Iron Lore have come up trumps with the difficulty level yet again.

There is a whole new realm for you to rampage through, and rampage you will. Less useful but high on the “oh-that’s-good-o-meter” are the pretty ocean waves and the footprints that follow you around as well as the gamma slider, for instant atmosphere.īut Immortal Throne is not all about new features. Other useful features include undo buttons on all upgrade screens to help you get the most of your experience points, there’s also a new experience bar which allows you to see just how close you are to getting that next vital level-up. This 21st century luxury tidies up your inventory to make treasure gathering even easier than before.

Mind you, nothing is free, even in ancient Greece…Ī real favourite of mine is the inventory sort button, definitely not an ancient Greek invention. New to the world of Titan Quest are the Caravan Drivers, that allow the easy movement of large inventories of items between characters, and Enchanters who can un-enhance your favourite weapon so that you can attach that more powerful upgrade you have been desperate to try out. Nearly all of the improvements that have been made are the ones that any sensible gamer would have asked for. The possibilities for new combinations of skills, pets and abilities are almost endless. Phantom Strike will get you up close and personal just before you use Colossus to turn yourself into a 20-foot-tall engine of destruction. Why not try becoming a Templar? A combination of the Dream and Defence Masteries. Do you want to try out the new Dream Mastery in the glorious sunshine of Greece? Do you want to try any one of the eight new combinations of bad-guy-beating awesomeness that are yours to command? Well now you can. In fact, Immortal Throne almost demands that you rid Greece of evil all over again!īut why? Why would you want to play levels you have already conquered, kill bad guys with more legs/heads/eyes/teeth than any self-respecting bad guy should have? The answer is that now, unbelievably, it’s even better! The improvements that Iron Lore have produced are an answer to every player’s prayers.

Those of you who have already fought your way to victory on Mount Olympus may think your mission is complete.

Before I get started on the fun that can be yours as you hack and slash your way through the halls of the dead, I should mention the land of the living.
