    Ah, the beautiful expansion to an already amazing game. Titan Quest is great, but it pales in comparison to Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Now on top of the original three acts (Greece, Egypt and Orient) you have another act, and it's the longest one too, and also the most atmospheric and challenging. Act 4 takes the player into the Underworld, the realm of Hades himself. The original game featured a good soundtrack, but a lot of the time those played during key parts of the game. Now however even the ordinary areas are filled with beautiful music. The NPCs now are more animated, they actually call out to you when they see you. The AI of the monsters has been improved from the original - the archers for example now will tend to run away from you once you damage them.

    Immortal Throne also introduces a new mastery to the game, now giving 9 masteries, and hence 45 different character classes! As well as a new act and a mastery, many other elements are added too, such as a whole arsenal of new weapons and armor, and also the ability to reclaim some of the lost experience points upon dying. I'll admit, Titan Quest and Immortal Throne aren't for everyone. However for fans of adventure RPG games this game is more than satisfactory. If you like swords and magic, as well as ancient mythology, there is no excuse to pass this game. Just remember to buy and install the original first and then switch to Immortal Throne (IT still contains everything the original had, so there is no reason to go back to the original EVER). Though many bugs have been fixed since the original, there are still a handful present. But those have been fixed by a fanpatch 1.17.

    This is a top notch "Diablo" style game, though you can play through it rather quickly breezing through the levels pointing and clicking your way out of danger and engaging in constant flows of quick heals you won't want to. At least any fan of this genre won't want to for this game has so much to offer even within its linear map level concepts the character creation is among the most diverse out there and the weapons range from junk to elite. Though i wished that it was more true to actual mythology and it falls short a bit in the story department i still can't bring myself to give it an 8. Great game! Expand

    Titan Quest: Immortal Throne is easily the best action/rpg ever made. It has amazing graphics,sounds,environments,story and offers insane amounts of customization. You can combine classes and skilltrees as you like. Also the developers made cool editor that allows you to create your own worlds and mods. I highly recommend this game to everyone, even those who have not played this types of games before. Expand

    Complete requisite for TQ, improves the game 100%. New features, items, shops, options, and a new land that will truly challenge you. Honestly, the new map is nearly too difficult. Other than that, there's nothing really negative here for fans of ARPG. This expansion puts it clearly marks above Diablo 2. The developers are coming back with an independently published game set to improve everything about TQ, which I feel will be better than activision's cash-in on Diablo. Expand

    This is THE best hack and slash game since Diablo II. This game is a pure DII clone, but of highest quality and with beautiful graphics. The possibility of mixing so called masteries offers totally 45 possible combinations! Collect item, make a perfec build, improve your gear by collectim artifacts and relics. Classic stuff - nothing fancy but exactly what one may expect form this kind of game. Also there are some very interesting mods available! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the top three games I have played this decade. The added content for Immortal Throne was awesome. The upper levels get really tough (unless you get one of the piercing weapons) but it was just so much fun relieving stress hacking and slashing my way through mythological monsters with some buddies. And the secret area was incredible too! Expand

    After the failure of d3, i bought Titan Quest Gold on steam, 2,5 Euros, that was the best investment ever made, the quality/fun/price ration is just awsome ^^

    This game offer everything d3 failed at, tons of cool loot, even at low level you will find some nice gear to make you feel powerful, unlike in d3 where i spent countless hours, went through normal, nightmare, and half of hell and
    had no item better than magical...

    Nice monster variety, what you see a mob is wearing will drop! this is one of the best features ever, not only a skeleton wearing armor is harder to kill, but once you kill it, that armor you saw on him will drop! No more boars without livers, or murloc without heads or full plate armor dropping of a squirel...

    There are 9 masteries, you create a class by picking up 2 of the masteries, that gives a big number of classes, tons of skill to be configured in the skill trees, you get to allocate stats points yourself so you can devise some crazy builds, which can't be done in d3...

    No online drm...cheap...looks nice, great sounds, decent story, addictive and fun.

    Any fan of the Diablo series should try this game. Still beautiful now and if you have an interest in Greek/Eastern mythology this game is pretty much a downloadable orgasm.

    Hey, it's more TQ! TQ was already amazing, so now add in a high quality expansion. It's rare to see expansion of this quality lately, as this was really well done. Awesome, awesome game.

    Generally speaking, this game doesn't take a lot of risks. It's clearly cut from the same cloth as Diablo 2, quite intentionally. Despite that, there's really something enjoyable here that makes it rise above its predecessors. Maybe it's the sense of open world that provides a feeeling of exploration. Maybe it's the parade of small towns and a sense of a real place deriving from its real-world setting. I can't really put my finger on it, but it engages me in a way that the original did not. The skill trees also seem simulataneously a bit more deep, and yet without so many useless skills as the original.

