I like how they rip through targets and bounce around, spreading poison everywhere.
I really took a shine to the Outlander’s glaives, and I’m thinking about specializing in them. There isn’t much ado before getting right into a questing area, which has that stylized World of Warcraft feel to it as I go about killing, looting, and killing some more. It’s all quite familiar with Diablo controls and MMO questing. I also picked a bulldog as a pet and veteran difficulty.įrom the get-go, I get the feeling that there’s going to be a very low learning curve to Torchlight II. I’m going with an Outlander for this playthrough, because two guns is cool. It was so well-liked, in fact, that it’s still being ported to various consoles and has more popularity around it than the newly released Torchlight III. The well-received follow-up to Torchlight, a colorful Diablo clone that came out in 2009, the sequel improved the formula across the board. I need variety! I need a palette cleanser! I need… an ARPG I’ve never played before! If I do too many of similar-genre games in a row - adventure or RPG or what have you - it starts to drag me down. While I’m sure that none of you care very much about this, the pattern of retro games that I play for this series matters a lot to my temperament. You can follow the entire series on the Retro Gaming page.) (This is part of my journey going playing through 2012’s Torchlight II.
