Torchlight Frontiers Developer Livestream – Relic Weapons & Forts

A new developer livestream for Echtra Games’ upcoming multiplayer action-RPG Torchlight Frontiers offers roughly an hour and a half of developer commentated gameplay footage that focuses on a couple of recently revealed features – Relic Weapons and Forts. The former will act as yet another layer of progression and allow you to superpower your characters, and the latter will serve as your base of operations.

Here’s the VOD:

And here’s what you can expect from Frontiers’ Relic Weapons:

A big part of Torchlight: Frontiers is collecting an ever wider variety of power for your character. Today we’re going to show how Relic Weapons add another dimension to character building, beyond class skills and gear based stats.

RELICS ARE A SPECIAL TYPE OF ITEM WITH UNIQUE FEATURES:

• Unique item that levels up. Gains increased stats, new affixes, and can grant access to unique skills.
• Equipped in the dedicated Relic Weapon slot of your character.
• Can be activated to swap out your primary weapon for a short time, granting additional powers and effect while active.
• Designed to provide a wide range of options for character building – they can be build-defining items or used to compliment a preferred play style.
• Earned through crafting, so you can reliably work towards the Relics you want to collect.
• Basically gives your character super powers.
