history. If your character dies in level 10, for example, you will lose progress made on levels 8, 9, and 10. For example, levels 8-11 are one group with a checkpoint after completing level 7 and the next checkpoint after completing 11. If you die in any level prior to reaching that checkpoint, you will lose your progress and return to either the beginning or the last checkpoint you reached. If you successfully defeat that boss, then you have reached a checkpoint. Every few levels you will have a boss fight level. However, you also get bonuses such as increased gold or your potion cooldown is reduced.

Or, perhaps every enemy can periodically go invisible. It could be that the entire level you have to play zoomed all the way in so you don’t have much visibility. For each level he gives you a choice of 3 random cards which with unique qualifiers for that dungeon. Start Over!įazeer’s Dun’djinn provides you a series of challenges with checkpoints. You can play a new class at a higher difficulty, customize your fort, try some enchanting, go after achievements, or see what Fazeer’s Dun’djinn has to offer you. Now, Torchlight 3 has continued to improve upon this theme. Mapworks allowed you to purchase and run dungeon maps with random modifiers attached to them and try to get some legendary loot. Here, there was the Mapworks system for endgame as well as New Game Plus. In the second game the developers kicked this up a notch. With the first, there was an endless dungeon with much better rewards, shrines everywhere, and the like. In fact, all of the Torchlight games have had some kind of endgame.

I realized in my tweets and talking with friends that many don’t know there is endgame. Now I’d like to talk to you about the endgame content Torchlight 3 has to offer. This newest entry into the series has not changed those feelings at all. As I said in that article, the Torchlight series has long been one of my absolute favorites. A few months ago, I wrote a First Impressions article on Torchlight 3.
