Your left mouse button can be assigned either the default attacks for your equipped weapons, or a specific skill. Leveling up is probably the best and deepest facet of this game.Ĭontrol-wise Torchlight is pretty straightforward. You can even create a wish-list of objects, most likely healing potions or scrolls, and send your pet to buy them in just a couple of minutes. If you find yourself in the verge of not having enough empty space then you can send the pet in the town and have it sell these items gaining you valuable cash. The pet you choose is not just a decorating element it participates in battles, and can be equipped with various tools, something that will not improve its statistics but will also take some weight out of your shoulders as you can put every secondary item you’ll find in its inventory. While creating your character you also get to choose one pet out of eight ranging from dogs or cats to wolves, hawks, or even a sort of mini-Velociraptor, that will accompany you during the game. ![]() You can have up to 13 skills at your fingertips, and combat situations may motivate you to use many of them, as you face ethereal wolves and warriors, heavily armored dwarven automatons, and gargoyles that swoop into the air and come crashing back down. The loot system is as you might expect too, green is a magic item, blue is more powerful, purple is a set item, yellow is a unique item and red is legendary. Each of these 21 skills are also divided into three sub-categories, and also require a certain level of in-game experience to fully unlock.īesides these 21 skills, you can also use 9 passive abilities like powers, Enchantments, or Spells that function without a user command. For every class you get to choose out of 21 skills that require you to reach a certain level in the game to fully unlock. Developing your character is done through 4 basic stats, Strength, Dexterity, Focus and Vitality. You can for example become a Berserker who focuses on summoning and strength of magic rather than speedy DPS. ![]() What makes Torchlight great is that you are never really just limited to these roles, indeed outside the box class construction is supported by different skill trees. These consist of the Embermage, a spellcaster that can control the powers of, fire, ice and thunder, the Berserker, a barbarian warrior that specializes in battles and can call animal spirits to fight by his side, the Engineer a heavyweight warrior who uses cannons and other mechanical equipment, and the Outlander, a flexible fighter that seems to know much about martial arts but has a hint for fighting from a distance and using magic. The game’s scenario is typical and probably forgettable, being there just to introduce you to the game’s world and its frantic action.īefore you begin your quest in Torchlight II you get to choose out of four classes. Torchlight II picks up a few years after the original game, as one of the protagonists from the first game, the Alchemist, has turned evil and is wondering Heart of Ordrak in order to extract power from various magical beings. The game world is still randomized so you’ll find new surprises each time you play. Instead, you’ll travel across a vast open world with numerous towns. Furthermore you are no longer confined to the tunnels below the town of Torchlight. Torchlight II captures all the flavor and excitement of the original game – while expanding the world and adding much needed features, including the additions of online and local co-op, and four new character classes.
