Come full circle

Torchlight is an action RPG game franchise that first appeared back in 2009. The series has made a name for itself all on its own, with its now-signature cel-shaded game and character designs, steampunk aesthetics, and fun and accessible gameplay. Out of its three mainline releases, Torchlight II remains the favorite among gamers; hence, Torchlight: Infinite will follow its story arc.

In this game, the world relies solely on Ember as its main power source for machinery and magic applications. However, hidden behind the seeming prosperity looms a dark corruption slowly spreading. You are part of an elite task force called Torchlight, and it is your duty to stop this threat before it's too late. You will get to choose from four character classes for the battle ahead.

In addition, there are a total of 24 skill trees, with over 230 skills and abilities spanning across them to help you create a playstyle of your own. However, players can have trouble navigating the various menus at first due to the confusing user interface. You can also run into difficulties scouring the large selection of items due to the same issue.

Rising from the embers

The Torchlight series has had a tough time rediscovering the magic that made Torchlight II great, but it's getting another chance with Torchlight: Infinite. While it's too soon to tell, the trailer and early sneak peek of the gameplay point to good signs. However, players might find it challenging to navigate through the different menus initially because of the perplexing user interface.
