The thing that made the first game fun was that the kills were very satisfying. Its shortcomings came in the form of limited replayability (no leveling up, tiny unlock system, one game mode). Dungeon defenders had tons of replayability (tons of weapons/armour, lengthy unlock system, pets, lots of maps, etc.) but lacked the satisfying combat. Hopefully this game can bridge that gap (though, it would have been nice to see at least 4 player coop.

I also hope they add more characters to choose from in this game. Lets be honest, most dudes want to play as dudes. If I'm locked in as the cocky guy from the last game and my buddy is locked in as the chick in the pictures, it would automatically take his enthusiasm for the game down a notch.

If you read our PAX preview - you can play as two of the same character if you want.

Sweet, thanks. It looks pretty good. Hopefully, if it sells well, they will add characters in DLC as well as new unlocks/traps and what-not. A map-maker would be lots of fun as well. This one goes onto the ever-growing list of 'games I'll pick up some day' just because there's not enough time to play everything, and Men of War Assault Squad and Dead Island are satisfying my coop itch until Borderlands2 comes out.
