Titan Quest (and it's Expansion pack: Immortal Throne) is an Action-RPG, primarily (if not always) in the Third-Person View. Titan Quest is heavily based on Greek mythology, however it has many references to Chinese mythology and even Egyptian mythology. If you enjoyed playing Diablo, Diablo 2 (or anything in that vein of genre), you may enjoy playing Titan Quest as well. Like Diablo 2, you earn attributes and XP based on the quests you complete and the monsters (type inclusive) as well.

 

Titan Quest is based on the end of communication between the gods and humanity. The main character (whose name and sex can be chosen by the player) begins the quest on a dirt road near a small village named Helos. The world has been overrun by beasts and creatures (drawn largely from mythology) that are terrorizing the countryside wrecking harvests, burning temples, invading villages and cemeteries, besieging cities etc. After being sent on a mission to Delphi by the Spartan general Leonidas, the story revolves around the fictional order of Prometheus and their efforts to restore balance to the world. The hero finds centaurs, harpies, automatons, spiders and scorpions, yetis, undead soldiers and other such monsters derived from myth, relentlessly guarding the way and trying to prevent him from reaching the next village or town. The hero must occasionally face stronger 'miniboss' monsters, usually as part of a side quest. Bosses also appear at intervals generally guarding a main quest item, transportation device, quest NPC etc. the player faces a boss enemy (called telkines) at the end of each 'act' (Greece, Egypt and The Orient) and faces a final boss enemy at Mount Olympus, the Titan Typhon.[/Quote]

 

* Personal Note * I still like Diablo/Diablo 2 more... but neverthless, this is a pretty fun game as well.

 

Have you played it? If yes, what are your thoughts?

this is an amazing game very similar to d2 just in greece. I'd call it a clone actually so anyone who likes the diablos should play this.

I've played both and enjoy both games in different ways. The way that TQ does classes is completely different than i'd seen from another d2 clone, which there are plenty of, but i found the levelling to be rather slow. On the other hand I enjoy diablo 2's speed of levelling but dislike how you have to "mf" things which usually involves having to make a caster character (usually a sorc) or trade for the good items.

tl;dr Each game is amazing in it's own unique but similar way.
