So is it already released? And will there be a physical copy?

@@SomeGuy-ee4yq I'm looking and from what I can see there should be a physical copy as well.

[@PokeRetroFan]

Played this game twice and trust me it's a must buy. Also you can do fishing in this game. Fish can be fed to your pets so they can transform into more powerful creatures such as spiders etc with unique attacks. Also your pet can be taught spells and also be sent back to town to sell your items then return to you after a brief time.

[@paghahanapngkaluluwa7432]

I have it on Steam but dont know if it's worth it on Switch without the mods

[@PokeRetroFan]

@@paghahanapngkaluluwa7432 well for the portability yes otherwise no. I have it on steam also but still bought it on the switch mainly because it's been a year since I've played it and I haven't played as all the classes before and I missed a few stuff

[@sashaley4595]

Ty for the tips bro

[@LemmyCaution66]

I played the game for about 250 hours on an older laptop. And guess what I loved eventually more than D3. It’s actually more like D2.

[@RGT85]

250 hours? Beast mode.

[@revenile]

What helps is the fact than some of the devs from Torchlight/Torchlight 2 and the composer worked on Diablo/Diablo 2, including the leads I believe.

[@CommDante]

I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't have couch coop though. This game would really suit it well!

[@golfer435]

Well, Runic is made up primarily of the team that made Diablo 2 so it stands to reason

[@joshua7426]

Lol no its not more like d2 ... its literally exactly like d3

[@ReadGameCraftCook]

Torchlight 2 is more like Diablo 2 I think but I'm very excited for it to unlock as it's one of my favs. I like the depth over D3 as I get bored of D3 very quickly.

[@RobbieRegueiro]

Saviourself you’re correct. Runic games was made up of former D1 & D2 devs

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

@@popolino514 Technically both? Just not the Diablo III we actually GOT. They had a functional prototype of a much more traditional Diablo III circa 2005 or 2006, but due to the growing popularity of WoW Blizzard HQ shut down development on it and, when the time came, decided they wanted to go a more MMO-focused route.

[@GameBirdClassic]

Torchlight 2 is one of my all time favorite ARPGs. At the release of D3 I felt Torchlight 2 was a better game. Since then D3 mad some massive changes and improvements and became a better more content rich game. Torchlight 2 is still fantastic though and I can't wait to jump back in.

[@wearevenom4121]

D3 still doesn't have enough content to beat TL2, hours wise, this game has an endless "actual" endgame, D3 still has no endgame , that's my major complaint, and many, many others. I enjoy both, but TL2 is an overall better ARPG in my opinion.

[@johnkerkalis6310]

Do the enemy groups get bigger as you play like D3? So few enemies on screen.

[@rosedonnapur]

Just downloaded the game it looks amazing can’t wait to play it

[@cmoore1369]

I have played hundreds of hours of Torchlight 1 and 2. 3 not so much…unless a miracle happens. But I’m still shocked at how good this runs on my OLED! The only compromise they made was the mods and GUTS tools.

[@TadTalks]

I love Torchlight 2. Glad to see it's heading to consoles. I've spent more time fishing in the game than I'd care to admit. lol

[@yurielbejiga5560]

Still playing Torchlight 2 in my crappy laptop since this game does not require much. Glad to have this experience on the go through the switch!

[@bryansharpe]

Played so much of this game on PC when it launched... Waiting for it to download! I can't wait. Thanks for showcasing it RGT they are releasing a new one and I hope that if it does well they will continue this underrated series!

[@ithydoodles]

I finally got around to getting this game while it was on sale :)

[@kytch111]

TL2 on the Switch is amazing. I still have my level 100 Embermage on my PC but the Switch release feels fresh and new! Loving it!

[@marlosalum7468]

How did you make the game in English? I installed tourch light 2 on my Nintendo switch but the default is in polish. My system is in English tho and I even re-installed without the DLC but the problem remains

[@solblackguy]

Torchlight II was the first game I ever bought on Steam and I have ~2700+ hours in it. They did a really good job porting it over to console and even incorporated some of the QOL features from mods too. Some tips from a long time player: -Unless you're using a shield, vitality is useless. There's sockets that you can get that can give you more than 4X the vitality and HP than if you maxed it out with points. A better defense option for melee builds is dexterity which increases your evasion and critical rate. -Defense doesn't scale well compared to gear with +HP. 20 HP will keep you alive more than 1 defense. -Strength scales with % damage while focus is the only way to increase skills with fixed damage, even physical abilities. -Whatever class you play, get ~56 focus for the 20% critical rate. You can put more points, but 20% crit rate procs a lot more often than it should. -The -defense stat on weapons and socketables affects *all damage types* including elemental. A must have for almost any build.

