IncGamers: Torchlight Review [PC]

IncGamers'Paul Younger takes on the new action RPG title from Runic.

From the review:

"The game is set in the town of Torchlight which has prospered following the discovery of Ember beneath the town. Ember is a valuable magical mineral but also has the power to corrupt and the miners of Torchlight unearthed underground caverns which revealed labyrinths laced with evil. Your task is to rid Torchlight of this evil and go head to head with whatever villain is causing it. The story itself is simple enough to drive the game's action and it's all about taking on quests and heading deeper into the depths below the town."

Gamplay concept similar to Diablo I then :)

Well, I suppose it's basically the same team, so :D

Cogo6056d ago

Yes, it's similar, but I would still not call it a Diablo clone. I mean, you;re right, these are the same guys who made D1 and D2, so if the game is similar, not strange, but at the same time it got its own vibe. Well worth a try!

Leord6056d ago

Yeah, I wasn't implying that. sorry if it cam out in such a way :P

Darkstorn6056d ago

It really brings back memories of the first Diablo, which I actually liked more than D2. I'm only on floor 18, but supposedly there are over 100. The game is awesome, and runs very well on low-to-mid range PCs.

toaster6056d ago

Oh man, Floor 18. I'm lvl 30 already and at floor 27... 28 I can't quite remember but close to 30. This game is so addicting. On Steam it says I have played for 22.8 Hours in the past 2 weeks. So now my Steam rating is a perfect 10, hehehe. It will likely stay up there for a long while.

Torchlight goes beyond just the floors. The random dungeons and Dungeon Scrolls give you phat lewt and there is plenty to go around.

Pretty much every single dungeon will give you something useful, if not many things useful/rare/unique. The replayability just goes through the roof.

Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.

VenomUK1437d ago

@Darthv72 How did you shift this story about the Xbox Games with Gold lineup into a negative about PSVR not supporting one of the games?! 🤣

crazyCoconuts1437d ago

It's pretty impressive actually.

darthv721437d ago (Edited 1437d ago )

Hmm... that is funny. I see it more as a negative against XB. Like other games on both, some offer a VR mode for PS and this looked like it should be one of them. Then again it doesnt even offer VR for PC so... ehh.

RedDevils1436d ago

That how professional troll at their best work.

ChasterMies1437d ago

Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?

crazyCoconuts1437d ago

I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...

Eidolon1436d ago

Yeah, be interesting to know. I hardly care because of Game Pass now, still don't mind seeing what we get, but I've come to terms that it's mostly going to be nothing I'll play if have GP.

itsmebryan1437d ago

They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.

crazyCoconuts1437d ago

So they've managed to decrease the value you get each month without decreasing revenue by making the games crappier. If they still charged $5/month without giving you ANY games at all, it would open them up to criticism and direct comparisons to PS+ without any way to subjectively spin the message

Crows901436d ago (Edited 1436d ago )

It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra

northpaws1437d ago

This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.

VersusDMC1437d ago

Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.

Silly gameAr1437d ago

I guess that's that value that everyone keeps talking about.

KillBill1436d ago

Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

KillBill1436d ago

What are you talking about you can still buy Xbox Live Gold on its own if you want to. You guys need to stop having conversations about Xbox if you know nothing about it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

Silly gameAr1436d ago (Edited 1436d ago )

I guess the comments flew right over your head, huh? If GP was such a good value, gold would come with game pass, without having to get the more expensive opinion.

KillBill1436d ago

@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.

gamer91436d ago

@ Silly, not sure what you're trying to say, you want game pass ultimate for the price of xbox live gold? That's ridiculous the amount of full price day 1 games you get included in game pass - you don't get that for cheap. Nobody is forced to get game pass, if the value is there you subscribe. if there's a drought in games you unsubscribe like i just did a month ago. Will likely get back on game pass this fall/holiday and into 2023 when the games are flooding in.

The Best Dungeon Crawlers Not Named Diablo

From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."

Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.

The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
