I’m not a huge multiplayer guy, but I have to admit that Garri and I had a pretty good time running around the first few levels of Torchlight 3. Torchlight 3 Is Fun In Multiplayer – But Why The Separation? Slightly bummed out, I rolled a Blood Drinking Forged to jump into multiplayer with PSU Editor Garri Bagdararov, and found that I liked the robot even better than the train guy. It turns out that the two modes are completely separate – so my single-player character could not make the jump onto the multiplayer servers. ![]() I enjoyed the novelty of my little train following me around, firing grenades at the baddies.īut when I decided that I was ready to jump into multiplayer, my Railmaster couldn’t make the leap. I was shocked when I picked up a rifle and found that Torchlight 3 was perfectly okay with me equipping any old weapon I wanted – I wasn’t married to the hammer, and it was fun to experiment around. I spent a bit of time perusing my skill tree options and added a few fun abilities to my train. Launching myself into the first area, I had a pretty good time getting a handle on the controls. The entire experience could be made a lot less frustrating with a few changes. Levels don’t remember that you have been there before, which results in a lot of backtracking and repeating content. The minimap doesn’t show your destination until you get close – leading to a lot of aimless wandering. Torchlight 3 suffers from a lot of quality of life issues. I took a look at the Railmaster’s other skill trees, saw that they seemed somewhat fire-based, so I figured that the fire relic would be a good fit. The options are poison, ice, fire, electricity, and (deep inhale) blood drinker. On that run, I selected the game’s weirdo Railmaster class – simply because I had never seen anything like it in a game before (the other three classes are Sharpshooter – a ranged archer type, Dusk Mage – who specializes in balancing light and dark magic, and Forged – which is a fun steampunk robot guy).Īfter selecting a class, the player then gets to add a relic – which essentially adds a third, elemental skill tree to explore. The first was just to get a feel for how the game worked. I have played through the first couple of hours of Torchlight 3 several times. Basically, what you have here are a boss for the end of each act, then a big boss for the very end of the game. There is a story of sorts in Torchlight 3, involving these three and their “mother”. Though the game does very little to explain its concepts to new players, I have enough genre experience to figure it all out with minimal fuss. The first of my good experiences came in the game’s opening hours. Then I would hit some invisible line and the loot would suddenly improve, and I would have a good time again. I would have a good time for a while, then be bored for a bit. My experience with Torchlight 3 cycled like the tides. Torchlight 3 is current in early access on Steam Early Access.įor more news be sure to read next Xbox Series X Launch Confirmed For November and Cyberpunk 2077 Livestream Focuses On Life Paths Plus Weapons.The Opening Hours Of Torchlight 3 Are Pretty Good Those with early access will need to build characters again using the new system. This update is quite a big change, and also means previous characters and account have been reset. Those who have early access for Torchlight 3 will gain access to these items as a way to remember the “bygone era”. ![]() ![]() The update also brings mini-dungeons, and now the Reliquary is more of a decorative item. * 5 Relic skill trees, with active/passive skills, & energy! ⚡ ![]() The Relic Subclass update and wipe has arrived! This causes bleeding damage and let’s you exploit bleeding enemies by making them explode. Blood Drinker adds a sort of vampire subclass that let’s you use your enemies blood, to replenish your health. There are four relics in total which follow Fire, Cold, Poison and Electricity, and there is a brand new relic called the Blood Drinker. You can build a character supporting this third skill tree at the beginning of the game. These can be now chosen in the character creation screen, which will come with five active and five passive skills. This makes choosing a Relic carry more weight.
