Torchlight 2 is free to add to your Epic Games Store library right now and will remain so until next Thursday, 23rd July at 4pm in the UK. "It's a colourful, heartfelt and well-judged spin on one of the most reliably engrossing genres knocking around." "If the first Torchlight capitalised on the continued absence of Diablo 3, the second feels like a genuine alternative to it," said Christian Donlan in his 9/10 review in 2012.


Torchlight 2, which launched in 2012, fleshed the winning formula out further, delivering a critically acclaimed chunk of captivating dungeon-crawling and class-based hack-and-slash action, all set in a vibrant, lovingly crafted world. Runic Games, which sadly shut its doors in 2017, was formed by a number of industry veterans including brothers Max and Erich Schaefer, creators of the Diablo series, and the original Torchlight had plenty in common with Blizzard's popular action-RPG. Thursday means another free game on the Epic Store, and this week's offering is an oldie-but-goodie, arriving in the form of Runic Games' much-loved action-RPG Torchlight 2.
