Torchlight III arrives tomorrow, watch the final trailer (VIDEO)
As for Torchlight III’s story, it’s been over a hundred years since a group of heroes stopped the Dark Alchemist and locked the source of his dark power, Netherlord’s heart, deep inside Clockwork Core. However, the evil Netherimas attack Novastrai again and the Ember Empire is on the verge of collapse. It is time for a new generation of heroes to head to the dangerous and unexplored expanses of the world, find the source of the new invasion, and stop it before it is too late.
As action RPG fans know, Echtra studio is the successor to the disbanded Runic, a development team founded by creators of RPG classics such as Diablo, Fate, and Mythos. This team developed the latest Torchlight first as the MMO title Torchlight Frontiers, but in the meantime, they decided it was still better to make a more classic sequel.
As in the previous part, players will have four classes of heroes at their disposal, each with their own set of skills and abilities. The novelty is relics, powerful items that your hero chooses at the beginning of the adventure, and that further modifies his combat capabilities. Of course, during battles with endless hordes of opponents, tons of magical items await you, both those with randomly generated characteristics and those special with unique bonuses and specific synergies with other powerful items. Once again, your fighting pets are in action, whose abilities and equipment you are also developing and improving, and there is a traditional opportunity to use them as a courier who will jump to the city and sell unwanted items while you continue to fight in the dungeons. The novelty is that your character in this game will get his own fortress, a base of operations that you will also be able to develop and improve as you wish.
