    This is the real Diablo 3 or even Diablo 4. It gets so many things right on a much smaller budget, I got this game and Torchlight 1 for $20. The game is fun, the drops and builds are creative.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить.

    A worthy continuation of the first part, as for me one of the best series of games in this genre, on a par with Diablo and the rest. I was pleased with the new graphics, new classes, levels and stylization, a variety of monsters and loot. A meager set of really useful skills did not upset much, but do not forget about mods and end-game content. Gladly replayed more than once ;)

    в режиме хардкора после смерти персонажа игра заканчивается и там отдельный общий сундук. но файл общего сундука для игры в обычных режимах можно копировать и переименовать под общий сундук для хардкора. с максимальным шмотками хардкор ради ачивки проходится без проблем.
    не радует то, что можно легко запороть билд, если заранее не знаешь, какие таланты брать.
    есть баг, который позволяет делать золото из воздуха, перепродавая торговцу один и тот же стак банок до бесконечности.
    забыл же сказать, в каком-то нг три плюса или около того мире у торговца неизвестностями можно найти кольцо 100 уровня, которое может носить персонаж любого уровня. на это кольцо тоже надо поставить сильные печати на параметры, чтобы выполнить требования для надевания вещей 105 лвл. вещи максимального уровня на только что созданного твинка именно с помощью этих колец и надеваются.
    сюжета особого в игре не заметил, тупо гриндилка, где нужно уничтожать пачки монстров.
    в кооперативном режиме обнаружил баг. если обмениваться с кем-то шмотками. в которых 5 слотов и все забиты камнями, то эти вещи тупо не отображаются в обмене у другого игрока, но после принятия обмена у тебя все равно исчезают. при этом другой игрок их тоже не получает. если не успел сделать копии сохранений или надюпать копии таких вещей, можно вот так через баг их просрать.
    особо редкие предметы - это легендарные щиты и оружия. они светятся красным, в высоких мирах их можно вытянуть у торговцев неизвестностями.
    судя по всему, на консолях у торчлайт 2 особая версия. было обновление какое-то, которое добавило возможность создавать легендарные оружия из пасхальных предметов. вопрос. почему этого нет до сих пор в версии для пк?
    как и в любой рпг комфортность игры зависит от вещей персонажа. в отличие от разного рода донатных помоек жанра мморпг, где на максимальные вещи придется задротить тысячи часов, в этой одиночной рпг с кооперативным режимом я получил все максимальные вещи за несколько сотен часов.
    проблемы: в кооперативе нет игроков, если в настройках игры выбран русский язык, лучше ставить английский. и еще нет игроков. если ты из высоких миров. то есть проходил одним и тем же персонажем игру кучу раз.
    еще ради кооператива пришлось танцы с бубнами плясать с настройками фаервола.    … Expand

    Average game.
    It's an Hack And Slash action rpg....Diablo clone for short..., with cartoonish aesthetic, fast combat, medium lenght story.
    It ins't a AAA title , it does not innovate any aspect of this kind of games (grapichs, gameplay, difficulty, options, variety) but it does his job at a decent price.
    Loot isn't obsessive.
    I played it , ended it and i will probabilly never play it again.

    Покупал эту игру когда-то давно в Steam из-за скидки 80%, но руки дошли поиграть только недавно. В самом начале она меня не затянула, но я заставил себя пройти сюжетные квесты.
    После прохождения всех сюжетных квестов у игрока появляется выбор: или перейти в новый мир, где будет все то же самое, но выше уровнем, или долбить данжи, пропуск в которые можно покупать у НПСа в мастерской карт.

Я выбрал второй вариант, игра превратилась в гринд монстров. Ходим в данжи, повышаем уровень персонажа, прокачиваем ему навыки, копим золото на шмотки. Несколько десятков часов я только тем и занимался, что пытался копить золото и тут же его сливал в никуда. А потом случайно посмотрел одно видео на Youtube и узнал, что в игре есть баг при продаже вещей НПСу, который позволяет делать много золота из воздуха. Причем видео было старым, а баг работает до сих. Благодаря ему я получил удовольствие от игры, ведь смог себе позволить сделать вещи, которые до этого не мог. Истреблять монстров в данжах стало намного комфортнее. Серьезно, спасибо за баг.    … Expand

