Diablo-esque action RPG
Torchlight is a dungeon-crawling action RPG from 2009 that offers over 30 levels of dungeons for about 30 hours of fairly straightforward hack-and-slash, hoard-and-sell, and leveling-up gameplay. In this genre, you start fighting within minutes of starting a new game. No need to spend half hour just to choose your character's class, attributes, race, etc., like in a traditional RPG. But such simplicity often leads to repetitive and grindy gameplay. If you play in short bursts, you will find it exciting. But by the 10-20 hours, you will feel the monotony. This is the nature of the genre, which also includes the Diablo games, Fate, Grim Dawn, and others. All the typical genre elements are here: you combat hordes of monsters, fight through dungeons after dungeons, some with secret areas; you attack via melee, range, magic, and elemental attacks; you find tons of loot, but most are useless to you except for selling; you use gems to enhance your weapons and armor; you learn magic; you have a pet that fights alongside you; you cannot freely save your game, but your progress is auto-saved; there is also a waypoint system that enables quick travel. Torchlight has a few things different from others in the genre. Your pet can run off and sell your useless loot for you, saving you time going back to town to sell it. Monsters do not respawn, as they usually do in other action RPGs. There also isn't much of a storyline compared to other action RPGs. You basically just hunt for the arch-villain, with the narrative little more than some mumbo jumbo about how evil the villain is. Torchlight's graphics are also on the cartoonish side, stressing light-heartedness. The version sold here should include a level editor for the game. If it is not included, you can download it for free from the website of the developer, Runic Games. A sequel called Torchlight 2 came out in 2012; it has less cartoonish graphics, but more of the same gameplay.
