You run around completing quests and slaying monsters to obtain loot, experience, and level up your character. Just like other action RPG’s, Torchlight II is played from the isometric perspective. The story is clearly just a backdrop for the gameplay which, thankfully, is addictive and fun from beginning to end. With that said, the voice work is nothing special and it seems that only the story quests contain voice acted dialogue. The cut scenes, themselves, are okay but I do kind of wish there was more of them because it’s very tempting to skip the dialogue boxes when interacting with NPCs. The story plays out through acts and in between each act is normally an animated cut scene. Both games include a character from the original that become the antagonist. Actually, the plot is very similar to Diablo II’s plot. I knew The Alchemist was the bad guy and that’s about it. I’m going to be honest, I had to look up a plot summary because the story just isn’t interesting. The Alchemist then destroys the town of Torchlight and plans to use Ordrak’s power to disrupt the balance between the world’s six elements. Apparently, The Alchemist, who was playable character in the first game, has become corrupted by the Ember Blight coming from the Heart of Ordrak who was the original game’s antagonist. The story takes place years after the events of the original Torchlight. I know development of the original Torchlight was led by some of the guys who were behind the original Diablo and Diablo II and in many ways, the evolution of Torchlight to Torchlight II kind of mirrors Diablo’s evolution to Diablo II. I played the Steam version of the game and downloaded the Steam Workshop version of the SynergiesMOD but you can also download the mod from Moddb. This review will also cover the SynergiesMOD which is best described as a complete overhaul that includes re-balanced gameplay and tons of new content. And unlike the original game, this never made it to console. Developed and published by Runic Games, Torchlight II was released for PC in September, 2012. After that, I explored more games in the genre and so far I’ve only beaten the original Diablo and Diablo III. Something about it just got me hooked and I plowed through it in about two days. Torchlight was the first action RPG I actually completed. At the time, I had played Diablo and Diablo II but never beat either. If you don’t have a moderately strong computer, you might have no choice but to skip this one.Before the original Torchlight, I had a passing interest in the action RPG genre. Additionally, this mod may kill a lot of players’ framerate, because you’ll often run into literal hordes of enemies ranging in the dozens, which, unless you have a crazy powerful computer, is going to bring the game to a halt at times. However, this mod may be problematic for some, because it makes the game quite a bit harder, being balanced around the harder difficulties. Of all the mods on this list, this is objectively the most important, because without it you’re missing out on a lot of crazy cool content. In addition to three new classes, the mod adds new towns, new dungeons, and even revamps new game plus, adding new content to the higher tiers of playthroughs, such as unique legendary weapons, new awesome looking armors, and even new bosses. The Synergies mod might as well be considered an expansion pack for the game, considering it adds a ludicrous amount of original content while also reworking vanilla content. This is probably the most important mod on this list, because it is enormous. ![]()
