For the most part I went with the Outlander, as a gunslinger with a magical throwing glaive just appeals to me. Prepare for me to gush from now on, starting with the player characters. So, bad point out the way first and not everyone will care about the plot in an Action RPG. The fact that the plot is basically “bad guy’s causing trouble, go get ‘im” is almost incidental. Your character never talks, even by text, there are no constant allies, and consequently there are no attachments to dig you into the world.

Runic have clearly put thought into creating their world, but you never feel a part of it. Sadly I have to report that the same is basically true of Torchlight II as well. If you didn’t recognise any of that story, it’s because it barely made any impact in Torchlight. Now new heroes must arise to stop him – the animalistic Berserker, the monocled Engineer, the magical Embermage, and the gunslinging Outlander. After killing the Vanquisher and wounding the Destroyer, the Alchemist is now wreaking a path of destruction across the world to desperately find a cure, even if it means taking down the godlike Guardians to do so. The defeat of Ordrak in Torchlight by the three heroes known as the Vanquisher, the Alchemist, and the Destroyer was supposed to end the disease called Ember Blight but the Alchemist became infected with it. I love the smell of Egyptian steampunk machinery in the morning I’ll stop mentioning That Other Game and That Other Developer now. Shall we look closer? Oh wow, there’s a mouse wheel Zoom function, suck on that Blizzard. Honestly, for £14.99 there’s an astonishing amount on offer here.

Longer answer: yes, because it’s very good, cheaper, and like the Diablo III moaners will tell you it can be played offline (although irony struck the first day when Runic’s website went offline and no one could play co-op, although it seems to be sorted out now). Does the sequel to Torchlight have a chance now that the itch is no longer present?
Fast forward to September 2012 however and we’re living in the Impossibly Far Distant Future, otherwise known as “Post Diablo III (and Duke Nukem Forever)”. Compelling Action RPGs are more difficult to produce than they appear, and in Torchlight Runic Games captured the addictive quality not really seen since Diablo II - which wasn’t surprising since several of their designers worked on the series. When Torchlight came out in 2009 it scratched an itch all the fans patiently waiting for Diablo III were familiar with.
