*Warning: Spoilers* Slight improvement over the previous game.
I liked Torchlight II. It took all the good aspects of the first game and implemented them in a fresh new story, this time with a big semi-open world to explore, instead of just a mineshaft that goes down endlessly.
In Torchlight II, the story picks up where the first game ended. The Alchemist (playable character from the first game) has gone mad after collecting too much ember and destroyed the whole town of Torchlight. In Torchlight II, it is your job to find and stop the Alchemist before he destroys the whole world.
Along the way, you meet new characters and quest givers that help you in your quest against the Alchemist. In the end, Torchlight II has the classic villain-hero story that we all know and love.
The game offers some new features and improvements. In the core, it is still the same dungeon crawler RPG as the first game with randomly generated dungeons, endless hordes of monsters and loot and various quests. You can now choose a lot more different classes like the Berserker, Ember mage, Engineer and Outlander. There are also new pets available, and you can now customize your character.
Some differences in gameplay are the item restrictions. In other parts, you could wield any item with any class. Here, you sometimes pick up items for other classes that you cannot use. There are also more secret rooms that are sometimes very well hidden.
The boss fights are greatly done and require some skill and tactics to beat. The overall length of the game is also great, and you get a lot of playtime for your hard-earned money.
To sum up the rest of the game, it is just exploring, killing monsters, collecting loot, upgrade your character and have fun.
Although Torchlight II improved and added some elements, it is still roughly the same game. However, at launch (and still today) the game was very reasonably priced, making this no issue at all. The game is just a simple but fun hack and slash RPG, based on the Fate games.
I would definitely recommend Torchlight II to everyone.
