Torchlight II

About a week ago, I bought  a copy of Torchlight 2 from  Steam for $20 and decided to give it a go . As an experienced player of Torchlight 1, I find that the presentation of this game is very similar to that of the first one, with the exceptional of more dungeon exploring and looting. Now that I've spent hours of my leisure time playing this game, I will give you a general thought of my impression on it  When you first start the game, there are 4 classes that you can choose from: The EmberMage,  The Berzerker,  The Engineer, and lastly the Outlander. These are all the typical classes that will fill your RPG roles.

The EmberMage is basically just your range caster or mage. The Berzerker is a melee brawler and they utilizes beast magic. The engineer is a tank/support character that can play the role of an upfront tank or a healer. Lastly, the Outlander(my favourite class) are your ranger DPS(damage per second) with massive damage output .

One interesting aspect of Torchlight 2 and the world of action RPG is the new pet system.. The pets are sort of the second inventory slot, and you can essentially put items that would fill up your inventory normally in your pet inventory. In addition to that, you can send your pet to town and sell those item while you are in a combat! How amazing is that? They also provided us a great selection of pet to chose from, and not being limited to 2 or 3 different kinds but 8! You can select either a panther, bulldog, ferret,wolf, cat, papillon, chakawary or a hawk as one of your companion that will battle alongside you.

One thing that challenges me about this game is the fact that you can select different difficulty level. If you think that you are unstoppable and find that this game is too easy, how about you give the Elite difficulty level a go? Unlike Torchlight 1, here you can play co-op with your best mates and other people instead of soloing dungeons by yourself. Come on, who play games alone these days? However, if that is what you prefer, you are also given the 'Single player" choice. I myself prefer the co-op system whereby training, crafting and adventuring the world together and meet more people.

Multiplayer Co-op is available
