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 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.

"Torchlight is a great dungeon crawler with enjoyable combat and an excellent loot system."

"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...

"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...

Fine game but it get's repetitive quick

Fine game but it get's repetitive quick. You basically click on enemies. For fans of the genre it will be great.

Great game, if you enjoyed classic Diablo 1, you'll have a fun time, there's a pet that can sell excess junk while you continue exploring and grinding.

Has all the right elements of its genre!

An old classic, Torchlight is a very pleasant dungeon crawler. The animations and effects are flashy without overdoing it. This genre is expected to be somewhat repetitive, but I personally enjoyed the variety of maps, items and skills enough to not find myself bored.