For those who aren't against top-down, action RPGs but aren't totally into them either, this one may be a miss. It's easy enough to understand, but also not particularly rewarding enough to those who only understand, and don't already mesh with this type of game. Just thought I should mesh-tion that.
    STILL no?
    Come on, that one was decent.
    Fine. If you don't want my sh^tty jokes, then you can have my even sh#ttier opinions.
    Torchlight 2 is Torchlight but more open, and a few refinements. You may find yourself immersed with more character customisation options, nicer menus and UI, much improved world, character and armour design - and I'd like to emphasise that last one. You see, I'm a big patron of the idea that style and design trump graphical fidelity in games, and Torchlight 2 is actually a good example of that. The art itself hasn't much improved since your first wild encounter with it, but the way it's used has definitely seen an increase in quality. Respect, Torchlight 2.
    And to top it all off, there's more pet options here than PETA puts down in a week, and that's saying something. I picked an eagle and made him black so I wouldn't be too obvious in picking the Beagle.
    Now, I was always told if I had nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all, and I think I've said my share of niceties towards this game. It's time to say nothing at all.
    Nothing at all.
    Ha!
    Now let's complain.
    The first thing that comes to mind is that I loathe the boss fights in this game. Loathing isn't a word I like to describe my feelings towards anything but myself, so to use it now - that means something.
    I made no attempt to hide my dissatisfaction with the final boss of the last game, and so it seems they decided to turn that into every boss in this game.
    Seriously, Runic Games? You're gonna be so petty that you'd spite a review that wouldn't even be written until 9-11 years after the fact?
    Typical.
    Or delusional
    One of the two; I always get those mixed up.
    But f#ck me sideways with a butter knife covered in black tar heroin while sizzling on a hot summer's morning in the back of my Mum's dump truck; I hate these boss fights. I'll give exception to the Alchemist and the evil Robin Williams impersonator for limiting, or at least contextualising some of my eagle peeves with fun call-backs. But otherwise, do not play this game if you are like me (sorry to hear that), and dislike the following:
    Infinitely spawning adds, and infinitely spawning adds, and infinitely spawning adds, and infinite loops of this joke. And also marathon level health pools so that you can continue to deal with those infinitely spawning adds, and the infinitely spawning adds, and the infini-
    -you get it.
    Boy, do I love not feeling like I'm having an epic fight with a powerful enemy because I'm actually not. I'm just ignoring his few and forgettable mechanics outright and whittling away at his health every once in a while when I'm once again finished entertaining his kids. And by entertaining his kids, I mean murdering them brutally. I'm not holding my punches here because I have no respect for this type of boss design in general, let alone when it's the only thing that connects ALL the bosses together, moreso than the plot ever could!
    Anyway
    Once again, I picked the mage class and was disappointed that I could no longer create a dedicated summoner build like my character in Light of the Torch numero uno. But, I won't begrudge being pushed to try new class builds. Though I must say, I didn't find the leveling to be as fun as the last game. The scaling of the world and enemies is far superior to the bodacious curve of number 1, but at the cost of slower level gains. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I preferred the more rewarding system of the original, especially considering this game is longer so it's a less for more kinda deal. Like how I use less brains for more words on Metacritic than anyone else.
    Adding to this, the abilities feel less unique and varied, and there are fewer spells to find meaning I just wasn't as happy in the roleplay elements as I've been in the past.
    And maybe this is just because of my new, less... inactive playstyle compared to my summoner build but movement and combat just felt way harder to control this time round. The controls really could use an easy to access button that makes your character ignore enemies where your cursor is so you can actually move without your little idiot trying to attack each of the billion enemies covering your screen, while still having your mouse at the ready. Which you cannot.
    All in all, the only thing I can really say about this game is...

    Dejando el tema visual a un lado, en el Gameplay se hace muy intuitivo sobretodo para los que ya estamos pasados de roscas en este género con lo cual se hace muy fácil de manejar.

    Tiene cosas bastante originales, como la importancia que dan a las mascotas y de que manera puedes "buffarlas" mediante los peces que pescas entre otras cosas.

    El apartado sonoro también es de mencionar muy logrado tanto la banda sonora como el sonido ambiental y de combate.

    Torchligth 2 es un ARPG redondo fomenta la exploración de los niveles y te recompensa bien por ello, el mapa se puede cambiar en diferentes partes de la pantalla y la fluidez de movimientos es exquisita.

    Solo voy a decir algo negativo y es la misión de derrotar a Cacklespit que a mí personalmente se me bugeo y jamás pude hacerla.

    This game is a passable Diablo clone. It was fun to play with friends. The game is initially a bit off-putting because it seems like all you do is click on monsters. However, after putting a few hours into the game you gain a bit more variety in your abilities. This allows you to apply some tactics in the combat and it becomes more interesting.

    great art, models. The Bosses are really well done - the palette has great contrast and looks very attractive.

    Story is missable, though the different environments are nice to look at.

    Skills and RPG system is standard particularly from Diablo, though there are a lot of skills, each have their own use, and can be upgraded or leveled over.

    Music is Diablo II with the enchanting guitar themes. They are all really good passages and I did not dislike the music at all -though the boss fights can get repetitive -though the passages were likable.

    I don't have too many complaints with Torchlight II actually and think it's worth a play through for anyone. However late game you will be ruled by knowing what stats you have; not unlike any other good RPG.    … Expand

The whole game is just going to places and madly left-clicking on your enemies, in addition to spending a good amount of time selling your loot.

    My friend and I decided to quit halfway through, finally admitting we were simply not having any fun. There are hack and slash games I have enjoyed in the past (Diablo, Silver, VtM: Redemption, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn to name a few…), but this one pales in comparison.    … Expand

    A great game with a lot of mods to experiment with. Can provide easily hundreds of hours of fun. No online only / economy BS like Path of Exile. Suprising depth, although strange scaling and character development systems. Playing this in 2020 and still holds up great.

    Sure, it might not reinvent the wheel as built by Diablo II over a decade ago, but Runic deserves props for perfectly recreating the formula. Many others have tried to bring their own take on Diablo to the market-and failed. Runic didn't, which makes Torchlight II an essential purchase for anyone who loves to crawl through dungeons while scoring phat loot.
