Love Hate relationship
Sat Oct 15 2022 JustMyThoughts32Okay so I have played torchlight and torchlight 2 and I enjoyed them, as for this torchlight it's a love-hate relationship because I love the art style, the playstyle, the builds, and the characters but please add controller support and better tutorials because I've played to end game but still not sure on some of the mechanics of the game. I did show my support and bought the season pass but 15$ to 20$ for a season pass is quite steep I loved the game so much tho it was well worth it also please add more side quests and elements to the maps because they just seem a bit bland. I look forward to future updates and hope for controller support also please add some kind of multiplayer play say for like epic bosses but make it an option because I do love playing solo but at times it would have been fun to play with another player. I give 4 out of 5 because I know this is a new game that just came out, keep up the good work! As for the hate part, I hate that I got to end the game pretty quick because I didn't want the ride to the end and end gameplay is quite limited to playing since it has a like stamina feature please don't limit us to playing!
Long time RPG enthusiast
Mon Oct 17 2022 RussianButeDevs, you deserve a standing ovation! You released this game shortly after Diablo Immortal, which is hard to compete against, and simply put out a game far superior to immortal in every aspect! Thanks for keeping the genre alive!
Now I’ve played two separate characters. One’s level 79 and the other 65, so I’ve put some time into this game and will be playing this game for the foreseeable future. The skill system is very similar to Path of Exiles which is one of my favorites. Excellent job on that. The loot system is everything immortal lacked. You want to focus on elemental damage? Farm prefixes with Elemental. Raw damage? Again, prefixes that surround it. A balanced tank? Prefixes… outstanding job on the loot system.
End game could use some work, but we were given a full game that exceeded my expectations and for the people complaining this is P2W! I’m sorry, but this game is by far the best rpg ever released on mobile and is far from P2W. Play immortal for the true meaning of P2W. Again, thank you devs for the hard work and creating this masterpiece. You guys deserve the recognition. Ohh and avoid putting PvP into the game. That’s when the concept of P2W comes in.
Loving most of it so far
Wed Oct 26 2022 CeleryStalkRSo I’m level 30 (out of 80 I think) on 3 different characters. I really enjoy the gameplay, the looks, the story. I enjoy them a lot. That being said, let me talk more about the negatives (and realize that I still gave it 4 stars so these aren’t game ruining). First of all, a lot of stuff isn’t explained well so I’m having to internet research and really figure a lot of stuff out on my own. Like what stats or gear a character should be wearing. How some things work together. Etc. Really there needs to be more comprehensive explanations of things. Second, I don’t like how the only gear that effects your appearance is your weapon/shield unless you purchase total appearance costumes. Gear should change how you look. My final complaint is that (I’m playing in English) the language feels a bit clunky. I have 3 kids and play with sound off so I read the dialogue and it feels like it was written by a non English speaker. Not enough to ruin it, just feels weird to me. Other than those things, I really like it and plan to keep playing for sure.
Pretty good stuff
Wed May 31 2023 indigrowth478/10 the progression system feels really good and this feels very similar to the games on console with its taste of massive multiplayer in it too. I think the world could use more work for immersion as every conversation starts and ends quickly and I don’t know much if anything about any characters in the game. However the boss fights are engaging for what it’s worth and I’m eager to see what else could come from the main installment of story and quests in the game. From my understanding the events are pretty straightforward, I think you guys should try to be more liberal with them and try engaging in cross over events like other app games do. Even if you’re crossing with something like Bravery Default they have a legacy and have been a phone game for a while and could lead to stronger avenues and cross overs in the future. It would also make me feel like spending real money on the game if the events held a little more weight/sparkle if you know what I mean. It shouldn’t make us stronger but it could be a lot cooler.
Customizations & Multiplayer
Tue Nov 08 2022 Xro47Great game haven’t a played a mobile game this fun in a while however I just wish there were more customization to your character. I was thinking you should be able to see the armor pieces and gear you pick up instead of just having skins. There should be skins for head chest Legs and hands not just full outfits. Basically make it where each character can be unique. Also wouldn’t mine making it to where any character can be male or female instead certain characters being male and certain being female. Also more importantly can we get some type of pvp or raids, forgive me if they already in the game and I just haven’t got that far but if that’s not the case. We should have clans and clan wars and pvp or pve + pvp. Just a lot of multiplayer content. Other than that the game is great I would rate it 3.5 but I only see 3 and 4 so I’m going to give it a 4.
