In my Switch version, I had the option of choosing the unicorn as a special pet (exclusive to the Switch), and who doesn’t love mystical unicorns. What’s interesting about Torchlight II is that you’ll also have a pet that will aid you in your quest of looting bountiful chests and busting down the toughest of monsters. The customization doesn’t end with character creation. With only being able to customize my character’s gender, face, and hair, I was a bit underwhelmed, but it’s not about looks, but about loot and functionality. To begin my first playthrough, I chose and customized the Embermage, trained in the arcane arts and capable of turning the biggest monsters into piles of ash. Each with their own set of skills and attributes, you’ll still be able to add on your finishing touches to whichever class you choose by equipping armor and adding mods to them. There are four classes to choose from: the Embermage, Berserker, Engineer, and Outlander. Yes, I know, we’ve seen customization in other games, but Torchlight II makes the choices simple. Upon starting the game, I arrived at the class selection and customization screen where I customized my character. You can even detach the joycons and play in the most comfortable ways possible without feeling at a disadvantage. Taking advantage of the Switch’s form factor, the developers, Runic Games and Panic Button, have made skill binding and upgrading as easy as possible. The controls are tight and offer good feedback when fighting mobs of monsters, sorting through the many submenus, and searching the many, many locations for treasure. With hordes of monsters chomping at the bit to sink their teeth and claws into your customized character, you’ll undoubtedly use every magical skill and bone-breaking weapon to destroy them.Īs one Last Surprise, Atlus announces DLC for Persona 3 Reload Torchlight II is a fast-paced, monster crushing, dungeon-crawling action-RPG that’s filled with secret locations, countless enemies, plenty of side quests, and loot around every corridor, dungeon, hillside, and mystical location. If this is your first-time playing, you are going to be amazed at the level of graphical detail, gameplay attention, and dedication this game invests in its dungeon-crawling world on a new platform. With its release on the Nintendo Switch, the game has never felt more at home. Torchlight II is back, and its torch continues to burn bright on every platform it releases on. With its abundance of loot to collect, open world level design, multi-tiered character leveling system, and its ability to make the player feel like they are an integral part of the gameplay, it only makes sense that this iconic game makes its way to the Nintendo Switch. I have spent countless hours playing dungeon crawlers, but none can hold a candle to Torchlight II. Torchlight II is a game that has proven that, in a genre full of copycats and clones, it holds the crown. Dungeon crawlers are nothing new in gaming, but only the best tend to stand the test of time, as it takes more than an open world and myriad of advancing enemies to keep players coming back to a familiar world.
