Torchlight: Infinite is back as a playable game with its recent launch of the 3rd Closed Beta test that runs from 5th September 2022 till 19th September. Players can download the game from their respective Google Play Stores only for now but the game has been slated to launch on iOS App Store and Steam Game Store as well during the global release. Torchlight: Infinite is developed and published by XD Entertainment PTE Ltd. The game is classified as a skill-based ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) with an emphasis on loot-based gameplay and grinding. Torchlight: Infinite is also going to be the first mobile game for the Torchlight franchise. Players can pre-register for the game on their respective play stores or through the official website of Torchlight: Infinite to get a chance of getting a head-start during the global release.

Torchlight: Infinite is a new loot-based ARPG that is unlike any other MMO or ARPG the mobile genre has seen. The game follows a strict tradition of play-to-win instead of pay-to-win where players can only complete microtransactions to buy new outfits for their heroes or items. However, after seeing the new things added to the game’s 3rd CBT, some additional monetization values can also be seen in the form of additional hero traits locked behind a paywall. A new Auto-Loot feature where players can collect AFK resources if they pay for the system is also present. However, the Auto-Loot feature does not take into consideration the legendary and higher rarity of resources and items. Players can play the rest of the game throughout as a free-to-play title. 

Torchlight: Infinite does not have a proper class system or a hero collector system where players can summon different heroes or change them. Instead, the game focuses more on making your existing hero unique with over 300+ skills and talents to choose from. This massive customizability is one of the main strong points to grind for and a lucrative option for players who want to test out different gameplay styles for the same hero. For example, players can be a tanky mage that deals physical damage or a ranged assassin that wields a sword. The customization for the skills and talents is limitless with over 10,000 different unique combinations. 

The number of heroes that a player can role-play as are limited to currently 5. In the future, developers of Torchlight: Infinite have expressed their aim to increase this number of manifolds as the game progresses as well. Each hero in the game has different traits that are unlocked as you level them up. These traits are unique and cannot be interchanged between heroes as skills and talents can. The 5 different heroes available to be played and chosen at the beginning of the game are as follows:

• Rehan – A merciless sword holder.
• Carino – A well-mannered gentleman that is extremely proud of his gunnery. 
• Gemma – A master of thermal mech energy technology.
• Youga – A world-class mage that does not care much about his destiny.
• Moto – A mischievous witch who deals magical damage 

Rehan – Hero Traits

Rehan is a melee range hero that excels at dealing damage to enemies in a close state of combat. His high defensive and offensive stats make him an excellent contender to choose for beginner players.

Grew up under tremendous pressure and hardship, Rehan lived no better than any low life. When Rehan started to think he’ll never get his father’s approval, chieftain of Varagon himself reached out to his son, and Rehan hesitated. The recognition from his father that he had been longing seemed to be at hand… But Uhtred didn’t take a blink to care about his own son, he commanded surrounding Agitos to trap Rehan under a spell. As ember energy start to bleed into every nerve and vein inside his body, endless dreadful howling echos the hall.”
