Unleash your inner beast with the Berserker, fling elemental spells around with the Embermage, rain bullets on your enemies with the Outlander, or fight using fantastic steampunk machines with the Engineer.Ĭhoose the gender of your character and customize his or her appearance. As a result, you can play Torchlight on just about any PC.Torchlight II offers a far more robust character creation system that lets you play as the type of person you would want to be. It is highly scalable, with many bells and whistles that you can turn off, even within netbook mode, which, as the name implies, optimizes the game for use on a netbook. The game isn't demanding when it comes to specifications either. There are also in-game tips and hints, as well as audible cues that reveal what is happening in the game, so it’s relatively easy to get into. Torchlight can even appeal to younger users, since there is an option in the menu to turn off the appearance of blood. I think this was part of Runic’s strategy to make the game more appealing and more accessible to a wider audience. I would say that the graphics in Torchlight are reminiscent of the graphics in titles like Warcraft III or Borderlands. The graphics probably won't be such surprise for players who have dabbled in Diablo III. The graphics have a more cutesy, cartoony look to them than they do in the Diablo games and the graphics are wonderfully colourful, which will most likely turn off fans of the Diablo franchise. They don’t all take place on one plain there are many staircases that amount to levels or stories within a level that you must complete before progressing to the next floor. The levels are also generally more complex and eye-catching than they are in the Diablo games. There are plenty of secrets to be found by looking around for levers that open hidden rooms and the like. The only real variety exists in the enemies, the weapons, and the items in each play-through. Speaking of levels, the ones you will come across in-game are randomly generated, and I must say that they lack variety. This is a welcome change from having to do the same repeatable quests all the time in order to level up. In Torchlight, you obtain quests in a fashion that is similar to Hellgate: London (which is yet another game made by former Blizzard North employees in Flagship), and you can receive multiple quests from the same character. Rather than trekking and battling across massive tracts of land just to reach a cave, everything is all done from one central hub. But Torchlight is similar to Diablo because all the quests tend to take place on descending levels in towers with different themes and enemies to dispatch. Torchlight differs from the Diablo games in that it features a town that acts as a base where you can get quests from characters, sell items, buy items, and prepare for your next adventure. Torchlight is a mix between Diablo and Diablo II. Some even label Torchlight as a spiritual successor to the Diablo series. All the positive changes make sense because Runic is made up of developers who worked on the original Diablo games. Every little niggle that I had about Diablo II has been rectified in Torchlight. It seems as though the developers at Runic thought of everything when they were creating this game.