    I haven't played past the initial campaign, so I'm not sure if it will have the same staying power -- diablo 2 was heavy on randomization and this is not -- but for a first playthrough it seems the superior experience.

    Wonderful game with lots of nice touches. The Graphics and art direction is breathtaking. The music and soundeffects fits well. An enormous amount of enemies makes it very diverse and there is always something new to see. The skillsystem is masterfully made and a huge number of different and FUN builds are possible. This game is a real gem that really shows the passion of the developers. Immortal Throne is probably one of the best, if not the best expansion to any game. It really makes a huge difference to an already very good game. Expand

    Awesome game and expansion. Titan Quest even in its basic form is a fun ARPG with diverse classes, tons of enemies, a good story (albeit a simple one) and a bunch of content to keep you going. It also keeps leveling balanced, has mostly equalized abilities (some are plain OP or somewhat useless), and overall is a game that can be played many times over. If you like RPGs, get Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Expand

    For those of you who can't get enough of DiabloII goodness and couldn't wait for DiabloIII, this is something which can hold down your lust. To cut it short, this is a photo-copy of the legndary diabloII, only better.

    This is a very strong expansion pack. As a fan of Diablo II, I would put this on par with its LoD expansion. The developers did an excellent job addressing issues with inventory and items to spend money on. The new Dream class also seems to be useful for either melee or ranged characters. All in all, this is a no-brainer buy for any Titan Quest fan.

    This is the best game i have played in years. Highly addictive and everything i would expect from a Diablo 2 style game after this much time to improve on the formula. This game is by far played more than any other game i own and with a half-decent PC runs beautifully in 1440x900. Highly recommended. If you like games like Diablo 2 and Dungeon Siege 2, this one is a must buy!

    Best hack-n-slash game since D2. The engine behind this game is amazing, the programmers surely did a really good job. I wish I discovered this game earlier. Its definitively on my top games list.

    IT only adds goodness to an already great game. TQ with IT is simply the best of the Diablo-clones and will be a mainstay on my system for a very long time (and I've been playing since release). Not only does IT extend the game's main story, it also adds a plethora of useful enhancements right from the start (inventory auto-sort anyone?). If you are looking for a Diablo-like game, TQ+IT is it. Expand

    Games of this type seem to be more and more rare these days. It gets a 9 for being one of my favorite types, but it loses a point for lack of sucking me into the storyline and having music that intreauged me (i'm picky about the music) I prolly shold have given it an 8, but I do feel that a 9 was fitting simply because you can't find a newer game of this type that's up to this quality. pros: Replayability, soooo many classes sooo many skills... gotta try em all out. Graphics; the game just looks amazing, and still taxes out some of the latest high end graphics cards (espeically if you turn on adaptive AA for the transparent textures) The massive amount of content: I enjoy finding new items and getting that rare purple item, although i think they could have expanded on the item area a bit, i definitely like that they concentrated on the characters more than we've seen in the past. No one simple upgrade path to follow. Very extravagant. cons: a few bugs here and there... nothing that bothers me too much. resource hog... but i'ts beautiful, this one falls on both sides of the track, depending on how good your pc is could have done a lot more with the items, like, a LOT more of them...it just seems like the items are missing something... i'd love to see more new ones introduced, but alas iron lore is dead now iron lore is dead now conclusion: I paid 20 bucks for the whole shabang on steam, downloaded fast, installed easily, and i was up and playing before i could get another beer. I was addicted. This game is worth buying, every cent, even if it were 30-40 dollars rather than 20. I must say I wasn't expecting to be as addicted as I am when i bought it (this is why i wont' by TF2) haha. Expand

    Titan Quest and the Immortal Throne are the King of adventure RPG shoot'em ups. Constant action with changing landscape. Truely selectable character with so many varieties of skills you want to play one of each! 10 out of 10!

    Generally awesome. The graphic is fascinating. The buildings and stuff are amazing (especially babylon and great wall). The skill system is also very convenient. Some people don't like it. But i like it because it is simply easier to manage your skill points and control your skills in battles. First, the mastery system gives a lot more freedom than Diablo 2 skill system because you can combine different sets of skill as you wish. I chose warrior and earth mastery thus battlemage. Another great thing about skill system is that you dont have a lot of active skills which makes choice very difficult. There are a lot of passive skills for you to enhance your active skills which will be used in battle by chance.

    in terms of the armors and weapons, the diversity is amazing (different styles of weapons according to different culture). It is a great game that is underestimated.

    Immortal Throne continues Titan Quest's winning blend of killing, shopping, and strategic decision-making. It's a textbook case of a great expansion.
  2. There is definitely a case that some of the structural improvements and additions should have found inclusion in the original title, but all of them are well thought-out and implemented, adding longevity and replay value to an already deep title.
  3. With hundreds of great new items, some simple but effective new features, and a dozen hours or more of gameplay (which multiplies with the new difficulty levels), any fan of the game will likely find this to be a worthy addition.
