New Super Mario Bros 2 vs Torchlight
New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros 2 provides you with another exciting Super Mario adventure to embark on to save the hapless Princess Peach from Bowser! This time around though, the Mushroom Kingdom has a lot more gold coins for Mario to collect - and he needs to collect as many as he can - in addition to simply completing a level. There are also special power-ups that can turn everything in Mario's path in coins. Aside from the usual 2-player multiplayer mode, the game now has a new Coin Rush mode where players will rush through 3 levels while collecting as many coins as they can and then challenge their friends to do the same. With the return of Raccoon Mario, Mario can even fly and access hidden places around the game.New Super Mario Bros 2 is an incredibly fun game - more so than the previous version, that's for sure. So, if you can afford it, you should definitely buy this game.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
