The Torchlight franchise has always been about finding ways to improve on the standards set by Diablo. Real talk: I’ve only found one great loot-centric action-RPG on Switch, and it’s Diablo 3.

The hybrid console and portable seems like it would be the perfect platform for lengthy action RPGs, but there are very few Diablo-style games to be found on Nintendo’s console, and even fewer great ones. Which is why Torchlight 2’s arrival on Switch is such a blessing. Its main competitor? Believe it or not, Diablo 3. But Torchlight 2 is finally getting a console release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, after a seven-year wait. Torchlight 2 has since faded into obscurity as a PC-only game, while Diablo 3 was updated, ported, and supported throughout its life. Torchlight 2 was the Pepsi to Diablo 3’s New Coke. Going up against the king of the genre is a rough go, but Torchlight 2 earned a dedicated fan base, many of whom had bounced off Blizzard’s game, which was suffering from a variety of launch issues. Visually, the Ancient Vault will be much darker as well.The loot-heavy, top-down action RPG was released in 2012, the same year as Diablo 3.

Note that while one can use a ring of any level (not necessarily maximum) to open the portal, lower-level rings will accordingly reduce the yield from the Vault, even if a max-level character actually performs the run.Īs of Patch 2.6.0, players can no longer drop common items from their inventory to give to their loot goblin.Īs of patch 2.6.5, using an Ancient or Primal Ring will, conversely, increase the difficulty and reward of the Vault, replacing every single Vault Sentry with a Treasure Goblin instead.Also, the goblin will make a sound when its counter reaches max and it drops an item, and it does not pick up the items intended for Transmogrification.Īs of patch 2.3.0, one may transmute this ring in Kanai's Cube (destroying it in process!) to open a one-time portal to the Treasure Realm. The Rare Items dropped by the summoned goblin always have 6 affixes, and its counter persists through death, changing locations, and un-equipping the ring, though it still will not persist across game sessions. Wearing the Puzzle Ring will effectively prevent players from getting common items for crafting.

The Puzzle Ring is a Legendary Ring in Diablo III.
