![]() Torchlight II was intended to be an MMO in a sense. ![]() ![]() The follow-up, appropriately named Torchlight II, which was released in 2012 on PC is actually sort of a red-headed stepchild of the game development process. I barely played PC games at the time and I really got into the first Torchlight. Torchlight came out in 2009 and offered a combination of slightly lighter hack-n-slash loot-based gameplay with more cartoony graphics with a couple of unique twists (like a pet that can attack but you can also send back to town to sell your excess stuff so you don’t have to leave a dungeon) at an attractive budget price for one heck of a winning combination. Still, a handful of worthy contenders have come along here and there, one, in particular, being the original Torchlight. There have been many attempts to be the “new” Diablo over the years in various forms, but that’s honestly like trying to be the new Mario of platformers the series has been so good for so long it’s nearly impossible. It set the foundation for loot-based dungeon crawling hack-n-slash action RPG adventures. Release Date: September 3rd, 2019 Torchlight II is so brazen in its attempt to be just like seminal game series Diablo that it’s actually kind of charming.ĭiablo is easily one of the most seminal game series of all time. Platforms: Nintendo Switch (version reviewed), PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
