Torchlight was constructed by some of the same people who worked on Diablo2 and it shows. The items, dungeons and enemies within the game are randomized. The formula is simple: you venture into the mine (dungeon) kill enemies plunder the loot and grow stronger, repeat. What you get is a very satisfying experience that is very addictive. You still get to outfit your character (there are 3 to choose from). The game has millions of randomized items; some items are unique (appear in gold), other are part of a set (get more items from the set to gain abilities), some items have sockets in 'em. You can combine weak gems into gems of a higher quality and insert gems into sockets to acquire new enchantments in your equipment. So far it sounds like I am writing a review about Diablo2... all of the above elements appear in that game. Well Torchlight is different, you have a trusty pet by your side. You can use your pet to carry supplies into town like a pack mule. This save much time for your adventuring and exploration of the dungeons. Your pet can also be fed fish (you get fish from a mini-game), fish transforms your pet into different forms with different powers. Your items no longer degrade from use, and they don't need to be repaired, also your magical staffs don't need recharging. Charging staffs and repairing stuff was really tedious in Diablo2, and I'm glad those things didn't carry over! Torchlight isn't perfect, however. The story is pretty weak and forgettable. Also, there aren't many flashy cut scenes, the game's presentation is pretty dull. Also, the game has no multi-player of any kind. Torchlight is a very enjoyable game that is aware of what fans of the genre enjoy and it delivers that to them in spades. With a low price point of under 20$, this game should not be missed.Read full review
I got this game included in my wildtangent console with my new computer. I tried it and it was interesting but I did not have the $20 they wanted for it so I decided to look on here for it. The game is pretty good, don't care for the blood so turned it off. I am a little upset that the makers of the game do not offer support for people with dial-up. Some of us can't afford high-speed. The game has some problems like characters getting stuck in places they can't get out of. The game shuts done alot, and some things you pick up you can't get rid of. Some things you pick up aren't there when you go back to town to give them to the person who wants them so you have to go back and get them again.I don't like it wjhen tech support will not answer your questions they just tell you to go to the forum where you spend hours trying to find the answer and still don't have a clue. Overall, if it had the updates it would be a very good game. As for compares to other games...it is worse because of the problems with it and a lazy tech support team.Read full review
i tried the demo to this game then bought 2 hours later so yeah i liked it real quick it's like a more colorful version of Diablo (no less gore though) which is fine with me easy to understand hard to put down so if your a fan of Diablo or maybe even Starcraft *i am* then you will probably like this one too
This game is simple and addictive. This is the best game since Diablo 2. It might even be better! The game has a very steady pace and I love the fact that I can send my pet back to town to sell items and help you get loot very fast. You can buy it from the website and that is what I would do if I did it over.
Hello everyone. good game to play good the graphics are ok, easy to understand yes, I am already playing time with almost 24 hours and counting. is not equal to diablo but almost similar.
