Torchlight ii reviews full#

I liked the champion packs in D3, but I didn't see those battles as actual battles as much as me just running around kiting the mobs as I AoE'd them to death. Additionally the mobs are a lot better in TL2, each different mob has it's own ability to attack you in different ways, and if you're not paying attention they will destroy you. The levels have some elevation in them, and don't just feel like a giant rectangle that I have to explore, the paths in TL2 are less structured.

The environments in TL2 and the enemies are just more dynamic. And I couldn't help but laugh when I kicked over a skull and had 20 gold piles drop. I will say that the story in D3 drove me a little more than TL2, in TL2 I'm pretty much just looking to kill the next big thing and see what I get. In TL2 every drop might be something great that you can use, thus it drives you to keep wanting to whack baddies, in D3 the only way to get useful upgrades was the AH. Now playing Torchlight 2 I can see some of flaws that bothered me with D3 more. I played Diablo 3 for a good 60+ hours and had fun with it, but in the end it just felt forced.

The bosses in this game are GLORIOUS! Definitely play on a higher difficulty setting to get the full experience out of the huge battles! If you find yourself hung up between the choice of D3 and TL2, there's absolutely no reason for you to pass up the latter opportunity to save money AND get yourself and three buddies into a world of adventure, loot and a pretty great story. It's not often that I love a game from the moment I pick it up but Torchlight was one of them and I look forward to spending many hours sorting through loot and bashing through a huge variety of enemies alongside my friends. There's also the option to buy a four pack for $40(AUD) and you get to give away three copies to your friends to play with! Every character is unique and you tailor them to YOUR LIKING! You don't have to play the exact same character everyone else does with nary more than a different coat of paint!Īt one fifth of the price of D3, this game is a must buy for any dungeon crawler fans out there.

And I actually managed to log into the MP on my first day with no hassles and NO LAG! Even better is that game does not hold your hand and treat you like a brainless moron that can't plan stat and ability choices. Torchlight 2's multiplayer is by and far the best multiplayer experience I've had this year. Of course, that's because Runic is built from team members that left Blizzard to make this game in stead. This game does everything Diablo 3 tried to do and adds a level of complexity that was stripped a way in favor of mass appeal that did naught but alienate fans of the genre and of Diablo 2.
