If you’re new to this genre, get used to this because this is pretty much Torchlight II in a nutshell. This is one of those instances where if you are familiar with this type of game and enjoy it, you’ll enjoy that aspect of Torchlight II as it’s basically more of the same. If you’ve played similar games you know the deal: get a quest, go into a dungeon, defeat enemies, collect loot, defeat the “boss” of that dungeon, collect quest item/rescue someone, leave, and go back to the quest giver (in most instances). A lot of the quests you’re given will take you down into dungeons scattered around the different areas and the maps themselves are randomly generated. Because of this I just decided to bind the individual potions.Īs you progress you’ll encounter many different quest givers whether they’re in town or just standing around somewhere in the open.
TORCHLIGHT II SWITCH REVIEW PLUS
Not sure why as I had regular health potions, plus there are options to bind rejuvenation potions using the lowest and highest criteria. When I tried this, for some reason it binded my rejuvenation potions instead. For instance, if you have a regular health potion and five big health potions, binding a button to the lowest health potion will bind that single regular health potion until it’s used up, then move onto the big health potion. Aside from choosing specific potions to bind to the buttons you can also have the game bind the highest or lowest potions of each type. I did notice a bit of a quirk with this, at least when it comes to potions. To these buttons you can map any skills, spells, potions, and fish…yes, fish…that you have.
Also, one of the pets is a Headcrab from Half Life and you really can’t go wrong with a pet Headcrab.Īll of your major actions and items can be mapped to any of eight buttons including the four face buttons and all four L and R buttons. Finally, you can choose a pet which may not seem like a big deal, but your pet will become a valuable asset throughout your adventure.
Thankfully you don’t have to unlock the skills in any particular order as long as you meet any level requirement for what you want to use. It’s worth noting however that some skills you can only put so many points into before you have to reach a certain skill level to put another one into, so if you really want to rapidly power up an Embermage’s Fire Spear skill, you won’t get very far until you level up quite a bit, so you might want to decide where else to put those skill points. Most of the skills will have tiers that you’ll unlock once you put a few skill points into it, granting you certain bonuses. Each class has three different skill trees that they can spend skill points into with multiple skills in each tree. Torchlight II begins with players creating their character by choosing one of four classes: Engineer, Outlander, Berserker, or Embermage.
(NOTE: As of the time of this review, some bugs that were present when the game was launched have since been patched.)
That said, let’s take a look at the Nintendo Switch version of Torchlight II and see if it still holds up today. Now its several years later and Torchlight II has been released on consoles, so what better time to get back into the game than now.
TORCHLIGHT II SWITCH REVIEW PC
A few years later Torchlight II launched on PC and I pretty much picked it up on day one and enjoyed the heck out of that as well. I picked it up, ran through it, and thoroughly enjoyed it as it did remind me a lot of the Diablo games. I remember a friend recommending it to me as I’m a huge fan of Diablo II and that the two games are very similar. It’s been almost ten years since the release of the original Torchlight on the PC.
