I just played through the first game earlier this year with a friend of mine. It’s fun but dated in a lot of ways, so it will be cool to play a modernized version of that, especially when it comes to designing for controllers from the outset. The ability mod system looks really cool and reminds me of that game Superfuse that isn’t going over well right now in early access.
I don’t care for gamepads, but I agree on the dated part. Original TQ feels very sluggish, slow paced and limited in its movement nowadays. Kinda why I also couldn’t get into the newer addons since their return. I wonder if TQ2 even addresses this in a meaningful way. The build variety I hope will be about as good, if not better, than what TQ had to offer - which was definitely one of its strong suits. I’m glad they’re back though, and that they have the rights to their title back as well. TQ and probably Hellgate were probably the hack’n slay games I played most aside from the Diablo franchise, which now can go fuck itself.
I do like the graphics though. Gives a painted feel without looking cartoonish.
I hope they’re also looking at providing Steam Deck support for the original game too, otherwise there are going to be a lot of disappointed potential players looking to try/revisit the original. Like me:/
Never did manage to finish it, stuck on the last boss. Pile of shame.
I’m pretty sure one of the newer add-ons of the original game has controller support as one of its features
Good to know!
