Titan Quest 2 Early Access Delivers Mythic Style and Clever Class Combos — But the Combat Feels Too Tame
Titan Quest 2 is available in early access; it’s an isometric action RPG developed by Grimlore Games and published by THQ Nordic. The game is a sequel to 2006’s Titan Quest, set in a world inspired by Greek mythology, and it keeps familiar ARPG features like skill trees, gear drops, and class-driven builds.

What Titan Quest 2 offers
First, the basics: Titan Quest 2 runs as an early access release. It uses an isometric camera and traditional ARPG mechanics. Players pick two masteries and combine them to build a character. In addition, the game features skill trees, randomized gear with affixes, and a setting that includes mythological enemies and figures like the goddess Nemesis and the god Pan.
Combat and pacing
Early access impressions report that combat leans toward a slower, more measured rhythm. Consequently, fights often require careful positioning and management of dash abilities. Encounters have been described as balanced in that they generally respect a character’s limits: enemy groups are rarely overwhelming, and enemy attack rotations tend to be simple.
However, some players and early reviewers note that combat escalation is limited. After multiple hours of play, the sense of spectacle common to many ARPGs — such as clearing large rooms with a few powerful skills — is less frequent. Instead, interactions often rely on steady skill usage, occasional summons, and targeted hits rather than large, dramatic bursts of destruction.
Class system and accessibility
The dual-mastery system is a focal point. You choose two masteries and combine their abilities to create a unique build. For example, one described combination mixes Rogue-style tools with elemental Storm effects to use both poison bombs and ice magic. Because of the smaller set of simultaneous options and simpler enemy behaviors, the game can feel approachable for newer ARPG players.
Early access playtime details
In one early access report, the writer logged about 10 hours when commenting on combat pacing, and later spent roughly 15 hours exploring more content. During that time they explored the Flooded Farmlands and farmed about 90 Embers of Night while testing different masteries and builds. These playtime figures reflect early impressions rather than a final, complete view of the game.
Who this early access might suit
Based on early access observations, the game may appeal to players who value narrative and class experimentation over high-octane crowd-clearing spectacle. Meanwhile, those seeking fast-paced, intensely explosive ARPG combat may find Titan Quest 2’s current early access pacing more deliberate.
