Looks and feels like a mobile game.
It is extremely simplistic in many ways. And thats not a good thing. Some of the skills and itemization / custumization options has a bit of potential, but overall it really looks and feels like a game developed for mobile.
My bet is, they are gonna anounce a console port very soon.

Oh god no, not a console port. That must mean the game is for children. Oh wait, one of the most complex RPGs ever made, Pathfinder: Kingmaker is also getting a dreaded "console port".

- by "complex", do you then actually mean "unplayable for many weeks"..
There is a big difference between making a game meant for Mobile-phones and porting it to PC - and then doing it the other way around.. This game was clearly build from scratch to mobile and console players. It's bland, water'ed down, simplistic. Few huge UI buttons... As far as i can read on their forums, this is on purpose so that console players can keep up with the game...
- this is not Torchlight 3 ... It's Torchlight the mobile-game.
So heads up; yes its for children that cant comprehend too many skill-trees and custumization-options. - and it needs huge simple buttons to be able to play it on a mobile phone.

The best part is all the tap and hold BS on the UI interaction.

I honestly thinking of refunding this garbage. This mobile game has nth to do with Torchlight series.

The mobile Torchlight is a different game. Not this one. This one was Frontiers.

This is exactly what I was worried about. For some reason I was left under the impression there was effort made on that front in the later years of dev work. Guess I was wrong.

I only have been able to test for 2 minutes maybe due to constant disconnects and servers being down...but yeah, this feels like a cheap a** conversion of a mobile game to a console...combat is not impactfull - how are some people saying they are enjoying it is crazy

OMG this is funny and shocking than a mobile game has more weight behind its combat than a PC game...(sry, wanna be PC game)

POE didn't dumb down their PC version because they later launched on consoles.

Your strawman game is strong
