ЭЛЕМЕНТ СЛУЧАЙНОСТИ
Ни одно приключение не будет походить на предыдущее. Игроку доступно семь детально проработанных типов ландшафта, которые каждый раз будут строиться случайным образом. Расположение противников, сокровищ, головоломок и предметов каждый раз будет новым.
ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ МОДИФИКАЦИИ
Все инструменты, использованные при создании Torchlight, полностью доступны вам в пакете TorchED. С их помощью вы сможете как просто подстроить игровой процесс под свои предпочтения, так и полностью изменить весь игровой мир.
ПИТОМЦЫ И РЫБАЛКА
Отвлекитесь от битв и головоломок и отправьтесь порыбачить! Улов может помочь в вашем приключении. Кстати, странствовать одиночку вовсе не обязательно: при старте игры вы выбираете себе питомца-компаньона. Питомец может носить поклажу, помогать вам в бою и даже превращаться в нечто более могучее, если вы скормите ему определенную рыбку!
ОТСТАВКА
Приключение не заканчивается, даже если герой уходит на покой. Отправьте его в отставку — а новому персонажу достанется в наследство уникальный улучшенный предмет.

"What if diablo 1 was remade and it was way better in literally every single way except the graphics are generic cartoon instead of realistic, dark, and gritty?"
There you go, that's this game. It's really good, but be warned, play it on, at least, the hard difficulty, normal is waaay too easy
Fun game that doesn't require a lot of angst to progress (at least on easy). Hack and slash dungeon crawler with enough variation to keep things fun and not too repetitive. I do wish there were more story to investigate, but it is a fine way to kill time.
Worth the sale price if you're a fan of the genre, although the sequel probably does everything better.
pretty fun, cartoony arpg.
In 2025 I think it holds a niche of being a simple, lightweight, offline arpg that plays well on a Steamdeck.
light and fun, have dog roaming around spamming heal
It might have been good in 2009, but it has just not aged very well.
Pros:
* Simple, intuitive controls
* Fun animations, nice character models and armor/weapon models.
* Fun skills with interesting combat that'll keep enemies coming and dying.
* Charming environment, artstyle and music.
Cons:
* 99% of item drops are trash and drop too frequently. You'll end up heading to town every 5 minutes to clear your inventory.
* Quests are repetitive and get boring almost instantly. They are all of the type "go into this dungeon and collect X item" or "kill X monster in level 7". All of the quests are given by the same two NPCs. Even Fate had more variety than that.
* Fishing is a brain dead minigame and while turning your pet into a creature is fun, it is never made clear what creatures are vulnerable/strong against other creatures.
* Pet, minion and fiend pathing is abysmal. My pets and minions were constantly getting stuck or would stop fighting if other monsters blocked their path and they were in "move to" mode.
* Pets and minions sometimes miss their attacks because the attack animation fails to complete before the enemies move away. This makes pets and minions half as effective as they should be, and honestly made one talent tree for the Alchemist feel like a complete waste. Once I noticed this issue, I had to roll a new character.
* Gems are too few and far in-between to make gem combination relevant. Also, gems on armor feel like a waste.
* Talent trees were given a formidable try, but still fell flat from expectations. One big issue I see here is that you get one point per experience or fame level increase, but you can put up to 10 points per talent, meaning you'll be spending a long time maxing out one good talent, and in turn, not getting to explore the rest of the tree, making the gameplay feel somewhat monotonous.
Overall, I feel like Torchlight is a re-skin of Fate, but with downgraded mechanics and somehow less inspiration.
Fun but dated.
Superseded by Torchlight 2, which is basically a better version of the same game, so play that instead.
Best game ever
Good Dungeon crawler with nice modding support with tool.
While 2 is better, this one still has charm as a simple ARPG. Mods help the experience greatly.
A great game for its time, but even back when it was released, it didn't do anything extraordinary that other ARPGS weren't already doing. I won't give it a negative review, because it is still a well put together game that does most things right. You will only be disappointed if you're expecting a fresh take on the genre. It didn't even do that in 2009. Torchlight was just a well timed release because of the drought of this type of game at the time. Most of the games mentioned below came in post 2012 other than Titan quest which was 2006.
