Echonok, the scene of the third act of Torchlight 3, added to the early access version. The update continues the story and includes several new environments as well as dungeons in which new bosses, enemies and Echonok loot await the players.
Perfect World Entertainment und Echtra Games: “In Echonok, players continue their quest to stop the Netherim from looting the ancient dwarven halls. After the Sadista spoiled by the Netherim is defeated, the brave adventurers of Torchlight III have to take care of their cunning sister Veriss. She carries the Void Heart and thus has the power to fuse the world of humans and the Netherim, but it will not be easy to thwart Veriss’ deadly plan the Voltura, evil mixture of birds and machines. They live from the dead and defend the mountains they occupy with all their might. “

The early access start of Torchlight 3 was rather bumpy because server problems made both the login and the actual games difficult – especially since the offline mode is still missing. In the meantime, some, but not all, technical quirks have been fixed – server-side stutters / lags in gameplay continue to occur, but not so often anymore.
Overall, the action role-playing game falls short of expectations, especially the rather limited character development opportunities (especially in comparison to the predecessors), the too tubular levels, balance problems with opponents (speed, force of attack, animations), hardly emerging atmosphere, Standard missions and largely unimportant loot represent the largest construction sites at the moment. The “lifebound mechanics”, corresponding objects disappear after the character has passed away, also turns out to be a snap idea, especially with server and balance problems. This feature would have been better placed in a hardcore mode.
