Torchlight review

Torchlight is an action role-playing game developed by Runic Games and published by Perfect World. This fantasy-themed game is set in the fictional town of Torchlight and the expansive caverns and dungeons nearby, which adventurers explore to collect valuable loot and battle hordes of monsters.

In Torchlight you have 3 classes you can choose from:

• The Destroyer is a fearsome warrior, specialized in close combat, but he can also call upon the power of his astral spirits. Basically he is a Barbarian from Diablo 2 with a few magic abilities.

• The Vanquisher is a marksman, she can easily kill enemies from afar with the help of her bow/rifle or dual pistols. She can also lure her foes into deadly traps.

• The Alchemist is a master spellcaster. He gets his power from the Ember. His focus glove gives him the ability to shoot lasers and to summon powerful robots and other minions.

You also get a companion, which can be a dog, a cat or a ferret. Your companions can help you in combat, they will grow stronger and also you can send your pet back to Torchlight (the city) to sell your items.


This game is very similar to Diablo, but with really nice cartoonish graphics and a great storyline. The game drops you into deep water from the beginning. The first person you see gives you a quest, if you go 10 steps to the side you see a fight and when you help "Brink" he runs into a mine. You are asked to go inside the Mine, find Brink and help him put an end to this infestation.

All the characters have 3 different skill trees. You don't need to investigate points to skills you don't want. For example: if you want the Destroyers 2. ability but don't like the first one, you can just wait for the level requirement and learn that spell. This is a great way you can make your character unique and powerful.


The only bad thing I can find in this game is that it doesn't support multiplayer, and that the single player campaign can become repetitive after a while.
