The classes in Torchlight II aren’t super unique with a Ranger class in the Outlander, Melee classes are Engineer and Berserker, while the Magic class is the Embermage. In the character creator, you also pick your pet and your class. The character creator is pretty basic, you can choose from a few options, such as hair, hair color, gender, face type. Though the story could be quite epic, I treated this game, like I do with most ARPGs, by focusing instead on looting, leveling, and slaying of various evils that get in my way. The story is broken into four acts and has some good voice acting and animated cut-scenes. Torchlight II has a story where you play a hero and have to save the world of Torchlight from the chaos bestowed upon it by an evil Alchemist. With the console port having just released on September 3, 2019, Torchlight II has arisen from the depths of the shadows to compete in the race of memorable ARPGs, along with Diablo III and Path of Exile – who both have similar styles. Torchlight II is an amazing game, that I’ve put a decent amount of hours into on PC, simply playing with mods, and I’m willing to do that all over again “vanilla” on the Xbox One. Torchlight II boasts a much more colorful palette for their environments and also let you choose an overpowered pet that seems to be invincible compared to the pets in its predecessor. Originally published by the now-defunct Runic Games, Torchlight II is now under the publication of Perfect World, and ported by Panic Button. I wish Runic would fix this but I'm not getting my hopes up.Torchlight II has been one of those top-down ARPGs I just happened to love because it was something different from Diablo, but at the same time was just like it. I'm still sad to know that the defensive mechanics are ass and that I need to stack a hard to find (at least for new players) stat to even stand a chance at elite. I was running around in circles when fighting bosses, letting my minions do the damage and take the damage - pretty pathetic. The only thing that made me finish the game was Shadow Burst (because pots wouldn't recover in time), Wolf Shade and the Summon Archers spell. Then I tried to stack life, but it made no practical difference. I tried to stack armour, but then learned that it is a broken stat. I was seriously losing 1/3 of my life in a single hit and it made the game nearly unplayable. I can safely say that if I didn't take up Shadow Burst, I would not have been able to finish the game. Didn't want to use mods or build guides for my 1st playthrough so I ended up taking Eviscerate (seemed like a good AoE) and Shadow Burst. Can't really say I had a good time because I was getting mauled by every single mob - even the small ones. I beat the game for the first time yesterday with a dual-claw Berserker on Veteran.
