As a geek when someone mentions RPG’s there are a few things that come to mind. The chances are however that Diablo is one of the first things to pop into your head. So when I finally got my hands on Torchlight I wasn’t surprised at the look or feel of the game. To say the hack and slash click frenzy was reminiscent of Diablo might be considered an understatement of the most extreme kind. Diablo II like game mechanics and the atmoshpere and simplicity of the original experience of Diablo mixed with a pleasant and classic graphical style all mesh for simple, fun and streamlined experience with Torchlight. Calling something clone is ussually a negative factor but the Diablo’esque fell comes from the Team, a group of former Blizzard North members working with Runic Games and doing a damned good job.
With a small footprint and very reasonable spec requirements Torchlight is a unique game and at it’s bargain pricing (Steam 19.95 AUD) it’s a hard gem to look over.
