The most interesting aspect of the class was this thing called the charge bar. I could ruin dudes with flaming craters from my huge hammer, OR summon robots, throw grenades, and mow down mobs with a cannon blast, OR I could have tons of survivability and moderate AOE damage by using a shield. I liked the level of versatility I had in builds, but I found it annoying that the differing builds seemed to desire different stats(you have Str, Dex, Focus, and Vit, and you level them up in Diablo 2 fashion). The Engineer, my first choice, is a class that uses either a two hander, sword and board, or a giant cannon based on how you build him. It’s like being the Guyver with a giant hammer! There are four classes in TL2, and I’ll tell as much as I know on each while sharing my experiences of playing. I played whatever class likes shooting a gun in TL1, and I haven’t played an Outlander yet in TL2, so I can’t comment much on how the classes have changed, but I can talk about them in general. Aside from those things, I don’t have much to say on the upgrade that’s too specific. Also, having the layout of your town change in each act added ever so slightly to the feeling of progression, that you were actually going somewhere. You would never know until you’ve experienced it, but little things like roaming the surface of a randomly generated world feels much more free than roaming a randomly generated ‘dungeon,’ when really they are the same thing. Torchlight 2 appears at first glance to be a huge step up from the original, though it’s sometimes hard to tell because I played TL1 on XBLA, and TL2 on the PC. No, I didn’t play Path to Exile for more than an hour. Many comparisons will be made to D3 because frankly, there aren’t many other games in this genre I’ve played, or even familiar with. While I won’t dwell too much on that failed game or it’s wasted potential, I bring up my D3 experience because my review of Torchlight 2 has been colored by how D3 changed my perceptions on the Action RPG game. It’s taken almost six months to be able to finally admit it, but like so many others, I was suckered into buying Diablo 3.
