The Engineer normally wields some sort of two-handed weapon and smacks foes, but can summon/build a number of robotic companions to help them on the journey while gaining armor bonuses and protection when to standing right in the face of danger. The Berserker likes to get all close and personal with the opposition, but in order to not do so unprotected he can make use of wolf spirits that increase his ferociousness for heavier and faster strikes, freeze the opposition, or become a shadowy figure the avoid being struck while healing themselves at the same time. The Embermage can be best described as the classic fantasy mage, using various elemental spells that incorporate ice, fire, and lightning into a world of hurt for the opponent. Every class in the game comes with three skill trees that all have a total of ten skills, seven of which are active skills that heal, buff, debuff, damage or summon when the button you assigned the skill to is pressed, while three of the skills are passive skills providing some bonus that the class overall can benefit from. With that “Torchlight II” introduces four new classes to pick from at the beginning of the game. ![]() The character select screen, with four classes at your disposal and a free panda already waiting for you. So, to keep Ordrak from fulfilling his plans this time around, we need to stop him and for that, we need some new classes since the old ones are pretty much all dead and gone.

After the heroes from the first “Torchlight” managed to stop the big bad evil in form of Ordrak from doing anything silly, they rejoyce thinking that the danger has passed only for the Alchemist to be corrupted by the Heart of Ordrak, fetching himself some new power armor and becoming the new big bad evil to stop. So, let us take a look at the sequel to a highly promising title back in the day.īut before we get to the meat of the article, let us get the story out of the way real quick because in this genre it is mostly a necessity to get you from point A to point B, nothing more. I even 100% completed the Steam achievements for “Torchlight II”, such was my fascination with the title and my willingness to throw hours of my life at it. ![]() In fact, I played “Torchlight II”, which I got back in the day during a sale for an absolute steal of a price, before I touched any of the other titles in the franchise. Lucky for me, “Torchlight II” is actually a good game, no need to beat around the bush with that. As I have surely mentioned before, I like to play all games from franchises I give a go, both to see how the game series in question has developed over time, but also due to a personal, and somewhat silly, sense of completionism.

And here we are again: After about one year since I talked about “Torchlight”, the cartoony steampunk action role-playing game, I finally managed to get around to write the article about “Torchlight II” for Blaugust 2022. ![]()
