Five months after its release, Torchlight 3 is introducing a new class, the Cursed Captain, which joins the hallowed archetypes of Steampunk Robot, Tortured Crystal Wizard, and Train Summoner.

Announced in a Steam post, the Cursed Captain brings the real summoner, minion master, and necromancer archetypes to Torchlight 3. Its class weapon, the cannon, protects the undead crew, cannonmen, riflemen, and the all-important first mate from enemies while they fight on the front lines. Another of the captain's specialties is based on cursed magic and explosives, which summons cannons from nearby (ghost) flagships. The captain powers up his abilities with a currency called doubloons, which must be looted from treasures and monsters during battle.

Cursed Captains will be coming to Torchlight 3 in the spring update, adding over 40 new pets, a revamped UI, and castle decorations. It will also allow game instances to be reset.

We enjoyed Torchlight 3's combat enough to give it a high score in our review, but we didn't call it the return of isometric action. If you want a good old-fashioned dungeon-exploring power trip, Torchlight 3 will deliver that feeling in spades. So if you want to be a ghost pirate captain, this is the one to look forward to.