Hidden Gem
Fri Jun 02 2023 JayWilsonLoserForget D4. This game has a lot more to offer. If you have played PoE, then you can find many aspects of it in this game, only with stellar quality of life. The only Gacha in the game is the pets, and the ones that you get for FREE are actually extremely good. You can do all content easily wothout spending a dime, including STASH TABS. Yes you unlock stash tabs fairly easily in this game imo and for free as well. PoE is one if my favorite ARPG’s of all time, but to be honest, after all of the QoL that this game has, I’ve not played PoE in awhile because I’m too busy enjoying this one. The crafting in this game is also a lot more deterministic. It use to be kind of too easy to craft, but the new system they have in place is a lot better imo. If you don’t check out this free gameplay, then you are missing out on 100’s of hours of one of the best arpgs ever. I’ve played D2, D2R, D3, LE, PoE, D4 Beta, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, etc. This is probably one of the best I’ve played tbh. God Bless Brevik boys, and God Bless the USA.
Great ARPG Looter that is free!
Mon Oct 24 2022 RageaholicAFIf you like games like Path of Exile and Diablo 3 you will like this game. It is very similar to them, and also is very reminiscent of the borderland games in vibe and style. To boot it is also free to play and accessible on both mobile and computer
To address anyone that may be wondering how the monetization is - it’s of my objective opinion very fair. I’ve not felt the need to buy anything, and have not been overly prodded to buy something while playing, this is with me approaching end game on my first character (T7 and level 88ish). All pets I have, have been purchased with free currency and to be honest have not made a huge notable different in game play.
I will say I spent as good amount of money getting the cosemetics I wanted for my berserker (the costume specifically) as it’s on a chance system to get specific items which kind of bummed me out - would rather have paid 15 bucks the. Have to blow 50 to get through the entire “chance” system to get what I wanted but it is what it is, and this in no way impacts the game play. And the developers have to make money to keep giving us more in this game which I am happy to pay a bit in to get more!
All in all this game is great and I can’t recommend it enough!
If you took the time to read this far, thank you for giving my review a read!
No Controller, No Control
Sun Oct 16 2022 AxewielderxSadly, I like this game but have reached the point where I am fed up with one little thing. Well, it turned out not to be so little after all. The lack of controller support just kills this game or to put it more accurately gets you killed. Over and over again. My finger either slips or the iPad stops sensing my finger just long enough for that boss to kill me, while I cannot move.
Even Diablo Immortal, your direct competition and worse rated game of all time, has controller support. Even they could realize how important it would be for a game like this and the simple fact, people do not like dying in games due to circumstances beyond their control. In this game you have no real control, when it is really needed.
Thus, as much as I like the game, I will not be around long enough to support it because I am simply tired of dying due to a lack of control. If I ever find out you actually add controller support, I would come back and likely spend money. The real problem is, I probably will never find out. Good luck with your game!
Great game, idiots making reviews when it’s not out.
Thu Oct 13 2022 GarboJoeIgnore the reviews you see about not starting. People downloaded the game a day early, not realizing it wasn’t OUT till the next day. So of course you have idiots making 1 star reviews about it not working. You have idiots giving 1 star reviews because there isn’t controller setup port YET. Which they never said would be out YET. But it’s literally in progress. Then it’s DEFINITELY not pay to win. The game runs better with less lag and glitches than when Diablo Immortal came out. You don’t have stuff constantly popping up saying “buy this for 400x value NOW”… This game is definitely more of an RPG hack and slash. Great got honestly and touch controls feel great and love the talent and skill customization of this game. Feels great how you can change your character like playing POE almost.
Fun game, AWFUL customer service
Tue Oct 18 2022 FaulkenstromAvid player of ARPGs. Torchlight Infinite is fun for what it sets out to achieve. I won’t comment on the monetization model as it has already been discussed. I will note that I have spent money on the game.
What is awful however, is the customer service. After experiencing a bug that crashed my game, I can no longer load my character without the game crashing. I leveraged both the game’s ticket system and submitted a bug report on the game discord. Neither received appropriate responses. The ticket system told me to report it on discord or use the in-game customer service system. How could I use the in-game system if my character is inaccessible? There is literally no other way to reach out to the devs outside of reviewing or social media. I haven’t been able to play the game for nearly three days now.
The game is admittedly in open beta. I’m not faulting the development team for game bugs, but you should be having an open dialogue with your players on how to rectify issues.
