Torchlight Ii

Author: Games, Runic
Torchlight II is a very simple game. The developers have taken all of the good elements from the previous game they worked on – Diablo II, and returned with a light-hearted and casual atmosphere. As with any action RPG, the foundation of the game is loot and satisfaction. With a team of up to four others, players run through various quests, completing randomly generated dungeons and leveling one of four classes. So far, nothing too special, but it's the elegance with which the game progresses which lends it so well to the mass market. At first, you'll be spending skill points randomly, equipping the loot that looks best, not worrying too much about DPS. As you get deeper into the game, however, that doesn't cut. Things ramp up significantly, and you have to start thinking about your spec, working as a team, and slamming your way through waves of mobs. A combination of varied monsters, great environment design, and classic level up elements make this game a perfect fantasy ARPG.
