Torchlight II vs. Diablo III: The Ultimate ARPG Shootout
By Kirk Hamilton on September 19, 2012
[This review brought to you in partnership with Kotaku] I've spent the weekend mainlining Runic's Torchlight II. As of this writing, my level 39 engineer has killed 8,800 monsters, collected 161,207 gold, imbibed 535 potions, broken 771 crates and urns, and caught 9 fish.
This game is much more of a beast than its predecessor; in terms of scale and ambition, it's right up there with the biggest names in loot-collection and click-based combat. And so of course, Blizzard's Diablo III looms large over the entirety of Torchlight II. How could it not?
Below, I've catalogued some of the many ways that the two games are different.
