Current game: Torchlight 2

After a hiatus from Path of Exile (POE), T bought me a copy of Torchlight 2 from the 4 pack bundle sale on steam yesterday. Check out the website here.

It's kind of an old game, and T was pretty cynical about tinyceci writing about this on the blog, but what the hey, we've had too much of cosmetics lately anyway.

Torchlight II has a rating of 9.1/10 on ign, read their reviews here.

It's sort of like the original Diablo 1 & 2, but with cuter graphics and kind of more complicated controls. Also you get to choose a pet from the usual cat, wolf, panther to a dragon-like fantasy creature Chakawary or even the Panda. There're loads more to choose from! I chose the Chakawary. :) 귀요미 ㅋㅋㅋ

As for the character classes, there are 4 basic classes to choose from: Embermage, Outlander, Berserker and Engineer. Don't be fooled by the name Embermage, within this spellcaster class you can choose to specialize in Fire, Ice or Lightning elements, or have a combination depending on your playing style. The Berserker is your standard melee warrior Barbarian-like class. The Outlander is kind of cool, dual wielding guns and sort of like a modern ranger/rogue class. The Engineer is also a heavy melee fighter using cannons and creating machine bots to help in battle.

No prizes for guessing which class tinyceci will be starting on.ㅋㅋㅋ XD

tinyceci created two Embermages, one to specialize in Ice and one for Fire. I would say, in terms of term play, Torchlight II would probably beat POE, but I still prefer the grime, dark gothic feel of POE. Also, it seems a lot easier to play alone on POE instead? I died like 10 times within 30 minutes into Torchlight II on Elite difficulty. Or maybe it's because mages are more squishy.

Anyway, it is sort of cheap with the 4 pack bundle, and it IS a hack-and-slash game. When tinyceci was going through the first chapter with two other team mates, it seemed rather hard to focus on what were the quests or the game is about. 

If you're a casual gamer like tinyceci, I would say it is a 3.2 ★ / 5 ★ ㅋㅋㅋ
