Very addictive.

Torchlight is a very simple game. It's clearly taken a lot of inspiration from popular Action-RPGs like Diablo, Fate, and others. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing! This game plays like Diablo, but has so many different things it becomes a completely different experience. Things like a pet companion, the ability to wield all weapons and equipment with every class, and fishing make this a fresh new gaming experience. Fishing for instance, allows you to temporarily transform your pet into different monsters with different abilities. You can send your pet back to town to sell the items in their inventory. There's a huge list of other things that I won't talk about for sake of sanity. All in all, this is a game worth buying. If you don't have this game but like games such as Diablo, do yourself a favor and buy this work of art.

Damn Good Action RPG.

Worth owning. PROS: + Accessible to new-comers, while fun for vets. + Light-hearted graphics style is easy on the eyes, with modest hardware requirements. + Three distinct character classes and randomly generated dungeons add replay value. + Tons-o-mods floating around. + Windows and Mac versions included. + Worth the $15 (as of Sept. 2016) asking price. CONS: - Weak story. - No mulitplayer. - No Linux version on GOG as of Sept. 2016.* *Humble Store now carries Torchlight DRM-free with Linux version included.

I never played Diablo but....

This is a really good game. Why? Because it has a good story (very simple but very good), it ends early (with this type of game you get bored quickly), and it is perfectly programmed. I never played Diablo so I can not say if it's better or worse, but it's definitely a nice game. Compared to Tochlight 2 is inferior, but it has its advantages. The fact of not having the multi-player is compensated by the length, in this kind of game where we get bored quickly the only way to keep the tension high it is a good story (and the first has a better story). The graphics worst is offset by the doungeon most beautiful. I personally recommend you play both the first and the second, both are beautiful. The second you find DRM-free on humblebundle (just sometimes, unfortunately).

Nice Diablo clone

It's a cartoony Diablo clone with great features like pets that head back to town to sell your loot and a nice menu/inventory system that can save you some time. There's nothing really new here and the game can be a trifle bit boring at times, mainly because of the sheer amount of loot management some of these games seem to drag you down with. Another strike against the game is that it's single player only. The devs explained that they are a small team and could not afford to add a co-op or multiplayer feature. They did with the sequel but sadly left the first game severely lacking. Overall a good Diablo clone, just don't expect anything great,
