Torchlight: Infinite Builds Without Limits

You start with a hero and shape it your own way, picking through 24 talent tabs, over 200 legendary gears and over 240 skills. Spacetime Witness Youga adds another option with his trait The Ultimate One: he hunts down parallel versions of himself to take their power, and you freely combine three development paths.

In the endgame, pets account for a large share of damage, so plan builds with that trade-off in mind if you want to push far.

Combat moves quickly and keeps you attacking. You decide the rhythm yourself, staying in melee range, setting off magical blasts, using draining pools, or shooting distant targets, with nothing stopping you from using the next attack right away. Loot drops without limit, with autoloot to pick it up and a Trade House to trade hero builds with other players.

The graphics and art style carry the fantasy dungeons from a top-down view while the action stays fast and satisfying. Come for the fighting and the collection if you enjoy repeating fights for loot through a long endgame grind.

In the Tartarus season you take charge as prison Warden. Over a 20-day sentence, you hunt escaped inmates for their Prisoner Nameplates. Feeding the strong inmates is how you work toward Chromatic Prisoners showing up.

Each patrol stays unpredictable, with painful instruments to bring out and sudden events breaking into your route. Serving the full sentence triggers a riot, so you close the season by clearing monsters from the middle of the prison to earn Warden's Caches. You also gain backup through interrogation-room letters, unlocking allies whose own Tartarus Skills arrive paired with random supports and grow in slots as their rank rises.
