Torchlight

[inactionman]

Torchlight for the pc comes out later today, looks an excellent game. It's a Diablo style game by some ex-blizzard developers, who as the makers of Mythos were the best things to come out of flagship studios.

If you like it, you'll probably be anxiously waiting for Deathspank as well, by Ron Gilbert!

 

[ST^]

There's no multiplayer though, right? Kind of worthless without it =/

I dunno, at £13 it's pretty cheap. They are supposed to releasing all the tools you'll need to mod it as well, and if it's successful they say their next project will be something based on this but multiplayer/mmo.

Hmm, no singleplayer storyline is a bit of a turnoff for me tbh. It's all random generated stuff.

Still fun. Just spent a few solid hours playing it, it's quite good. Haven't had a decent game come out in ages - will definetely enjoy this little gem some more.

There's a storyline so far as much as there is in the original diablo tbh. It's fun, reminds me an awful lot of diablo, which is to be expected I guess.

This is £7.50 today on Direct2Drive.co.uk if anyone else wants to copypasteme by getting it on the cheap.

Wow, it's a bit pathetic of me but I love this game.

It's like everything I loved about Diablo II with all the little annoying things having been fixed like:

• Not having to go back to town to sell all your shit
• Gold auto picks up
• Inventory management is better

etc, etc, etc.

Hopefully they get a multiplayer going soon because if Diablo III comes out then I doubt this will hold my attention but for now, it's great

PS: Is it just me or does it actually use the exact same (if not too similar to tell the difference) sound effects as D2?

D3 isnt due out till 2011 i think so no worries about it being taken over by that game any time soon

 

[MYstIC G]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
