The hack ‘n’ slash action is incredibly satisfying, especially when I unleash a fireworks show of ice and lightning attacks.

The rest of the game, from the dreamy music to the bright and colorful art direction, is perfectly retained with this port. That’s probably the only concession made with bringing Torchlight II to consoles. Add in quick access to mana and health potions, which you will 100% need to properly function in this game, and that leaves just five buttons to map with your various skills and spells. With your general attack button taking up one, that leaves you with seven. You have just eight buttons to configure to your liking.

If you’ve played Torchlight II before on PC, the biggest change you’ll probably notice with the console version is the truncated number of attack options. Pet choices include various dogs, cats, flying creatures, a headcrab, pre-order exclusive Yapper from the upcoming Torchlight Frontiers, and the Nintendo Switch exclusive chonky unicorn. Choosing between Engineer, Berserker, Embermage, and Outlander, players can pick the look of their hero from an unfortunately small number of options and pair them with a companion pet to accompany them throughout their quest.

Taking place years after the end of the original game, Torchlight II offers up new character classes who are tasked with taking down a corrupted Alchemist, one of the character classes from the first game.
