I played for 1-2 hour and up to lvl 8 with my destroyer. I am really liking it so far and I love the pet. I have encountered a few AI glitches were the enemy and allies get suck behind a wall or something.
SO how do you feel about this game ?
Torchlight
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Oct 27, 2009
Torchlight is a Diablo-style action RPG from Runic Games. The game features three classes, randomly generated dungeons, and lots and lots of loot.
what do you think about torchlight ?
Played through the Demo with the Alchemist on Hard, I enjoy it. I like the graphical style and for $20, it seems like a good deal.
I played the demo also, for about 30 minutes. Seems like it would get old after a while, but I really enjoyed the massive amounts of loot you get.
Played it up until around lvl 13 with the female character sporting dual guns. Both add health and mana for every shot. This game is so much fun, but I haven't had any AI glitches. Maybe because I move around a lot with the character as to avoid close combat too much.
Still can't believe they sell it this cheap though, it's worth twice that amount.
Really love it, totally worth $20 (or 14 euros over here) The way the Berserker plays feels like the barbarian in Diablo 3 from the looks of it. His attacks feel powerful and ultra-damaging as it should. This is what Immortal Throne was missing imho: the feeling that you are ultra-powerful.
I've honestly never heard anything about it until I seen the quick look today and I'm kind of mad since I bought the Diablo battlechest about 3 days ago for $50 and I could of got this for way less. It looks great so far so though, when I get bored of Diablo I'll probably go check it out.
I'm the same with everyone else. Better than i expected. Feels very similar to Diablo II, even the hotkeys are the same, the ui etc. All in all, great game, that I wish was just longer and a bit more fleshed out. I wish they spent more time on it and tried to make it a bigger game and increased the price point accordingly. I say this because i just want more of the game, I'm really enjoying it.
Played it for nearly 8 hours and currently have a lvl 20 Alchemist. Loving it so far, although I did wish I had followed Brad's advice and picked something higher than Normal Mode... I put all my stat points into Magic and the combat has been kind of a snoozefest because enemies will be long dead before they can even get to me. It is quite satisfying to take out a group of 20 enemies in like 3 secs with the continously firing "Ember Lance" though -- I'll give it that.
Also, even though I mainly stick to magic, playing him as a melee character is still a viable option as well. When an Alchemist equips a staff, his melee attack strength becomes equal to his magic attack strength, so there's really no reason to up your Attack stat as well unless you wanna become proficient with other weaponry. As for my Defense stat... well, even though it's still at its base level, I find that armor alone provides sufficient defense for that to not be much of an issue.
I have played for around 3 hours. Just hit level 10 and having a blast. I really like that you get 4 spell slots on top of your skill tree. It adds something to the game.
I started out on hard and it seems to be a good balance.
It's really fantastic. It's like Fate 2.0, which in itself was a Diablo clone. The art style is fantastic, and the gameplay is just like clasic Diablo. I would be playing that game non-stop if I wasn't playing Borderlands so goddamn much. The fact that I've been playing it at all when it came out the day after Borderlands is pretty impressive (to me at least).
" Loving it. It absolutely nails all the fun bits and pieces missing from the otherwise technically great Titan Quest + IT. Just a shame that I have to work today! "Yeah I agree with you, I finished Titan quest + expansion two times but there seemed to be something missing or wrong. for example the inventory system was garbage in TQ and a little better in IT but still it was junk . Torchlight seems to solve most of that problem with the pet. And yeah I am dying to get home and play it some more but I am stuck at the local high school library studying...
" @Dirune said:There was a good long closed beta before it got shut down.Loved Mythos.Am I missing something? I thought Mythos was unreleased? "
As for Torchlight: I'm really surprised in this game so far. It has a lot more meat then I was expecting for a $20 game. I'm hoping to get my hands on these mod tools soon, I wanna see how I can make my own classes and dungeons.
" It's solid. I'm really enjoying it. The only knock against it is the lack of multiplayer, but hopefully it will sell well enough for the developer to make the MMO. "a co-op mode would be nice to. but I hear this game is mod able so maybe some great guy will make one :P
" @ShadowKiller said:Yeah I live in Canada where it's still almost the same price as a new game in most stores in the area. I just really wanted to play Diablo after hearing great things and so far I think it was worth it."I bought the Diablo battlechest about 3 days ago for $50"Dude, what? "
" @ajamafalous said:I bought the battlechest 6 or 7 years ago for $19.99. : /" @ShadowKiller said:Yeah I live in Canada where it's still almost the same price as a new game in most stores in the area.

"Dude yeah. I got this game and it is SO Diablo. Brad said it in the quick look and you got to see it a bit. But actually playing it makes you realize exactly how much like Diablo it is. It's great, highly recommended.I've only heard about it but since I enjoy the Diablo series I guess I should pick this one up.
"
I just got this today and it kicks ass. it's exactly what I need to fill in the gap between now and Diablo III; I've literally pumped about 6 hours into it already; 4 of them consecutive.
Brad was right when he said it was too easy though, I'm playing on Hard and I've only been close to death a couple times and that was because I got careless. Next character's going on Very Hard.
I'm also suprised just how much some basic physics adds to a game like this, it's just so satisfying to wade into a pack of pygmies and send them all flying with an AoE slash.
