Honestly, I think this game is brilliant. It's heavily inspired by Diablo, and you can definitely see the similarities in the gameplay, dungeon crawling, loot system, and even the music. Normally, copying another game so closely might be a bad thing, but when the formula is this good, I really don't mind. Especially when you consider that some of the developers actually worked on Diablo themselves. The gameplay loop is simple but incredibly satisfying. Exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, collecting better gear, and improving your character makes it easy to lose hours without even noticing. I also like that it's a single-player experience, allowing you to enjoy the adventure at your own pace without needing other players. My only real complaints are that the story is fairly predictable and the RPG mechanics could have offered a little more depth. However, those issues don't take much away from the overall experience. For a single-player dungeon crawler, this game still holds up really well, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys games like Diablo.
One of the best Diablo clones out there. Torchlight was a nice surprise in this genre that was mostly dominated by Diablo 2 for decades. It plays similarly, in a isometric view but with 3d visuals. The plot is about a magic element called ember that gives magic powers. People coming to harvest it get down in the dungeons and find how the ember also corrupted past civilizations and are now creatures of all kinds. The game is splitted into 35 floors, with zones or regions changing every 4 floors in general. Each region ends with a boss fight that also propels the plot forward. In your town, you get access to shops, magic, equipment, chests to store your loot, etc. An original mechanic, is that you are joined by a pet that can attack enemies, carry equipment, and even sell loot back to town without you having to return to it. There are three selectable classes: a warrior, a wizard and a rogue. Each one have their own skill trees but expect the classical tropes associated with them. Sound and music is adequate enough, not memorable but it works with the atmosphere. It's quite a good game. It's not as wonderful as Diablo II, but if you still have the itch for a similar game, the Torchlight games are probably the best fit.
A solid Diablo 1 clone. I played it a decade and a half ago back when physical media was a thing, and again now. It still holds up honestly. If you are looking for a hack and slash RPG, you could do worse. I don't know why they seem to have borrowed more from the first Diablo game, when Diablo 2 came out almost a decade before this. Though I still appreciate the quality of life improvements like being able to send the pet back to town to sell gear. It has a passable plot, but not something you will remember a couple months later. An interesting McGuffin, Ember is something that you can use to socket and enchant items, and it is what is being corrupted by something in the bottom of the mine. The characters are rather boring and bland and one note. I honestly don't remember their names or anything about them, even right after playing it, but I can still remember everyone in Tristram. The environments all look well done and pretty cool, but nothing is really all that cohesive. When I think of the original Diablo it had a solid setting. From the church, to catacombs, and then into hell; all blurred together. In this game you go from mines, to jungle ruins, to suddenly a library/necropolis, then to magma caves, then to dwarven ruins and finally some kind of weird demonic fortress? There really isn't any kind of cohesion to it or realistic progression. The music for the town is lifted right from Diablo, and for the rest of the game it is passable. Honestly, the music and ambience isn't great, and I put my own music or podcasts over it. Sound effects are a mixed bag, they are mainly from other games/sound libraries. When I fired projectiles and a heard ricochet sounds from Turok 2, it really took me aback. The classes are alright, a mage, a ranger, and a warrior. All called different things, of course. The skills for each are interesting, but nothing really works well together. Diablo 2 came out before this game, but for some reason Torchlight took more inspiration from the first Diablo. None of the skills buff any other skills, and there really isn't any kind of a theme. You can't specialize into any single damage type, or really any class type, with your spells or abilities. It allows you to blend the different classes though, which is an interesting path to take. A Ranger/Vanquisher that uses staves and wands, or a Warrior/Demolisher that uses bows and guns. You can make some interesting blends, but it seems like they generally end up being weaker than pure builds. Regardless, it was a lot of fun to go back into and play again, and you can get it super cheap for something like $3.00 CAD when it goes on sale. I would recommend it if you are a big fan of this genre of games and are looking for something you haven't played in a long time, or haven't played before.
Torchlight is a wonderful Diablo 1 alternate with the similar ARPG gameplay with 3 classes to choose from. The story is a bit short, but the gameplay and music are eerily comparable. Once you complete the story you can continue to play to your heart's desire with randomized levels (floors) but do not expect anything new to really shake up the core gameplay. If you're looking for a mindless hack and slash alternate to Diablo, then you must try Torchlight.
Torchlight is a fantastic ARPG experience that keeps things simple yet fun to take part in. The graphics are cartoony style, akin to the time it was made and overall stand the test of time. Its quirky yet diverse in its build options with multiple ways to branch a character. The level design is simple and doesnt stray too out of the realm of safe, but a endless dungeon available at the end. Overall if your looking for a fun yet simple ARPG to dip your toes into, this would be the game.
