The world definitely feels different than the Diablo games. The Engineer, for example, is kind of a Steampunk Brawler who can go for maximum tankiness or overwhelming force, or can focus on gadgets and steam powered tech. There are four playable classes - Berserker, Embermage, Engineer and Outlander - and they all fit into general roles while also being able to spec into more specific archetypes. Well, for starters, itвЂ™s actually more like Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 - the four playable classes each have three talent trees, and if you played Diablo 2 youвЂ™ll understand them pretty quickly. And unlike that game, everyone gets a pet in Torchlight 2. If youвЂ™ve played a Hunter in World of Warcraft, itвЂ™s similar. It can fight by your side, and can even be set to be an attack pet or a defending pet, and you can even tell it not to fight. Pets can not only go to the store and sell off your unwanted items, they can even buy things for you, so if youвЂ™re low on potions? Yep, the pet can actually go back to town and buy more for you while you keep rampaging through the dungeon.

The pet is something really unique to the series - although itвЂ™s an expansion of a similar pet from Fate, also designed by Travis Baldree - and it can do all sorts of cool things that make it a welcome companion. The best thing about the game is the pet. ThereвЂ™s nothing wrong with the debut game, but Runic Games (sadly no longer a going studio, but they knocked it out of the park here) made a really excellent sequel that learned from its predecessor and really did some excellent things to set itself above and beyond its origins.Д«ut IвЂ™m not going to kid you here. The music and gameplay will definitely remind you of the older Diablo games, but that doesnвЂ™t make the game feel derivative as much as it just feels like it knows what it is - like its spiritual predecessor Fate, the Torchlight games are firmly at home in that Action RPG space and do a brilliant job of bringing it to life without slavishly aping the big gorilla in the space.ДЄnd frankly, if youвЂ™re going to play a game in this series, Torchlight 2 is a good one to start on. ItвЂ™s not at all the dark, bloody experience of Diablo and thatвЂ™s all to the good.

WhatвЂ™s great about it, whatвЂ™s not as great, why should you be picking up a game that originally came out in 2012 for your console of choice?ДЇirst off, the art style on the Torchlight games is wonderfully unique and manages to be cartoonish in the best way - exaggerated, fun and full of life.

But they definitely arenвЂ™t the same game - Both Torchlight and Torchlight 2 have a very different feel from the Diablo series. How does the game differ from Diablo 3, especially now that both are available on the Switch, Xbox One and Playstation 4? Which is worth your time? Are you going to be mad when I say both are, theyвЂ™re both great games and I love playing both of them? I hope not, because that is the ultimate answer to that question. Torchlight 2 just came to consoles, so letвЂ™s talk about the game and what it brings to the Action RPG genre.
