Torchlight is an action role-playing game from the creators of Diablo I and II. With that said, you can expect some elements of Diablo to be present in this game as well. However, this doesn't mean that you won't see anything new in the game.
Let's discuss the hardware requirements first. I was quite surprised with the low hardware requirements of the game. Even my almost 2-year-old laptop was able to run the game smoothly without experiencing any issues. They even provided a netbook option in their settings which indicates that they were aiming for less powerful computers to be able to run the game.
When you start the game, you have to choose from one of the three classes available. There's the Destroyer who specializes in melee attacks but can also use magic. Next is the Vanquisher who uses ranged weapons and thief like abilities such as sneaking and setting up traps. Lastly, there's the Alchemist who is the same with a typical mage.
After choosing your class, you will choose between a dog and a cat as your pet to accompany you in your journey. This companion pet will be a great help since they have their own abilities and they can also cast magic depending on what you equip them with. You can even equip them with pendants and rings. They have their own set of inventory which they can sell if you command them to go to town. It's quite handy since you don't have to go back to town just to unload extra things that you don't need.
Pets can be made stronger by feeding them fish that you can acquire by fishing. Each fish will have the ability to transform them into a different form and this makes them powerful.
Playing Torchlight is quite easy, just point and click. Left clicking will move your character or attack an enemy. Right clicking will cast a spell that you have assigned to its slot. Different slots are available that you can assign a spell or potion into for easy and faster access.
The game's setting is on the mining town of Torchlight. In the town, you'll meet a bunch of people who will give you quests. You can choose to accept them or not. There are only about 5 characters that will be giving out the missions. As soon as you finish a mission and talk to the character that gave it to you, they'll give you a new one again.
Overall, the game is quite simple and you won't find any surprises in here. However, it's simplicity is what makes it addictive and enjoyable. There are a lot of items that you can loot from enemies as well as potions. It's quite fun to see your pet transform into a different kinds of monsters and let them fight for you. I highly recommend this dungeon crawler and I'm sure you'll enjoy it like I did.
