    And there are even a couple of "wait, there's more" kickers. Along with being one of the best action RPGs to hit the PC in many moons, Torchlight is selling for just $19.95, and it comes with absurdly undemanding system requirements along with a netbook mode so that you can play it on just about any system. So not only do you get a great game, but you get a great deal in every respect. Stop reading and start playing. Read more

    • Great use of the standard action RPG formula, Atmospheric dungeons, Good monster variety, Fantastic musical score, Outstanding loot drops.
    • No multiplayer, Does very little that's new.

    Even if you’re not a fan of the series, admit it; Blizzard Entertainment absolutely pioneered the action-RPG genre with Diablo . At its time of release there was nothing like it around, and loot-whoring and dungeon crawling became a whole new trend that’s still hulking itself around the gaming industry today. Read more

    Even with the pet and the infinite dungeon, Torchlight is very much the definition of a Diablo clone. If you liked Diablo and you want to play it again, saddle up because you are going to love Torchlight. If you liked Diablo 2 or Titan Quest or the thousand other games in the genre that actually managed to improve on Diablo in the last decade, look elsewhere. Read more

    Cheap, full of quality, and stupidly addictive. What's not to like? Read more

    Ok, just recently got this game. And yeah it was not bad at all. Alot like diabloe, you have different classes also different pets. The pet can be used to attack, fetch even change the pet to make them stronger, with a draw back. You can make weapons and armour stronger, combine them with other items for an extra bonus. the down side is, after a while you tend to get bored, well I did. point click and just overall a game that is not as good as diablo, it does try hard.

    • Alot like Diablo. But with a pet.
    • Just drags on and on.
