Despot's Game vs Torchlight 2
Despot's Game
Despot's Game is a whimsical roguelike with an auto-battler-style combat and a pretty strategic gameplay. In this game, you’ve found yourself in the middle of a battle-to-the-death contest organized by a maniacal talking computer screen. Luckily, you won’t be partaking in the battles yourself. Instead, you “recruit” puny humans and equip them with various weapons so they could survive enemy encounters and descend deeper to the next level where tougher enemies reside. There are boss fights, numerous strategic ways to upgrade your “unwilling gladiators” and to produce more food to feed your army, and funny encounters with the denizens of the arena dungeon you’re in.Torchlight 2
Torchlight 2 is the well-received sequel of the popular dungeon crawling game, Torchlight. Similar to Diablo's sequel, Torchlight took to making its "dungeons" a little more open-aired, resulting in randomized levels overworld (rather than just underworlds) with nice weather effects to make the world feel more alive. There are more towns/adventuring hubs for you to visit too. The campaign is also reworked to provide players who replay the game a greater challenge to match their now upgraded character and as usual, you'll still have your trusty pet and some fishing to do on the side.Torchlight 2 not only supports mods (like the first game) but it also provides multiplayer so you can dive into its worlds by playing with your friends or with random strangers via the matchmaking service.
The Torchlight series have always had amore lighthearted tone to them and that actually made the game feel a lot more relaxing, and for some, more entertaining to play. Regardless of which part of the dungeon-crawling spectrum you like, Torchlight 2 is the sort of game that every fan of the genre should at least experience once in their lives.
