The speed with which your weapon swings on each click is dictated by the weight of your equipment. Clicking on an open patch of land will prompt your character to move to that space, while doing so over a creature will have your hero attack it. You can stash items in either a personal trunk or one that can be shared across additional player-made characters.Ĭombat has largely been left untouched so expect to continually click the mouse buttons for hours on end. Apart from profiting off unwanted gear, other city services include removing socketable gems from equipment (and vice versa), transmutation, enchantment and a vendor that specializes in selling random, unidentified items that require a Identify Scroll to determine their worth. If ever you need to speed back to town to take a break from combat, deliver a mission specific item, buy supplies or sell off surplus equipment a teleportation scroll can take you to the closest major city. You’ll do a lot of moving around in the overworld but the majority of the action takes place within a series of randomly generated dungeons filled to the brim with monsters and bosses. Now that Ordrak and the Alchemist have become a global threat, the world itself acts as the central hub with dungeon entrances scattered all over the map. One of the game’s most noticeable differences is that the story no longer takes place within a centralized, multi-layered dungeon. A skill tree opens your character up to additional abilities that are incredibly useful as long as you invest in them. For example, my Engineer is wildly proficient in two handed weapons but as long as I have the correct level and stat requirements I am free to use daggers, swords, guns, wands and magic spells. The game begins with character creation and although there are a few of different classes to choose from with their own unique abilities, you have the freedom to branch out a bit. Torchlight II will be instantly familiar to those who have played the last game.įor the rest, the structure of the game is built around completing a series of quests that advance the story or fulfill certain non-essential tasks and duties both of which yield familiar rewards: loot, cash and experience points. In the wake of this new terror, the time is nigh for a new hero to rise and stop Ordrak as he seeks to destroy the four elemental Guardians. Torchlight is destroyed and the forces of good are scattered.
Sadly, evil is never truly vanquished and Ordrak’s return is heralded by the presence of a corrupted Alric who takes on the appearance of a giant, hulking Sauron-like figure. Torchlight II opens after the events of the first game, with the hero clearing out the Torchlight ember mine by vanquishing the vile Ordrak and his puppet, the alchemist Alric.