If you're looking for a cheap ARPG to play with a different story, Torchlight 1 & 2 are decent enough. Somewhere below Path of Exile 2, Diablo 4, Titan Quest, and Grim Dawn. On par or better than Diablo 3, Path of Exile 1, and the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Take Torchlight for a spin during a lull, just don't over-hype it in your mind.
Look, this is a good game and for the price it is well worth it.
The graphics are great, the the story is decent and it is quite playable.
It is one of the better dungeon crawlers/hack slash/button mash RPG's with tons of loot etc.
But the game is basically a copy of Diablo and it comes no where near it in terms of play-ability & fun.
Will you enjoy Torchlight, yes, is it worth the price tag, yes, but don't expect it to "wow" you.
I love this ARPG so much. It's simple, easy, and extremely replayable. Pick it up and just jam for 4 hours. You will beat the game. You will mildly enjoy yourself. It's nothing special but it's so much better than the spreadsheet trash (POE, ect.) that exists out there today. Try this game! You don't need autism to enjoy this ARPG.
Torchlight 1 is still a good game, despite what everyone says. The gameplay is solid and still offers amusement, and it's a good buy, especially if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Doesn't run on modern machines. Tried half a dozen fixes for Windows 11 and no luck.
It's a well made game, but there are so many other better ARPG's out there nowadays, like I don't mean to be harsh but like... why would you play this over the sequel, for example?
There's three classes, barbarian, bow and arrow girl, and the fucking twit with the magic stick.
All of them play relatively the same after a while though, a lot of the upgrades aren't that significant beyond being stat increases, and there's hardly any variety when it comes to the enemies or the areas; heck, there isn't even multiple areas to explore, the game just kinda has a hub area that serves as the camp you've seen in any other ARPG, and then there's a big cave that just goes on and on and on... after a while that cave turns into a dungeon of sort, but that's about all it goes for variety sake for the first hour or so.
It's just... so much of this genre has been perfected over multiple games, both in gameplay, presentation, heck, even story... as if story was something that most players really wanted out of this ARPG, I mean, from what I know most players of these types of games don't really care that much about the story as much as for the gameplay.
So overall, I was just left a tad bit disappointed by it? I was expecting a more basic Torchlight, and that's exactly what I got, but there was nothing here to keep me going, I just kept thinking about a whole bunch of other ARPG's that do this but much, much better.
Fun game with Diablo 1 vibes.
WOW is this game not fun
Was my first proper foray into the point-and-click style top down action rpg genre. The rpg/leveling and gear systems were easy to get the hang of but still very flexible and fun to play around with. Would recommend for people wanting to grt into the genre. Also nowadays really easy to run on old laptops/computers. Fun game.
While on modern standards Torchlight is janky it's still a decent experience.
This game has such low pc requirements that you can probably play it at 120fps on a Samsung fridge.
Almost as good as Diablo 3.
Torchlight is an enjoyable action RPG that delivers a solid and engaging experience. Playing as a Destroyer on Hard difficulty felt appropriately challenging, and the game's art style and atmosphere were impressive for their time, adding to the overall appeal.
While not as deep as Diablo II, Torchlight has a charm of its own. The loot system kept things interesting, and the main quest provided enough variety without the need for extra farming. The difficulty ramped up steadily, especially around Floor 32, which made for some memorable moments. Though experience gain could feel a bit slow, the progression was still satisfying, and the final battle with Ordrak brought everything to a fitting conclusion.
Overall, Torchlight is a good game for anyone who enjoys action RPGs, offering a laid-back yet engaging adventure that's well worth playing.
Torchlight is a Great Diablo Clone.
it's alright
In the days before Torchlight 2 existed, I suppose this was fine, but those days are far behind us. The quality of life and quality of combat is improved in nearly every way in the sequel. So, alas, I cannot recommend the original.
good old school game
Love it. Old school. Relaxes me. Loving farming gem upgrades.
Great alternative to Diablo II
This game has a OG Diablo feel since it was created by former Blizzard staff.
Nice relaxing minimum thinking type of game
A great old-school but new graphics hack and slash to the bitter end! Tons of fun for serious and casual gamers alike!
This game used to be available on the XBL Arcade.
That is when I first played it.
I've always felt Torchlight managed to fit a whole lot of game mechanics, into a game that didn't need it.
I do believe it made the game GREATER and granted the ability to grow a player base over the years.
But certain aspects can be confusing.
Even after your first play through, you're not going to fully understand everything unless you take time to research.
