Test, Jeff and I ran through one of the games many random events twice, andīoth times we had a unique experience even if some key elements may have beenįor example, triggering the event the first time involved defeating a number ofĮnemies who were guarding a sarcophagus that we needed to interact with which I shouldn't even have to spell out for you what that means in terms of Torchlight II's replayability. Torchlight II, even something that may seem like a scripted event wont play outĮxactly the same way for two individual players. Runic still has a fourth class up its sleeve, so well anxiously await more info as Torchlight 2 heads toward a 2011 launch.ĭue to the randomized nature of both the interior and exterior areas in While the claws and animal-skull armor are imposing, the class as a whole seems to have fallen fairly close to the action RPG class tree. Though the previous two classes had Runics memorable panache the hammer-wielding, monocle-sporting Railman, and the raja-themed, low-magic Outlander the Berserker gets low marks for creativity and originality. Two of the most memorable abilities from my playsession were wide-area attacks one a charge-up ability unleashed like dragons breath in a damaging cone, the other a charge attack which sent my character leaping into the fray, dealing damage in an small area-of-effect. In keeping with his barbaric nature (my character was a his, though Torchlight 2 will introduce character customization and gender selection to the Torchlight series), the Berserker can call upon animal spirits to aid him in battle. The Berserker does most of his Berserking with mean-looking claws, but Torchlight 2s take on claws is less a slashing Freddy Kruger style, and moreso made for punching and stabbing. To Runics credit, I didnt think about the rough class correlation until I sat down to write this quick impressions piece. I was lucky enough to sit down with this new middle-of-the-frey meleer, and though Barbarian comparisons will be drawn, no dizzying whirlwind attacks or other iconic Diablo attacks were represented. In addition to LAN support (Internet support was a given) and interesting stuff like Events that Sardu mentions elsewhere in this article, Runics big reveal at E3 2011 was the Berserker class.
But what exactly is it about upcoming Torchlight II that should have gamers excited? Lucky enough to save my best appointment at the expo for last.
The original Torchlight is among the all-time greats of the genre, so it was no joke when I met with Vice President of Runic Games, Marsh Lefler, during E3 2011 when I told him that I was Handful of truly great titles in the genre over the years.
