A century after the events of Torchlight II, the Ember Empire is in decline and Novastraia faces another invasion. Torchlight III casts players as defenders against the Netherim and its allies, sending them into a dangerous frontier in search of adventure, fame, and glory. Its action-RPG premise ties exploration and combat to the fate of a world under threat.
Character building and loot are central to the journey. Players choose from four classes and five Relic subclasses, then find and customize gear to suit a hero’s particular build. Dungeons and dangerous foes provide the setting for collecting weapons and armor, while loyal pets can be equipped with gear and skills. The mix of hero customization and companion development gives progression several distinct angles.
The game supports solo play as well as multiplayer, including online co-op, so its wilderness adventure can be approached alone or with friends. Between expeditions, players can upgrade gear and renovate a personal fort, adding a home-building element alongside the combat and exploration.
