It's worth noting that there are a number of fun extras in the game as well that only tangentially involve combat. It's too possible that players will limit themselves to a mundane, "safe" build and miss out on some of the cool innovative combat options available.
Torchlight ii controller support mod#
A respec mod is now available on the Torchlight mod sites, but I'd like to see this as part of the core game. With a paid respec mechanic, I would have tried out a much wider variety of my skills and probably had more fun with the class. That's a pity, because I really would have liked to explore the staggering variety of skills more. Since you only really have two skills active at any given time, I found it wise to specialize as much as possible in two offensive skills and spend the rest of my points on passive skills (like improved crit). In combat, the pet does a little damage and mostly doesn't make a nuisance of itself until the last few levels, when it needs healed fairly regularly.Īs players level, they allocate points between stats (which dictate weapon and spell effectiveness, as well as which items you can equip), and skills. The pet is an extremely nice touch, since your companion has inventory slots and will even return to town to sell without you if you start to get bogged down with loot. You can even give spells like Heal All or Summon Skeleton to your loyal pet, a cat or dog, who will cast them at intervals. On normal setting, you'll scoff at common drops and even green items, donning gear that's levels beyond you and reaping the benefits. The real skill is in choosing your spells, abilities, and equipment, because Torchlight absolutely inundates you with skadss of each. I do think it's a pity that Torchlight doesn't offer Xbox controller support (for the PC) since the controls are so concise, but it's probably hard for action RPGs to kick the cursor habit.Įven with straightforward controls, combat can become frenetic in Torchlight.
That's all there is to it, though if you want to remap the key bindings, you'll have to edit a config file or wait for a future patch.Įven for me, a WASD gamer to the core, it didn't take long to adapt, though in a panic I might have toggled my minimap a time or two.
Spells and potions you don't use as often go on your hotbar where you can access them with the 1-9 keys. A toggles a map overlay, a minimap, or no map. Tab toggles your special attack, and W switches you to a secondary weapons set and back again. Torchlight's control scheme is charmingly simple - left click to move or attack, right click to execute a special attack.
