Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition

Immortal Throne add-on expands the plot of the basic game with a new campaign, in which our hero traverses the dark and sinister depths of Hades, facing the greatest villains of the Greek mythology.

Mechanics

When it comes to mechanics, Titan Quest is a classic example of a hack-and-slash RPG, popularized in the late 90s of the last century by the legendary Diablo. At the beginning of the game, we create our character, choosing from an impressive number of 28 available classes, different in terms of appearance, abilities, and fighting style. The protagonist traverses various regions, visiting a number of mythic locations, such as: Parthenon, Giza pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon or The Great Wall of China, talking to encountered characters and completing various main or secondary quests that mainly involve eliminating hordes of monsters. As you progress in the game, our hero gains experience and advances to next levels, developing his physical and magical abilities. The equipment acquired during our journey also has an influence on our character’s power and abilities. Everyone will find something to their liking, as the players can choose from about thousand pieces of weaponry, armors, and magical items.

According to the developers, Titan Quest Anniversary Edition includes 1261 changes in relation to the original version of the game from 2006. As concerns the mechanics, the most important of them involve a much better balancing of individual classes, abilities, weapons, and items, an improved non-player character AI, bigger equipment capability, or an improved loot system. Furthermore, the game includes a large number of new enemies and bosses, and a number of smaller fixes that are a result of cooperation between the developers and player community, spanning over 10 years.

Game modes

Similarly to the predecessor, Titan Quest Anniversary Edition includes not only single player modes, but also cooperation mode for 2-6 players. This edition received a thoroughly refreshed and improved multiplayer mode, introducing a number of useful functionalities, such as voice chat between players.

Technical aspects

As far as the visuals are concerned, Titan Quest Anniversary Edition for PC, PS4 and etc. doesn’t change the graphics in any major way. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that even if authors only introduced new screen resolution options, the visuals stood the test of time, and are still eye-catching, even after a decade. Among other technical changes, it is worth to mention improving the performance and stability of the game, and introducing new language versions. Aside from typical Steam additions, such as achievements or trading cards, a huge novelty is introducing support for mods and the ability to share our works through Steam Workshop.
