Quick Look: Torchlight

This looks like exactly what's needed to fill time between now and the release of Diablo 3.

I like it more then the Halo 3: ODST one. "

OMG yeah, let the novelty of a new soon-will be-boring advert at least run it`s course before you say that! Since they really do have to advertise, I wish they could mix a few different game adverts in there. I want GB to succeed, and variety is key. I got to truly hate ODST towards the end, and as a game, rebelled against even finishing it.  My problem, but... "

This looks more inexpensive than cheap. I don't know if it's my type of game, or my type of game yet.

The videos it is broken! Oh woe! Oh curse and woe!

Intriguing... Not digging the cartooniness, but thoroughly digging everything else. 8D

Might have been more interesting if they did a diablo/tileset game of Hellgate: London.

"Treasure, get that treasure. Get that treasure. No no no."

i got this pre-ordered on steam for the 17.99 discounted price.

man, even the music that plays in town sounds a bit like the Tristram/Rogue Camp theme for the Diablos

Man I was wondering whether or not to get this one and looking for gameplay footage. Then this quicklook showed up. SOLD, buying it now

For $20 I WILL be buying this. If developers are ever on the fence about whether these Quick Looks actually are worth it or not, here's proof: They Are! 
 
This game wasn't even on my radar but at that price point I'm totally in for some Diablo style action.

Keep the PC coverage coming, GiantBomb.  This was a really interesting QL.

Looks like Diablo. A lot like Diablo. Like too much like Diablo.

Borderlands + Torchlight means I'm looted out for a while.  Not sure how Dragon Age is going to fit in there at all.

Start to Death: 16:56
Cause: Dungeon Monster Beat-down.
 
A new longevity record! Bonus points for perma-death!

There was a demo of a game called Fate that was bundled with my PC software when I bought my computer like 5 years ago, and it plays pretty much exactly like this, it seems, down to having pets and sending them on vendor runs and everything. It was fun, but I wasn't motivated to purchase it at the time. I might buy this, though, for 20 bucks... *shrug*

wonder if it'll have Steamchievements, like Trine.

" @Jimbo_N: The music in this game is actually by Matt Uelmen "

"
This is só cheap, both in design and concept. Knowing a Diablo III is on the horizon so they can make a happy buck out of it's popularity? Does anyone concur with this or should i quit my inane clamoring? "

That looks pretty fun actually.

Awesome Quick Look.  I was on the fence about this game before, but I pre-ordered on steam while watching this.  Thanks GiantBomb!

Better be a 20 dollar game.  Dungeon crawlers just dont look like they have those high production values other RPGs do.  Especially when there is no cutscenes, in game cutscenes, the NPCs just stand there and talk, but you dont really see them do anything but static poses or really rough animations.

Damn, this just makes me want to go back and actually play Diablo. I played like 30 minutes of it wayyyy back when then something else drew me away.

this actualy looks pretty fun!

Huge bummer that there's no co-op. I'd spend an extra $5-$10 easily for it. 
 
The game's on my radar though, I might still end up buying it! It's really tempting.

Looks awesome, gonna check it out for sure! :)

For twenty bucks I can see myself picking this up the next time I'm in the market for a new game.  Thanks for the Quicklook!

the town area looks nice with the street lamps/lanterns. 

I wonder how you get fish...i know! go fishing! im sorry, but it was in the steam description.
 
I would totally love to play another Action RPG, as long as this game has a good loot system and decent model varitey...Sacred 2 spoiled me.

It looks a lot like FATE..good stuff there but i think from the look of this Mythos was much better...

Afrika, Afrika, vi bliver stærkere dag for dag. 

Damn you GB, it is so cheap on steam I am getting it now....I don't have the money for this...guurrr.
 
But yes this look awesome.

no multiplayer? massive fail

For only 14,39€ on Steam? RIGHT ON!!
Oh, what was that? 13 hours?
...
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

For the price of the game it looks pretty sweet, I've never actually played a Diablo style game either and this looks like it could be a good one to start with before Diablo 3 comes out.... I might just pick this up.

No coop? Ah man, I was planning on getting this just 'cause I assumed it had coop.

" It looks a lot like FATE..good stuff there but i think from the look of this Mythos was much better... "

Awesome Quick Look as always, these videos tell me more about whether or not I'll like a game than any other website's reviews.
 
Brad: I believe those items didn't show up in your alchemist's stash because you were on a different difficulty level and/or hardcore. The game seems to be very uptight about difficulties, as you can't take the same character through normal then hard, etc. That sort of stinks, but at least there's an infinite dungeon to play through when you beat the game.
 
I notice a lot of people diss the game because of a lack of multiplayer, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons they dropped the price point. I'd like to play through in co-op too, but I'm hoping that what's there is worth the $17 I dropped.

" Brad If you see this, how long have you been playing. If I am going to spend money on this I would like to know If it is in descend length  "

He said he's 3 hours in and was on level 10 of the dungeon. According to the Runic Games Wiki, the dungeon has a total of about 40 floors, so it's definitely not a very long game if you just wanna beat the main quest; however, you do unlock an endless dungeon after beating it, and you'll probably wanna come back to it to play as the other classes.
 
I already pre-purchased it on Steam since I really like the graphical style, and that's really all I care about in these type of games since they usually don't bring a whole lot of innovation to the table. Torchlight is basically a clone of Fate but with prettier graphics. "

VO can be described as ACTING!!!!!  I like Diablo and all, but this doesn't really look that interesting.  And of course, Brad is dead.

Sounds like a mix of Fate and Diablo. Cool! I may very well pick this up and I wouldn't of if it weren't for this QL. Thanks.

Awesome, I am getting this
