XD Games studio announced the launch of a new season in the isometric role-playing action game Torchlight: Infinite, called Vorax. The theme of the update was the mysterious Vorax syndrome, which has affected monsters in the game world. The main gameplay loop is now tied to collecting a special resource from infected enemies. Through a special menu, players can independently adjust the difficulty of the passage, increasing the rarity and aggressiveness of monsters, which directly affects the quality and quantity of trophies dropped.
In the new season, players can expect the following:
- Grafting system — A new mechanism for creating items that allows you to combine characteristics that were previously incompatible within a single slot.
- Extracting Legendary Properties – Players can disassemble Legendary equipment, extracting its unique buffs in the form of special modifiers, and transfer up to two of these bonuses to any chosen equipment.
- Hero Trait: Vendetta Bite – A new specialization for Erika’s Cat’s Eye, focusing on high movement speed and melee damage while dashing.
- Magic mechanics “Tangle” — A new system for spellcasters, based on the imposition of parasitic effects that cause periodic damage over a long period of time.
- Visual update — Complete reworking of the models of the heroes Rehan, Karino and Gemma, as well as updating the appearance of a number of monsters and special effects in battle.
- Interface modernization — Large-scale UI revision, affecting the auction, inventory, skill system and equipment icons to increase their readability.
