5. Torchlight Mobile (upcoming IOS game)

Developed by Fedeen Games, Torchlight Mobile is a spin-off to a popular hack-and-slash game series. The title was developed from scratch with mobile devices in mind, and thus it is not a simple conversion of any of the previous installments. 

Torchlight Mobile invites you into a classic fantasy universe, as it stands on the brink of destruction at the hands of servants of darkness. Obviously, the task of defeating the evil forces and saving the world falls down on the player. You can pick any of the four playable character classes: Berserker, Engineer, Outlander, and Embermage, each one representing a completely different profession and requiring different play style. 

In a typical action RPG manner, the gameplay boils down to fighting hordes of monsters, developing your character’s skills, and upgradeing their equipment, e.g. by combining several weaker items into one more powerful. Torchlight Mobile features slightly cartoonish artworks, characteristic of the core games in the series.

The task of defeating the evil and saving the civilization is in the hands of the player. The game’s story, however, has no real meaning and serves simply as a background for the gameplay.

Game-play

The game offers four playable character classes. You can choose from the Berserker, famous for his battle rage, the Engineer, a master of crafty devices, the Outlander, firearm specialist, and finally, the Embermage who wields elemental magic. The professions are vastly different from one another and require the player to use completely different tactics. In terms of game mechanics, Torchlight Mobile is a classic hack-and-slash and most of the time you engage in combat against hordes of enemies, develop your character, and constantly upgrade your equipment. The latter aspect is supplemented by a system of combining several items into a single, more powerful one.

Technology
