Torchlight
Has anyone tried it? I played the demo last night, and I must say it looks like a genuinely good hack'n'slash with simple but rewarding and demanding gameplay, awesome loot drops and a ton of Diablo/WoW inspirations. Heck, even the music in town sounds very much like the Tristram theme from D1, not mentioning the graphics which are seemingly taken straight from WoW I may give the full version a shot, demo was pretty entertaining.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Re: Torchlight
i bought it, definitely not bad for a 20$ game. Moddable, and pretty entertaining.
supposedly they're making an MMO out of it, but who knows, the game isn't too bad though.

Re: Torchlight
It is on sale on steam for $5 right now so I went ahead and picked it up. I never really played diablo single player so I cant make a comparison but I like Torchlight a lot. Being single player it has its limitations but I could imagine this being a fun multiplayer game, though I don't see how pvp would work out. This game really panders to the chronic meph runners of the diablo world. You can even pump up a passive skill that increases your magic find.
if youre gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

Re: Torchlight
so ive played the game a while now
and it has some shortcomings, like shared skills in the classes
if you use the spellcaster as a summoner, you cant get info on screen about your summons
and some other minor issues that might get patched
but its a fun game, and the diablo vibe is definately there
alot of the stuff is extremely similar, skills or spells that are the same thing as skills or spells we're in D2
the music and vibe also
the gear looting
anyways got an alchemist that completed the main quest and a vainquisher about half way trough
my alchemist is a summoner, and you can get a pretty decent size army going, but you got enough skill points to have decent magics to support them
i wanted to make the vainquisher like a Trapper assassin, but i made more of an hybrid trapper\ranged build
alot of fun and for the price its pretty good

Re: Torchlight
Only problems I eventually ran into with this game is just too many items all the time.
upgrades every level nothing really sticks for too long, and it just gets boring, there's nothing to achieve since everything scales and just gets better and better (and can go on forever?).
If you guys want a good diablo clone try out titan quest (you can pick up the gold version on steam).
It's very solid, but doesn't have the random layouts Diablo does, but The story and landscapes and gameplay is very fun.
Classes aren't set in stone theres 7-8? masteries and you pick 2 to combine and make your class. All the trees are viable.
Weapon drops have random abilities, also Uniques/Sets.
Its pretty much diablo 2.5 set to greek/egyptian/eastern myths and legends (some stuff doesn't make a ton of sense Like you fighting Polyphemus from the Odyssey than talking to dead Odysseus in Act4).
Way better than torchlight if you're looking for a Diabloesque fix.
