Torchlight Review - It's Clobberin' Time

First of all, I NEVER played a Diablo game so this is kinda like new territory for me and I like it.

So Powerful, The Ground Makes Lighting (Ok... kinda corney)

The game takes plane in a town called Torchlight and no sooner you step into it, trouble is happening. You get thrown into a situation to cure your self and stop Alric evil deeds.

The overall story is meh but it's the overall gameplay that will keep you hook for hours on end. The Character range from Vanquisher (Hunter / Rogue), Alchemist (Mage / Summoner) or Destroyer (Warrior) are highly customizable in terms of ability and gameplay so if you want a Gun wielding Alchemist or Close-Range Vanquisher, you can do that. You also have a pet that can hold items and better yet, go to town to sell extra item / gear for needed cash. You can also change your pet to many different types of various strengths and weakness and can learn any 2 spell (of many) scrolls you buy or find.

But what about the environment... It's awesome, vivid colors, many environments ranging from mine shafts, dwarf fortress and more. You can see for yourself in the pics.

And Finally... Loot.. Loot.. Loot.. So Many Loot you might save for other classes till you kinda out lvl your weapon or/and armor. If you get unfortunate w/ loot you need, you can always enchant them but be warned, it's not 100% and your weapon/armor can be left w/ nothing but nothing like a mod can fix for you and I'll get into it at a later date..

Their is flaws like the enchantment failing but the two other is lack of more buttons and no extra mouse support. First, the Button Issue. I have a Pure Alchemist Summoner and keeping my pets up w/ buffs and myself up w/ spells and potions. I have tons of spells / abilities but the game gives you 10 hotbar space.when I have atlease 13 I need. They try to make up for it w/ binding the F1,2,3,4,ect buttons as a quick switch button but it's fail. Needless to say this cause problems for me and my survivability. Similar to the 1st problem is no support for mouses more then 3 buttons. The extra mouse buttons could help but guess that forgot or something.

    

Anyways, It's a very fun and addicting game and I recommend you buy it on Steam or on Runic Games site or even DL the demo from steam or their site. I'll be doing a Special MOD edition of this soon but you can go Right HERE if you want to see New and good mods.
