    If you can brush aside the lack of single console multiplayer, Torchlight II remains an addictive action-RPG experience. The combat system isn't needlessly complicated, but it remains engaging due to the ease with which you can access each of your powers and the depth of the skill trees for each class. The loot is plentiful, and the ability to sell or use everything almost immediately means that you aren't going to pass up loot like you would in other titles.

    When compared with the plentiful amount of action-RPGs already on the Nintendo Switch Torchlight II can seem like a bit of an afterthought. But while its story has a poor endgame, it offers a cute aesthetic with plenty of charm. Panic Button has done a great job once again with porting, and those new to the genre will find plenty to entertain at a fair price.

    There is not a whole lot to talk about with Torchlight II. It is a phenomenal game that has taken far too long to bring to consoles. It came and went with little fanfare, which is a shame. Outside of Diablo III this is probably the best action-RPG currently available anywhere. Do not miss out on this exemplary title. It is a shame that the new Torchlight is not a continuation of the formula, but considering the quality of the first two games I will give anything bearing the namesake a shot.

    Torchlight II is still an impressive action RPG after all these years. While it’s clear it borrows some elements from the Diablo series, the game still has a lot of original quirks and the classes are fun to mess around with. The console versions do not come without a few bugs, but we are quite sure these will get patched in the near future. If you loved this release on the PC and you now want to play it on the go, the Switch version proves to be a lot of fun.

    Released at roughly the same time, Torchlight II shows just how much Diablo III has improved since launch, and the level of effort put into its console ports. While Diablo III is absolutely impeccable on console, Torchlight II feels neutered and a bit stunted. It doesn’t feel like it’s had the level of care it deserves. Still, it’s a good game at its core. It’s just no longer the serious contender to Diablo’s action RPG crown that it once was.

    In the seven years since Torchlight II was released, dungeon crawlers have both evolved into a more complex genre and toyed with mechanics pulled from outside them, such as roguelikes. However, complicated doesn’t always mean better and it’s hard to deny Torchlight II’s addictive and immediately accessible gameplay and overall, it seems like a natural fit for the Nintendo Switch.

    Torchlight II

    Torchlight and torchlight 2 are the games up there on my list. I played both on pc and had soooo much fun with single player torchlight and the multiplayer torchlight 2. Soo having bought a switch, i tried to play it there too. And it's just as much fun as it is on pc. I just had to adjust for a while with controls cos i was so used to the keyboard, the switch joycons was like playing back to square one.

    This is my first time playing a Torchlight game and I have to say it is better that I expected. I was looking for a game that help me use more my Switch and I thing i nailed it with this one. Hack and slach with lots of loot. Plany quest to do. Good game if your looking to play it hand held. Zoom option. Online and offline play. And best of all the price is reasonable compared with other game of the same style.

    The only thing that is missing here is more updates, more content more Torchlight 2!

    Put simply, it is the best "Diablo clone" that has ever been made.

    It's more Diablo than Diablo III

    Arguably the best Diablo since Diablo II (Diablo III at launch is sh\*t). Torchlight 2 solved a lot of problems it had with its predecessor, adding a multiplayer is such a huge selling point for me. Having the option to play solo offline, local multiplayer through LAN or through online matchmaking is what made me choose TL2 over Diablo III. Mod support for this game is overwhelming, from simple UI changes to gameplay improvements like adding controller support and staggering changes like adding dozens of whole new contents to the game such as new characters, pets and even whole towns with their own unique NPCs, dungeons, monsters and so much more! There's literally countless hours to invest into this game, and you won't regret buying it, it only costs half the price of many other comparable games.
