The incredibly diverse assortment of characters, monsters, items and environments share a sleek, comic style. The entire world has a soft, painted quality to it, with vibrant, cleanly separated colors that give it an animated look. In contrast to the gritty realism that many games strive for, the colorful art direction in Torchlight 2 immediately arrests your attention upon from the moment you start the game. I will be reviewing the single player campaign only the game features online multiplayer, but that’s an entirely different beast.
It expands on a playful pulp-comic visual style and satisfyingly frenetic, yet subtly strategic, combat of the original game, while offering some new twists and polishing a lot of the clunkier mechanics. While you don’t need to have played the original to enjoy this sequel, Torchlight 2 dramatically improves just about every aspect of its predecessor. That sums up my experience with Torchlight 2, an action role-playing game and the sequel to Runic Games’ Torchlight. After fighting my way through a horde of armored war-beasts, greedily snatching fallen gold and weapons and narrowly avoiding death, I looked to my clock and realized with surprise that two hours had passed.
