Torchlight III Confirmed For Launch On Nintendo Switch Next Week

Was looking for a filler between D3 and D4... hell or even Diablo: Immortal. Looks like it’s still based on a f2p mobile designed platform. Being that it’s late on Switch I may pass.

And yet we still don’t have WoW. :,)

Skip this one, folks. Fans have been complaining a-plenty elsewhere. Mandatory online connection to play even solo, less content than the previous game from close to a decade ago, and rumblings of microtransactions being added... I could go on, but short version, this is absolutely not worth your time.

I liked number 2 though haven't gone the distance with it.

eShop common.....where's our Physical option???? Also it's starting to look like a WWW game....common don't do this...

Why is it so many multiplatform games always get delayed on switch? Doom eternal, Angry videogame nerd adventures 2, We only just recently got Ori and the will of the wisps and Ys origins.
The switch has been out a while now and they can't get these games on all platforms at the same time?

@GrantM3 Correct me if Im wrong but Diablo 4 wasnt announced on the switch, right?

@LEGEND_MARIOID Stick to nr.2. I have that one myself and played it a lot on PC also.

It's superior in every way. This game (TL3) is a dissaster! A complete borefest of a game and the Steam review section isn't mild to say the least.
Nothing can help this game anymore other than canceling the release and go back to the drawing board.
But that is of course not going to happen, since they already did that 2-3 times and still failed miserably to create an enjoyable game.
PWE is a joke of a company also, with a terrible track record when it comes to loot boxes, agressive micro transactions, etc.

I wouldn't touch this game with a 10 foot pole. Stay far away!

@SeantheDon29 lol I don't even play fps on consoles let alone a mmo

Torchlight III is priced at $39.99 USD, you say? That’s twice the price of Torchlight II... and from what I hear, T3 is not even half as good as its predecessor.

Half the quality, double the price. Hmm, okay, nothing to be concerned about there then! 😉

Had a great time with Torchlight 2, but judging from the comments here best to avoid this. Thanks for the heads up, $40 saved!

Not the original team, rampant user complaints on pc, it being a rebooted f2p title, and an insane $40 price tag? No thanks.

@Samasaurus Did you play TL2 on the Switch? It's on sale for $12, was thinking about getting it, but it looks like online co-op only, no couch? Wanted to play w/ my son.

@The_Pixel_King I think they are on the price doubling model, TL $9.99, TL2, $19.99, TL3, $39.99, TL4 will be $79.99.

@rjejr I did yeah, really enjoyed it! I don't have much ARPG experience and it wasn't too daunting. Not sure about co-op though, played it solo.

I was looking forward to this because I loved TL2, but if reviews are that bad I think I'll skip it. Especially for that price.

@rjejr haven't done any co op but TL2 is a great game. TL1 is on the Xbox one and 360 also if you have either of those.

@Dirty0814 Played TL on PC WAAAY back when. Might have bene my 1st Steam game purchase. Never got 2 though. And after reading all of these comments 3 is never happening.

Yet another late game. Same old song.

Switch release delays can be a blessing for those of us who use Switch as our primary console: A rubbish game like this comes out, folks on other platforms warn us about it, and we save our money!

@Jeronan i actually need to get further TL 2 anyway. Thank you for the advice. Loot boxes and microtransactions?! What did they do to it? 😪

I'll wait for the reviews. Sometimes users like to talk nonsense, so I won't trust it until I see it.
The game looks pretty solid.

@GrantM3 it is not a F2P anymore. They changed the business model and branding to reflect that. It is now a buy-once game.

I always see these trailers, and even almost bought Torchlight 2, but then I think about Diablo 3, and I always would rather pick that up again for a season than get TL for Switch.

Reviews aren't so great so far, so I definitely lowered my (already low) expectations.

It feels like they were running out of time/money and had to get it out ASAP.

Apparently they made a lot of quick progress once they moved to the new name and business model...so I am crossing my fingers that they will continue at this pace and make it better in the next few months.

But at the same time, they COULD be low on cash, which could mean shrinking the team.

Just to be clear, those are all just theories.

Hoping I am wrong

We don't know about the pricing on Switch just yet, right?

Being delayed on Switch was a good thing in this case. Avoid this game like the plague. This series had great potential. Keyword is HAD.

If I liked 1 and 2, will I like this one?

@Alienfreaks04 No. This one drops it all on the floor, steps on it, lights it on fire, then pees on it.

Avoid.

I’ve played the TL2 demo, and it doesn’t have the same feel as Diablo. I’d rather stick to the improved Minecraft Dungeons than take a shot here, probably.

@BreathingMiit No switch owners need to have the same 50/50 odds on whether a game is good or not. I want same day releases. That's how I did it back in my day.

Why do these games always have to be in dark dungeons?
That is why I like Titan Quest despite all its flaws. Sunny days on the beach in Greece.

I loved the second one but not sure about this one
Need a review

@Zebetite So let me clear some things up for you as I have it on PC and have played since first Beta.

The final Version has added Tons of content
Single player is OFFLINE no need to be online
Game is pretty much Bug Free i cant find a single issue at all.

This game is not POE or Diablo if you go into it thinking this is going to be hardcore with tons of builds / gear sets its not for you.

This game is pretty much a very casual easy to pick up Dungeon Hack and slash.

Its a ton of fun and I plan on buying it on switch even though i already have it on PC. Like i said it may not be for some but a lot of people are having a great time playing.

@Zeldafan79 delayed by less than 2 weeks not that big of a deal

@Jeronan funny thing is I absolutely love this game . I been playing since early beta and i respect your opinion but i have had nothing but a great time playing solo and with friends .

@The_Pixel_King glad to see you base your opinion on what other people say . TL2 is so old it should be free .

TL3 may be a tad shorter than TL2 but for the low price of $39 its a steal really. and with free DLC over the next few years will make up for any so called missing content. I am already playing end game and still having a total blast playing .

This actually looks quite fantastic, but I will wait for a half off sale before purchasing.

@mikegwald You felt the need to respond not once, but four times in a row to defend this game, so it's hard to take you seriously. Turn the fanboying down just a notch. Besides, your opinions don't change the fact that this game is getting slammed in the reviews wherever you look.

JUST FROM THE TRAILER THE GAME LOOKS FUN. sometimes itrust my own instinct the what reviewers and random peopllle say on line and im happy i alwaysdo .

I recently got Diablo 3 for the switch and I'm loving it! Got my 50$ worth out of it.
I've been really excited about Torchlight 3 and I hope they release a demo because that will determine if I'll buy the game or not.
