But a lack of preparation for the game’s success is the only reason I can figure, as to why the game didn’t have a multi-player feature. I can’t say Runic is guilty of making Torchlight a throw-away game, it’s clear from its quality that it’s top notch.
#Torchlight 2 review movie
In the movie industry, film companies are sometimes guilty of deliberately making a crap film so they can raise the capital to put out a good film (ie: make SaW XXXVII, wait for brainless hordes to go see it, make tons of money after bad reviews, use said money to make The King’s Speech). I have a theory that the minds of at Runic had no idea Torchlight was going to catch fire the way it did. It’s release on Xbox promises a whole new round of people asking, “why the hell can’t I play with friends on this?” It’s like that damn stain on your shirt you thought you got out but it keeps coming back.
#Torchlight 2 review Pc
Making a highly accessible game only more accessible will once again guarantee a sleeper hit in this new format.Īs for the game itself, not much has changed and why should it? Why dig somewhere else when you’ve hit a gold vein? The only thing that is different from its PC incarnation is the use of an Xbox controller, meaning players won’t lay awake at night staring at their ceiling with blood shot eyes and the endless, haunting sound of a million mouse clicks ringing in their ears.īut there is something that hangs around Torchlight’s neck like a dead albatross: no multi-player. The game harnesses the destructive power of addictiveness rivaled only by its granddaddy, Diablo.
Its release on Arcade is a brilliant move by Runic. In a stroke of genius, the hit title Torchlight has come to us on Xbox Live Arcade, making this winning game available to all the children of the earth (those who have Microsoft points to spend that is).
Randomized levels and an ‘endless dungeon’ unlocked after completing the main game ensure a long-lived gameplay experience. Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete.
