Great semi-mindless entertainment

I just started playing this game a week or two ago, and I'm totally addicted. I agree with many of the previous comments...this is clearly a Diablo II clone, but so what? I loved that game! There's enough of a difference in character development, spells, etc. to make it interesting for me to play even though it's similar gameplay.

What I like:

1) Portal system. You can go sell stuff or wrap up quests in town whenever you please without having to carry things in your inventory to cast a spell.

2) I like the maps because the areas you have not explored are black - not an uncommon feature these days I realize. But in addition to that, the areas you were in during a previous game session are gray until you run through them again. That is very helpful.

3) Spell/skill variety. I like that you can choose 2 different skill lines to master (like warfare, nature, earth, etc). Within each one are a large variety of spells to choose from & upgrade. In my opinion these choices really have a huge impact on gameplay.

4) The game is not too difficult and doesn't take much head-scratching to figure out where to go and what to do (see review title). Call me a wuss, but I really hate when boss mobs are so tough it takes you 15 tries to figure out the best strategy and get past it with a few HP left. I am probably in the last 3rd of the game right now and I've only died once. That was at the hands of one of the lower level bosses, and I was quite pleased to see when I returned to finish him off that his HP were right where I left them when I bit the dust. =)

5) Death doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. You just lose a little XP, but will never lose a level. You go back to the last 'rebirth fountain' which is kinda like a save point. Then you just trot back to where you were - the monsters don't respawn unless you quit the game.

6) Equipment does not wear out. I never liked that feature in other games...where you always had to go back to town to fix your weapons & armor.

Things I'm not so crazy about:

1) I wish there was a bank vault. Inventory space is very limited, at least for the early levels of the game. So far at level 10, 20, and 30 I've been granted an additional backpack, which is cool but I'd still rather have a bank to dump stuff in that I might want to use later.

2) Although I haven't finished the game yet, it does seem like it's going to end a little sooner than I expected. And I can't really see myself playing it again w/a new character. It would be pretty boring to go through it all again since I know nothing will change.

3) I don't care for the way heal spells work. You can't really click to target anything...which is why you have to just hold down the mouse button to continue combat (also slightly annoying). So you hit the spell button first, then click either yourself or your pet. There have been many times that this just didn't work when I tried to click on my body and there was a lot going on, so now I just automatically click on the part of the screen that shows my health/energy bars. This is in the upper left corner - I don't like having to stop fighting all the time to click on myself for a heal.

4) You have no choice in your character's appearance, you're just either male or female. Not really that big of a deal, but I'm used to it from other games. I like being able to pick my own facial features etc.

5) As another reviewer said, the dungeons are way too small. It ends up being more like a dungeon sprint than a dungeon crawl.

Overall I am happy with this game, and would definitely recommend it to anyone that doesn't require much of a challenge to stay interested. This is mindless hack n' slash, which is just what I like.

It's Diablo 2.5. :)

Solid hack and slash dungeon crawler which plays like a slightly improved Diablo II. Good graphics, average voice talent, numerous spells and incredibly simple but powerful, easy to use key binding system. If you enjoyed Diablo or Diablo II, you'll enjoy Titan Quest.

Think Diablo II LOD (Plus)

Great, simple, hack and slash in the same vein as Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction. I bought a couple copies for me and my boys and we had a great time finishing the Easy campaign (it makes you play the easy level first. No choice.)in about a week. The kids got bored and now I am playing through the middle difficulty solo.

It's great mindless, power up, Level up, gaming. Well worth the [...] I paid for it.

Enjoy!

Have played through about half of the game so far. Am really enjoying it. The skill reassignment ability lends a strategic element that is refreshing- you can retool your skills to adapt to specific threats. Nice.

Inventory space could be a bit more robust, but thats a minor squabble.

If you like the genre, this is a must buy. Minor bugs, great gameplay and an enjoyable world!

Go buy.

Fun game, unplayable by most

Fun game, very close to diablo 1 style and not a bad storyline. however all the bugs make this game all but unplayable. For the OFFICIAL list of everything that can and will happen check out the official tech support list at http://vnboards.ign.com/titan_quest_tech_support/b23097/97565666/p1/?8
If you manage to get this installed and working, enjoy your 1-2 hours of play before a crash. Also, be sure to constantly back up your save files as any crash will potentially corrupt your saves. I've already returned my copy to the store, hopefully companies wont keep trying to sell products that dont work.

Unfinished and buggy.

Be advised, this game is extremely crash prone and suffers from some extremely frustrating bugs - like character loss! The company admits to issues, and claims to be trying to fix them, but thus far they've done nothing.

To top it off, there are big balance issues later in the game that clearly show the game was not fully play tested. Once again the developer claims to be working to address these issues - yet we see no patches to address them.

The final nail in the coffin for this game is that it is short, expect only 3 hours to finish the main quest on normal, then you have to repeat the SAME GAME 2 more times to unlock all difficulty levels.

What a stinker of a game.

best pc game (next to halo of course)

My kind of RPG. Lot's of hacking and slashing and I was able to finish without getting a game faq.

The Titans have never looked so good!

First of all, I'm a die hard Diablo and Diablo II player. I've tried many "clones", and Titan Quest is the one that stands out first and foremost in my mind. I was never so delighted to play the hack and slash genre since Diablo as I have with Titan Quest, happily delving into this type of game with abandon. A breakdown is below:

Fun: For pure monster slaying mayhem, this game is the one. Lots of enemies on screen, spells fly, swords thunk into beasties...you will be at this for awhile.

Playability: Simple controls make this game one of the most playable games out there. Simple left click and right-clicks will keep you moving along without complicated control schemes

Graphics: Exceeding Diablo II, the graphics will cause problems on middle to lower end machines. Perhaps unplayable on lower end machines entirely.

Originality: Based on Diablo and Diablo II, not very original, but with plenty of diversity to keep you busy and enthralled.

Overall: Highly recommended for those that love hack and slash, item collecting, or just monster bashing. Those seeking a more "fulfilled" RPG/action game might want to rent or find a demo first before committing to this title.
