It just doesn’t go above and beyond, feeling more generic overall. I wish I had more to say about Torchlight II, because it is a solid dungeon-crawling RPG that features a quality Switch port with some flexible and smart functionality and UI tweaks for the console in both docked and handheld forms. ![]() Disappointingly so, Torchlight II offers no means of local multiplayer on Switch, but four-player online play is present and ran well in my experiences.

Its an Action RPG in the same vein as the Diablo games - however I would say this game is. The port here is handled by Switch veterans Panic Button, who also handled the Switch port of Hob, Runic Games’ 2017 release. Torchlight II captures all the flavor and excitement of the original game - while expanding the world and adding the features players wanted most, including. Torchlight II is a fantastic addition to the Torchlight series. Overall it’s a somewhat by-the-numbers Diablo-esque RPG that might not be across-the-board exemplary, but it does everything well enough.
