Torchlight also doesn’t shy away from being difficult if you are under-leveled for an area don’t expect to last long in that dungeon.

The wide variety of weapons gives you plenty of ways to go, From Swords to Guns. You roam every inch of the map, clearing enemies and collecting loot. The gameplay loop is as addicting as its always been. Navigating it all is undoubtedly something intended for a mouse and keyboard. Going through inventory and checking your stats can be daunting at first, considering just how much is on screen at any given point. If this game looked like other games from 2012, it would probably be an even bigger mess than it’s menu issues mentioned before. It’s something that helps keep the game fresh. From world-building to simple charm, it doesn’t get much better than the stylized world that was created way back when. That being said, the art style of Torchlight 2 does a lot of the heavy lifting. The game also doesn’t look fantastic graphically, that might seem obvious because it’s a game from 2012, but when your Switch is undocked, some text on menus are tough to see, and overlay can look jumbled at times. The console limitations are present, and while it doesn’t hinder the game, it does impede some quality of life mechanics. That being said, you probably aren’t coming to Torchlight 2 on the Switch for its in-depth gameplay and strategy, most likely you’ll just play it on PC. Clearing dungeons and finding new quest givers is easy and thoughtless. Just like many people’s reaction when playing a game on their phone, I need to pass the time on my bus ride or waiting for an appointment. In the best way, I can simply turn on my switch jump into the game and kill some beasts. I’d consider Torchlight 2 on the Switch a great time killer. Minimal interruptions while I slaughter every monster in sight, waiting for that next significant drop. This game doesn’t reinvent any wheels it doubles down on what makes loot hunting games so enjoyable.

And its successor Torchlight 2 not long after. Well, around the boom of games like Diablo and Borderlands came Torchlight. And if they do, there is an even better chance that those items have a colored tier system for loot.

Developer: Runic Games/Panic Button GamesĪlmost every game today has some sort of loot system.
