Titan Quest was one of Blizzard’s best “Diablo Clone” games. Originally released in 2006 and retaining the classic hack-and’slash combat style and depth of character customization that defined the Diablo series. The setting trades in the Diablo world for one of classical mythology. This takes the players on an adventure through ancient Greece and Egypt as they seek out rogue Titans.

A solid, entertaining game. This also holds true for its leap to Switch. Although the library is extensive, it has very few Diablo clones. The game was originally designed for keyboard and mouse, but can now be played on a handheld device thanks to the reworked controls. Local multiplayer is an excellent feature. However, you will need to have a second controller (or set of Joy Cons) in order to access this mode.

You may also find Titan Quest on Play. Station 4. Matt has written a review.

Titan Quest places you in the role of a Helos warrior, assigned to investigate a sudden surge in monster activity. According to the story, the problem is that titans from the past are trying to escape their prisons following defeat at the Hans of Olympian gods. They’re responsible for the unnatural abundance of mythical beasts including centaurs, myrmidons (harpies), and myrmidons. Naturally, you have to put a stop to them, taking you on a journey across ancient Greece, Egypt, and Asia.

The plot is actually not very interesting. It’s not helped by small dialog boxes which can be difficult to read, scrolling at a slow speed and hard-to-follow dialogue boxes. The plot isn’t really important beyond creating a stunning and inviting environment to do your hacking and cutting.

Titan Quest’s main draw is its hacking and slashing. The combat system is very similar to Diablo, and you only need to use the Y button to cut your way through the hundreds of enemies who are trying to stop you. The combat system isn’t particularly deep but you have the option to see the entire battlefield from an isometric perspective. You can use this to your advantage and not get overwhelmed.

Titan Quest offers a lot of depth and excitement. This is because you can increase your character’s level, learn new skills, collect a great deal of loot, and get more exciting. There are many skills you can use through the “masteries” which is this game’s version on character classes. Warfare mastery focuses on melee combat, Nature on defensive and support magic, Hunting on ranged combat, and so on.

First released on PC, then port to mobile platforms, before reaching PS4 and Xbox One. First released in 2015 by THQ Nordic, the god-annoying Diablo clone Titan Quest received decent reviews on PC. With its combination of Greek mythology with deep character progression, it gave Blizzard’s classic RPG a respectable run. Earlier this year, Titan Quest made its way onto Xbox One and Play. With the expected results, Station 4 was released. However, while it scored well in reviews and was appreciated by genre fans, it wasn’t a huge success. The game is finally available on Switch. However, there are two small issues: the lack of lootathon ARPGs and that Titan Quest can now be carried again.

Titan Quest follows the same pattern as Diablo III, Dungeon Hunter II, and Sacred. Here you are the protagonist, a relatively weak character, thrust into a war against powerful gods. You will become stronger by levelling up and looting enemies to get new weapons and gear. Action is presented from an isometric perspective, and a zoom-able camera lets you get super close to the nitty-gritty as you swing swords and hurl spells in your quest to level up as quickly as possible.

In content, there is little to no change in the Switch version. It has the same campaign (playable alone or online with friends) and similar content as previous versions. Unfortunately, there is no touchscreen inventory management in this 2016’s i. OS. The biggest problem with the previous version was its framerate. However, I did experience more slowdowns and stuttering when using the Switch version. This could have helped to elevate this version over the PS4 and Xbox One. The buttons work as with all console versions. Titan Quest on Switch does allow for video capture, though, so if that’s the kind of thing that makes a difference to you, then you’re aces. There are other versions that do it, and there is no reason to buy another version.

This basically is an unfinished port of a good hack-‘n’-slash action-RPG. This is the biggest attraction. If the Switch is the primary console or your only one, you won’t find much else to rival it in terms looting or levelling. However, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Octopath Traveller, or Battle Chasers Nightwar might better serve your RPG needs.

Switch reviews Titan Quest Nintendo Switch. Watch Developer: THQ Nordic (Iron Lore Entertainment originally) THQ Nordic Release Date: July 31st, 2018 Price as of Article:

$29.99 USD PlayStation35.99 GBP Code provided by THQ Nordic to review. Like most of you, my childhood was spent playing Diablo 2. My favorite game was Diablo 2. The Switch’s release has made me keen to search for any games that could bring back the joy of Diablo on my handheld console. But, nothing yet seems to have the potential of doing so. Until now.

Titan Quest was originally released on the PC in 2006 and came at a time when fans of the Diablo series were greatly thirsting for a new experience. With a small delay in its Switch release, it was finally released to consoles on March 1, 2012. Many fans felt extremely disappointed by the buggy Xbox One and PS4 versions of this game. However, the Switch version was finally released after the delay. This allowed for many bug fixes to be made for other consoles.

This isn’t a new game. But is it worth the effort? Find out in our Titan Quest Review!

This event took place in ancient Greece. The peaceful countryside was overrun by monstrous creatures culled from mythology. The evil Satyrs or Minotaurs have taken over the country, destroying both villages and social stability. Gorgons set about making once brave heroes stone by their petrifying gaze, destroying temples. These times are characterized by great heroes who rise up to confront the evil. This is the core premise for this game.

In ages long past, the gods of ancient Greece sealed away powerful, malicious beings called the Titans who desired nothing more than to see the extinction of the greatest creation of the gods: humanity. The Telkines, a powerful trio of sorcerers who could summon any number of evil foes to the country were among the Titans. In order to beat the Telkine threat, you must explore the actual world of Greece with the help of some Telkine-infected sorcerers.

While the story of the game is not what is important, it is important that the player is able to move along the quest. This game’s goal is to simply kill monsters and collect loot, not to engage with the story. This being said, the fact that the game takes place in real-world locales and draws inspiration from the mythology of these places is charming.

It is not easy to find waypoints within cities.

There are no randomly-generated worlds. The journey will be linear and will lead you through many regions of the vast world. You will discover a waypoint in each city that will enable you to travel back. There are usually a couple of areas between each city that you can traverse to clear out enemies. While your maps aren’t random, the placement and types of enemies are indeed random, so that keeps each run fresh and exciting. This isn’t the Diablo game, where you can find way points at each location. Jumping back to particular locations quickly won’t work.

As you explore, you will find Rebirth Fountains which activate when you approach them. They are essential to your progress, as they will activate when you approach them. Keep your Rebirth Fountain current. Losing it could cause you to have to go back and forth from the previous town. This is one of the greatest dangers I found in playing online. If you use a town portal to jump to the location of a player who is ahead of or behind you in the game and you activate a new Rebirth Fountain, you will lose your current one and will have to backtrack to it again should you desire to continue from where you last left off on your own file. This flaw is one of my biggest criticisms about the Rebirth Fountain system.

Titan Quest overall is a massive game. I will admit that I only progressed roughly 20 hours into the game. The first three of four current acts took me 18 hours to complete. It is a staggering amount! Diablo 2 allows you to progress through the three acts in a matter of 8 hours. Here was a little over twice that time just invested in completing the first one. You can find it quite difficult to get from one end of the map to the next. This is what I found surprising about this game. In addition to the lengthy time it takes to complete the game there are 2 additional challenges to overcome. So you’re in for a long journey.

The sounds and cries that accompany exploration are often accompanied by combat sound effects or the cry of monsters. While music that is inspired by your location may play occasionally to add some excitement, the emphasis here should be on exploration. Sound effects and music can set the mood.
