In every genre there's typically either a handful of titles or, in the case of the action-RPG a single title, that define the genre at it's finest point. In this case, the Diablo series will forever cast an immense shadow over any game that that labels itself in a similar fashion and Torchlight...

Some of you may have heard of a game called Diablo , which was released back in 1997. This dark, fantasy-themed action-RPG was released by some unknown company going by the name of "Blizzard", who we believe may have gone on to big things since (some little project called World of Warcraft ,...

I miss the dungeon crawlers on the PC and with no real Dungeons & Dragons game available or more specifically Diablo III , what is a gamer to do? The answer is Torchlight ! If you've seen the trailer or the screenshots for Torchlight , than you may be thinking that this is a Diablo clone but with...

Unique and colorful graphics; randomly generated dungeons

No multiplayer

The Diablo games certainly inspired a lot of clones that paled in comparison to the originals, but Torchlight comes from the people...

Diablo III isn't going to be released in 2010, and odds are it'll be deep into 2011 before Blizzard pushes their RPG onto store shelves. This poses a bit of a problem for many gamers, who expected the developer to have the product finished much earlier, and built a PC or Mac the moment the game was...

Torchlight is a lovingly crafted and polished action-RPG that is an absolute must for any fans of the genre, and well worth looking into from anyone else even vaguely interested.

Co-op is fast becoming a staple of many multiplayer-enabled console titles these days. The notion of playing together as a team towards a common objective is the new black, as opposed to simply fragging the hell out of each other for kicks and gamerpoints (you know who you are).

This game will remind you of WoW straight away, well why? Because it is made by the same artists, so the graphics are very colourful, very cartoony.... and well a hack and slash similar to Sacred, Titan Quest, Diablo 2 of course and so on.

Great example of the hack and slash genre

Repetitive and unimaginative quests
