Torchlight II is a 2012 action RPG dungeon crawler developed and published by Runic Games, sequel to the 2009 original. Players choose from four classes (Outlander, Embermage, Berserker, Engineer) and are accompanied by a customizable pet throughout.

Runic Games was co-founded by former Blizzard North developers, and composer Matt Uelmen previously scored the original Diablo series.
