Quite fun..

yeh, i bought it when it came out about a month ago, played it for a few days and got bored.
Would have been alot better with some multiplayer support.

I have been playing it quite a lot. It is simple and does get boring after a while, but I have found it pleasing when I get home from a long day at work. Level 30 soon Very much identical to Diablo II

If you liked Diablo II, you'll love it - it's more or less exactly the same.

Torchlight II ignites the franchise created and developed by Runic Games in this exciting sequel to the award-winning Action RPG  Torchlight. Runic Games, located in Seattle, is a veteran team composed of the designers and leads of projects like Diablo, Diablo II, Mythos, Fate, and Torchlight, which won the Game Developerââ,¬â,,¢s Choice Award for Best Debut of 2009.

Torchlight II is richly textured with our unique art style, drawing from traditional animation influences and expanding on the whimsical and quirky world captured in the original Torchlight. We aim for that broad appeal thatââ,¬â,,¢s appropriate for older kids, but is really intended for the kid in every adult.
CO-OP ACTION

The most exciting new feature of Torchlight II is the multiplayer element. Play with your friends, and use the free peer-to-peer matchmaking service to meet new players of a similar level and interest. Together players will discover expansive randomized outdoor areas and deep ominous caverns; random instanced and persistent dungeons, a huge variety of all new monsters and villains, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete. Players journey through the perilous Overworld, enjoying all new weather features, time of day events, and a rich and cunning story to drive gameplay.
BACKSTORY

Beyond the town of Torchlight lies a world shrouded in adventure and mystery. Guardian-warrior Syl appears in a prophetic dream, summoning the player to the Estherian Steppes. There, you meet with the Destroyer and soon venture across the continent of Vilderan, an exotic frontier besieged by forces of evil. A discovery unfolds, that the Alchemist, following his conquest of dark ember, disappeared on his quest to defeat the unknown corrupted force responsible for destroying the mystical race of Estherians. Aided by Syl, the remaining Estherian Guardians, and clues left behind by the missing Alchemist, you will find yourself battling a powerful enemy that threatens to unravel the elements of the entire world.

Runic Games will release Torchlight II initially as a digital download in Spring of 2011.

Hurrah! I hope they keep the graphics engine low-spec, it's a great netbook game.

[T-Bag]

Wow, P2P multiplayer....not looking forward to that. But hopefully the single player will be just as enjoyable as the first.

[delanvital]

Cool, still play the first one
