Made by the guys who co-designed Diablo 1 + 2, it plays like a perfect and modern version of Diablo. It has kinda cartoony graphics and an awesome pet system where you can use your pet to send items back up to the village to sell. A really good game for people waiting for Diablo 3.
It's only £20 on steam and it runs on anything (even netbooks o.O).

Yeah, what he said.

The perspective is different obviously as is the HUD, durr, but monster design and graphic in general (judging by the screenies) looks really like WoW.

I downloaded the demo as soon as it was released. Played through it twice and really enjoyed it. If I wasn't completely broke I would've bought it by now /

Runic plans to release an MMORPG set in the Torchlight game world 18 months to two years after the release of the single player game. Max Schaefer, Runic Games CEO and former Mythos executive producer, explained the reasoning behind releasing both a single player game and an MMO. The single player game is intended to introduce the Torchlight game world to the public ahead of the MMO. Further, it would allow the team to get a released game under their belts sooner than if they had immediately started on the MMO. Also, while the Torchlight MMO will be a separate game, it will share the same action RPG gameplay and some of the art assets developed for the single player game.

The MMO will feature some different game mechanics and a wider variety of environments, including a shared "over-world." Runic has entered into a partnership with Chinese online game developer and operator Perfect World Co., Ltd. to publish the MMO worldwide.

Because the MMO is planned to be free-to-play, it can be seen as a "free MMO upgrade" to the single-player Torchlight game.

Worth it for that price. It plays like diablo, is a little repetitive but it is fun.

TimmmmaaaaH: Damn, I... had something for this; +725|6437|Brisbane, Australia

Bought it yesterday.

I feel like I am playing some kind of Diablo III pre release lol. It is seriously identical to D2 except for the pet and graphics, which look like D3's a little.

Enjoying it though, so not complaining.

Received it as early b-day present on Steam. Fun game, also feel like I'm playing D3 pre release. Cannot wait for that.
