This is a much more linear experience than its predecessor, with side quests having more or less been jettisoned. Also at times this lore from the beacons doesn’t feel like it relates to what’s happening on screen and can be lost in the noise going on around you.

This approach receives recognition for reducing the number of cutscenes and not interrupting gameplay, but the downside is the game doesn’t have your full attention unless you choose to stop and listen. These story segments are voice acted monologues by a character during gameplay allowing you to continue. Cut scenes are few and far between, but scattered throughout each area are beacons which when activated provide a new story segment.

The story continues the series trend of being fairly peripheral to gameplay. Performance is stable most of the time but when battles swell, the frame rate plummets which is disappointing and a step back from Torchlight II. Characters and environments are now a lot more detailed but it comes at a cost to performance. Graphics are a lot more polished than Torchlight II. This is a nice, optional addition though your base can run out of space quickly. You can use workshops to build monuments and structures, with some monuments providing stat buffs. The first two worlds are a bit dreary and repetitive and unlike in a Mario game, you may not have a favourite level here with levels blending into one.Ī new addition to Torchlight III is your base which you can kit out with workshops and monuments and store any additional gear. Each level looks the same however, with little visually of note to differentiate the levels in each world. Similar to Torchlight II, each level has dungeon style sub-areas you can enter which usually have at least one boss waiting for you. The world of Torchlight III is split into 3 uniquely themed worlds with levels, towns and your base that you can select from the world map, much like in a Mario game, with the opportunity to travel back to previous locations. You also choose one of 5 elemental relics, with each offering a range of attacking and defensive skills to use in battle which can be learned through the accumulation of skills points. At the start of the game you choose between an archer, mage, robot or railmaster, each with their own playstyle. Torchlight III follows a similar blueprint, with the familiar loop of swarms of enemies to battle, lands to roam and loot to discover, in single player or online multiplayer. Based in San Francisco, developers Echtra Games were founded by Max Schaefer who has become a member of isometric action CRPG royalty as a co-creator of Diablo and the original Torchlight. Following its success now Torchlight III arrives a year later from new developers and returning publisher Perfect World. Last year’s Torchlight II was a resurrection of a cherished game from a now defunct developer, given a new lease of life on Switch by port experts Panic Button.
