This is first and foremost because there are more classes that are more well thought out and because there’s a lot of travel involved and MANY dungeons, not just the one. If anything, initial impressions will have you thinking Diablo 2 in 3D. And of course the sequel does many things the same and a number of things different. While they had a lot of extra stuff going on under the hood, it was basically just Diablo in 3D. Oh sure, there were plenty of other things like bonus dungeons, secret rooms, a plot, and clearly there was more than just the one boss, but you get the idea. Beyond that, though, the formula was effectively the same: delve deeper and deeper into a seemingly endless dungeon fighting wave after wave of baddies all the while leveling up and collecting a ridiculous amount of loot until you fight the ultra mega mega boss, then that’s it. The original Torchlight was basically Diablo, but in 3D with a few minor tweaks here and there like fishing and the ability to have a pet that would not only help in combat, but also go to town to sell stuff for you.
If you enjoyed anything at all about the original Torchlight or any Diablo or Diablo-like game, why you haven’t picked this up already is beyond me. If anything, this speaks volumes about the magnitude of ridiculous content stuffed into this package.
I’ve beaten the game…and I still feel this way. I’ve been wanting to review this one for a while, but never felt like I had enough content to do so.
