Torchlight 3 vs torchlight 23/7/2023 Yeah, it’s one of those games that tries the whole “world with history of calamities suddenly forgets all about them and acts shocked when weird things happen again” plot nonsense. Likewise, itemization is varied with plenty of stats, but they’re simple and easy to understand. Each of the four classes has diverse skill trees with many viable builds, yet the system itself is forgiving. It’s the balance between those two that I feel Torchlight III nails, making a game that’s accessible but not brain-dead. Too complex, and it just feels watered down. There’s always a fine line for a game like that. While those looking for something lighter, a game to play in between more intense ones, will find just what they’ve been looking for. Again, hardcore players will be disappointed by what III offers. It delivers on what it’s intended to deliver at least. The meat of this game is the gameplay, and it delivers mostly. Intricate plots have never been this franchise’s specialty anyway. Not that this is a bad thing, as a game like this works best when it pushes gameplay first. I’m sure if you really, really care, there’s some kind of narrative here, but it’s probably best if you go in caring as much about it as the game does. ![]() Similarly, characters are little more than quest icons, where context is largely irrelevant. The Alchemist and Ordrak ( Torchlight‘s Not-Diablo) are involved via plot elements you don’t remember from the last game. ![]() Set about a hundred years after Torchlight II, the story is basically comprised of: bad guys are attacking and you have to stop them. Only technically though, as you’re likely to forget either exist very quickly. Technically, Torchlight III has a plot and characters that aren’t merchants. So the character creation is better than nothing…but not by much.
