This allows for extreme replayability and flexibility, tempting players to try out other Builds and test other styles of play. Players can choose from one of the 9 different Skill Trees after their first level, and when they hit level 8, they can select a second Skill Tree, allowing for a total of 72 possible combinations! Second, the Skill Trees in the game offer unique character Building that has much more diversity than Diablo, especially when compared with Diablo III. Equipment are also named and molded after each of the various region’s history, so when you acquire powerful artifacts and gear, they are appropriately themed such as the Nordic, Ragnarok Blade and the classic Roman short-sword, the Gladius. Greek, Egyptian, Chinese and even Norse are all included having you face many of the monsters that you’ve likely read about in your childhood. Unlike Diablo’s “angels and demons” premise, Titan Quest uses the broad mythologies and legends of ancient history. What separates Titan Quest from Diablo boils down to 2 aspects: The Mythos of the game and its Skill Trees. And just like Diablo, players also had a Health and Mana pool, as well as Skills which they can unlock as they gain levels. The game featured a combat system relatively similar to the aforementioned Diablo a game where players mowed down hordes of enemies, acquired loot, went after more challenging enemies, and received additional, but better loot.
Titan Quest is a hack ‘n’ slash-style isometric-RPG that was released for the PC platform all the way back in June of 2006.
So much so in fact, there are numerous articles around the internet asking “where the hell is Titan Quest 2?” So in this article, I want to highlight why both console gamers and fans of the series should be excited about this relic of the past. RPG enthusiasts especially anyone who has a love affair with Blizzard’s Diablo franchise, consider this to be the best “clone” ever made. With the recent announcement of Titan Quest coming to consoles, the decade old hack ‘n’ slash RPG by THQ Nordic, more gamers will get to share in the many hours of enjoyment that PC gamers have, up until now, kept to themselves.
