Moreover, Novastraia is under threat of invasion one more time. If that doesn’t turn anyone off, I don’t know what will.It has been a long time since releasing Torchlight II and Ember Empire ramps down. According to the developer notes on the Torchlight III Steam page, there will be a wipe after it launches out of Early Access, meaning all of your progress during Early Access will be deleted and you will have to start anew with the 1.0 release. I would, however, recommend getting it after the game’s Early Access state. That said, there’s still hope for Torchlight III if you were a pretty big fan of the first two games in the series. As someone who played – and refunded – the game, what I honestly found infuriating were the constant crashes and overall poor optimization, in addition to the overall bugginess, especially with such a multiplayer-focused experience. However, the game’s initial Early Access release left much to be desired it’s currently sitting on a Mixed rating on Steam, with a lot of players complaining about the game’s supposed ‘mobile game’ leanings and the outdated and repetitive gameplay design. Torchlight III was initially announced to much fanfare, mostly due to the fact that it has been eight years since Torchlight II. The Torchlight games are also a lot more casual-friendly, making them a great starting point for those who want to get into dungeon crawling.
The first two Torchlight games are a landmark for dungeon crawlers, mostly due to their rather colorful and cartoony art styles, which was a departure from Diablo and others inspired by it. The titles are best-known for their high-paced and action-packed take on dungeon crawling, taking advantage of its hack and slash system to bring its signature gameplay mechanics to another level. Torchlight III is the latest game in the hit Torchlight series, originally developed by Runic Games.