[@mrbaldguy9674]

Got over 800 hours on this game on steam. Its great. Replay value is massive. Wish switch could use mods. SYNERGIES!!!! Sup Salan?

[@DirtyDan71327]

Everyone should get on this game. Is super amazing! So is the first one.

[@esprithk]

This game was in PC many years ago. Very fun. Why it took so long to port this to console(s)?

[@wearevenom4121]

The game was never brought up, and didn't have much popularity, it also takes a lot of cash to Port a game to additional platforms, the game has a lot of popularity currently due to the Port and made money, so they successfully ported the game over without any loss of overall money. They did well with the port.

[@MrBHBjr]

I need this game :) The scrolls to teleport back to town remind me of DII among other things. DIII was fun too. Hob was an incredible game, so I can only imagine how great Torchlight 2 is on the Switch!

[@christophermark3902]

“Get out of here! Get out of here!”😂 Dude, thanks for the laugh! I played the first Torchlight game on my 360 and I put a lot of hours into it back then. I thought it was great. However, it was a bit disappointing when the sequel didn’t come to consoles because the last gaming pc I owned was the Hot Wheels computer in 99. After playing Diablo for the first time last year I realized that there was something charming about Torchlight that I missed. But that didn’t stop me from pouring hours into Diablo 3 on PS4. Now I’m asking myself if it’s even worth it to go back, even if I had time to play it.

[@RodriguezLife]

Great review! I was a little curious about this game and how it would play. Now that I've seen your review it I will be buying this. Thanks RGT85

[@Harlock2day]

Any game like Diablo I am a fun of.

[@VetsRage]

The xbox one version is fine for the price tag. Ive owned it on steam since its original release. Ive noticed is the audio for the sound effects seems really soft while the music is too loud. Adjusting the sound sliders dont fix it. Secondly, the auto aim / auto target is more sloppy than diablo 3 console version. Its not bad, its just slightly off sometimes. As far as the ui its fine, works very similar to diablo 3 console version. I’d definitely say its a buy for any arpg fan that plays consoles.

[@Barrymccockiner41]

I definitely understand that even though they are sponsoring this video, you’re putting your reputation on the line even having it on your channel, for me it does matter that they are sponsoring this and if I’m going to be honest, I’m buying this game day 1.

Currently playing this online with the wife. She is new to Diablo style games and since I've played Diablo 3 over 4 times already, I wanted to try something similar. Torchlight 2 is worth it.

[@howardme36]

Pretty awesome game! Played the first one when it came out because d3 was so graphic heavy on my pc back then but nonetheless it filled in for my dungeon Diablo itch!

I came here to check out this review because Torchlight 2 is on sale for $4 on the switch eShop right now, But God damn RGT had so much energy 5 years ago.

[@bopeswiththemost4415]

The port is rough. I can list many problems but the biggest indication is the act 2 transmuter tells you he needs a patch before he starts working (yes, you cannot currently use transmutation).

nobody remembers the developers and creators from FATE were on the team for this game… Fate is torchlights grandpa. THAT is what makes it so special.

[@GYIYGABITE.]

Love the game and I don't regret buying it. But I noticed two things that irks me a bit. 1. The attribute description is a bit haywired and the description doesn't match the correct one. Notice at 8:05 when he picks the attributes how they don't match. Atleast you can put the point then it will match. 2. When playing as an Outlander, sometimes Rune Vault doesn't trigger it's backflip. Hopefully they can patch it up because this is a solid game. Love it!

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

Runic was a great team, though I'd need to look into the state of the company before buying Torchlight 2 again: they went bankrupt a couple years back after releasing Hob, and I'm curious if the company releasing this is still most of the original people or if we're looking at a Telltale scenario here. As others have said, this is a lot closer to Diablo II than Diablo III: there's a LOT more user control over your character, and those choices matter since you can't just arbitrarily change your build willy nilly. It's honestly a system I prefer, but it might annoy players whose introduction to the ARPG genre is Diablo III with its near-complete lack of meaningful character-building choices. These guys were also the brains behind Fate, and while there's a lot more polish on Torchlight and Torchlight II if you enjoyed playing the Fate demos that were everywhere like 10 years ago then you'll have a good idea of how fun this game can be.
