Torchlight 3 Adventurers On Switch Will Receive An Exclusive Red Fairy Pet

I'm sorry but it looks ugly

Torchlight II is a lot of fun. I'm automatically interested in the next game in the series. Not in that... thing...though.

Is that the baby from "Eraserhead"?

Couch co-op and I will consider buying. Without this its a pass for me.

There are two types of people I'd like to show that monstrosity off to... My enemies and PC players. Is it crossplay?

After Navi yelling at me for hours, I’ve had my fair share of fairy followers.

@TG16_IS_BAE Hey Listen!

@Dm9982 OH GOD NOT AGAIN

@TG16_IS_BAE I set that ringtone for when my wife texts me. 🤣

@Dm9982 That’s kind of amazing actually!!

@TG16_IS_BAE Lol, she knows who does the sound, and why I made it hers. She called me a moblin numerous times for it....

@Dm9982 How wonderful, it’s even better that she is in on it.

Torchlight 2 is great, I started playing it on switch and while it closely resembles Diablo 3s gameplay that isn't such a bad thing. It feels distinctively less serious and gritty. Will be picking this up for sure.

Torchlight III on PC is a disaster and got ripped apart in the reviews. It´s nothing to the old Torchlight I and II games.
No suprise, since it´s Perfect World Entertainment.

Avoid at all cost.

For me there would be more incentive to buy Torchlight 3 if that... Thing... didn't exist. Wew.

TL3 is being updated constantly so it's a bit trite to refer to it as though in a static form of development. Remains to be seen how it will come through for us, but fingers crossed it will have some polish.

@Jeronan My understanding is it's still in beta / early access. Is that no longer the case? Is there something specific about its mechanics that makes it significantly worse than the first two?

Played most of T1 on PC, and T2 on Switch (and both very well received), so I'm curious what the changes are that ruined T3.

The main protagonist with the mustache reminds me of Man-At-Arms from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

@OptometristLime True, though from what I've spent the last hour reading up upon, development is going in the wrong direction, and the game is incredibly... Shallow? For lack of a better term.

They pushed through an update the 12th of August that made relics a pick at char creation meaning you can't swap them out for others if you want to change up your playstyle.

Apparently this made the game even more shallow since relics are (according to several comments) about 33% of your playstyle.

Meanwhile nearly the entire playerbase seems to want more customization and depth in every area, while the devs are trying hard to remove depth from the game... in every area.

a torchlight collection on cart would be cool

Surely that was created at the press of a button using some pet creation app by the developers with the dials turned to ugly.

It is on early access on Steam and is meant to be pretty bad.

@shazbot It´s a rushed game. Changed scope several times during development. Was supposed to be an online MMO kind of game at first, then they scrapped the whole idea since gameplay was crap during alpha feedback.

Now they released it as Thorchlight 3, but it´s incredible simplistic, boring and barren.
Publishers these days they think they can get away with releasing half finished games under the guise of Early Access.
Fact is! They released it and ask full price for it. That´s retail! Period!

95% of these games that release under the guise of Early Access, stay that way forever and never come out of Early Access at all. Continue scamming people.

Thorchlight 3 got roasted on Steam release for being boring, with boring simplistic skill lines, boring gameplay and not much to do.
It would require a complete redesign from the ground up to turn this game around, which will of course never happen.

The fact is, that this is most likely the supposed planned mobile game of Torchlight, but then they just slapped the name Torchlight 3 on it and released it on PC. Which makes sense as to why this game feels so incredibly dumbed down from the first two games.

The Switch version will just be a straight port of the existing PC Early Access game. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don’t buy this game. It’s so bad.

Still need to get back into Torchlight II. What I played of it I liked.

This third iteration will be a good additions to the Switch eShop I imagine

I'm not familiar with the concept of "early access". Is it like a beta test which you pay for taking part in?

@Jeronan 6/10 from ign for an early access isn't exactly something to avoid like the plague.

I swear the video of this game showed only 3 player co-op but the wiki says it's up to 4 player co-op. Am I wrong and missed a character in the video? Is this game on switch less players

@georgesdandre no you get the full game when it comes out too. For example I bought wreckfest early access in 2012 for 30 bucks. When it came out so many years later it cost 60 so not only did I get all these cool interim builds to try out I got the final retail release. It's not always cheaper but it's not a ripoff like paying for beta.

Thank you! That makes sense. There is a degree of risk but it's more hedged than say a crowdfunder pledge since you get a working build for starters.

@Jeronan it's early access. We can assume by the time it gets to Switch it's going to be polished (hopefully, at least).

@doctorhino I've never seen the point on scoring an early access game... I guess they'll review it again whenever they launch it officially.

@the_beaver Yeah, but some games languish in early access for YEARS, or officially never leave (though rare).

@georgesdandre Basically, since some of the games do end up not ever coming out retail. You are supporting the development and can provide feedback to help the game improve. I guess it is somewhat of a risk which is why it is many times cheaper, haven't bought many games early access but the ones I did ended up coming out so maybe I got lucky.

Considering there is no Physical release of this game which it deserves I won't give it a hoot....
