About Torchlight
About this game
Welcome to Torchlight! A sleepy enclave founded on the discovery of rich veins of Ember: a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt all that it touches. Emboldened by its power, legions of twisted creatures have begun to swarm up from the tunnels and caves below the town. Choose from three heroes in this Action-RPG and delve into the caverns below town for endless treasure and glory.
Key Features
RANDOMIZATION
Your adventure is uniquely your own. Explore seven lovingly crafted environments randomly generated with new monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items each time you embark on your journey.
MOD SUPPORT
All the tools we used to make Torchlight are fully available in TorchED. Change your gameplay experience, or create something entirely new to explore and share.
PETS & FISHING
Take a break from your fast-paced job adventuring and go fishing. Your catch will help you along your journey. Solo adventuring can be a lonely so chose a faithful companion to accompany you. Your pet will carry items for you, help you in battle, and – with the right fish – can even transform into powerful allies!
RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Hanging up your boots doesn't mean the adventure has to be over. “Retire” your hero and pass down a prized item imbued with unique attributes for your new hero.

Critic Reviews
Based on 57 Critics
GameSpot
80 / 100"Torchlight is a great dungeon crawler with enjoyable combat and an excellent loot system."
Eurogamer
80 / 100"Even though there is nothing new or truly unique about Torchlight, nothing at all, that it so confidently and prettily takes the fight to Blizzard is an enormous compliment...
IGN
86 / 100"The graphics are great, the music engrossing, and the gameplay addictive. While the lack of multiplayer at first tastes bitter, the single-player campaign more than makes up...

This is a great game for the casual rogue-like fan, if you like games that are similar to Diablo in that you are a lone adventurer that has to complete quests and dive deep inside dungeons while leveling up and building your own skill tree, this is the game for you, it also has the option of playing in multiplayer with friends! this is a great game and for the price you pretty much cannot go wrong.

It's basically the game "Fate" but better ! If you love the second one. This one is good too :) You can sink a lot of hours if you want to 100% it on steam ;)

Fun and well-done ARPG very reminiscent of the original Diablo, and the first in a series that peaked at Torchlight 2. Still the first installment holds well on it's own.

This is a fun game with many branching ways to build your character as you advance, whether you want to wield a sword, magic, guns, or a mix of all of that. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars was that same of the skills lacked some important information (like melee range only). Items on the merchants will be random, each time you leave town they change, or if you log out. That can be great if you want to cycle them for better gear, but terrible if an item you want shows up, and you lack the cash to buy it. That being said, it is still worth the price of admission.