Regardless, I am just complaining about the game being too good haha.
9/10 Would recommend
Very good ARPG. Been a fan of this game before it was on steam.
Wasn't gonna review but seeing a mixed rating on such a classic game makes me sad. Comparing a 2009 indie to 2024's ARPG-scene is just dumb af.
Rest in peace, Runic Games.
Lose your save the game.
Torchlight: A Timeless Classic!
As someone who just jumped into Torchlight for the first time, 12 years after its release, I can confidently say it has been a delightful experience! The vibrant graphics truly stand the test of time, bringing a charming world to life that is both colorful and immersive. I didn’t encounter any performance issues, which is always a plus, especially for a game with such a rich aesthetic.
One of my favorite features is the pet support ability. Having a companion that not only fights alongside me but also doubles as a backpack is a game-changer! It allows for extended dungeon crawling without the hassle of frequent trips back to town, letting me focus on the adventure and loot. This mechanic really keeps the momentum going and makes the gameplay feel fluid and enjoyable.
I also appreciated the numerous achievements available, which keep players like me, who love completing challenges, engaged and motivated. While I usually gravitate towards more linear games due to my ADHD, Torchlight struck a great balance. The maps are designed well enough that I rarely felt lost, which is a huge plus for me.
Finally, after what felt like an epic journey, I finally snagged my last legendary ring from the final boss, completing my set. The thrill of that moment was totally worth it!
Overall, Torchlight has proven to be a fantastic dungeon crawler that balances fun mechanics with beautiful visuals, making it a must-play for anyone looking to dive into a classic. Highly recommended!
worth playing for many hours

The pet system is a delightful addition, allowing players to send their companions to town to sell items, adding a layer of convenience to the experience.
The game’s dungeons are procedurally generated, which keeps each playthrough fresh and unpredictable.

Dive into the depths of the mines, uncover hidden treasures, and enjoy every moment of this enchanting journey!
It's a bit boring tbh
Revisiting the game, it just feels clunky compared to other ARPGs.
It was 2008 when Diablo 3 was first announced. That game was widely criticized for its "cartoonish" graphics. Torchlight was made to look similar to those Diablo 3 screenshots and was released in 2009. Until Diablo 3 came out in 2012, we only had Torchlight.
This game is not a Diablo 3, Diablo 4, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, or Dungeon Siege. We do not travel to different geographies on a large map. Rather, it looks a lot like Diablo 1. There is a dungeon consisting of 35 floors, and we are progressing on these floors.
If you like Diablo 1, this will offer a very familiar taste. Offering 15-20 hours of gameplay for one character is an enjoyable experience. They have created an adventure that can be played and finished in no time.
However, instead of continue developing the game for a long time, they chose to release Torchlight 2 in 2012. That's why playing this for repetitive content may seem meaningless today.
Don't have high expectations and you will get some fun.
6: Average - Some may love and talk about it, but nothing more.
I noticed that I haven't played this one through at all and it had been a while since I played an aRPG so..let's try it.
I started as the ranged character. The bow/gun build or whatever. Well. it went great until no bows drop at all after level 5. I was at dungeon level 22 and I was still peppering things with my level 5 bow with 170dps. It took SO long to kill anything and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I checked the shops and the bows that were on sale for 10k gold only gave me 190dps instead..so I stuck with my old bow and just kept going. Sometime later I encountered some weird goblin archers that oneshot me with explosive arrows. I had full health of 800 and I literally went from 100% to 0% in ONE explosive shot. Well, I checked the shops again and all the gear they were selling was worse that I got on. Hm. So I was doing no damage and I couldn't take hits from the enemies anymore.. so I gambled my last 8000 gold and got only level 4 items from the vendor.
This game is unplayable mess that is so awfully balanced giving gear so I could not finish it.
It was a good thing to wait 10 years to try this again and realise that I didn't miss anything. Good going.
I haven't played Diablo, but I think this is a Diablo-like. You have your choice of three classes, and your job is to go down into various depths and mazes, troll around, defeat baddies, get stronger, upgrade weapons, and sell loot. The graphics have a nice steampunk aesthetic and pretty cute. I'd say the biggest aspect of this is inventory management, figuring out what to keep, what to sell, what kind of battle plan you want to implement. There's also a lot here that doesn't seem to matter, like pets or fishing. Extra junk that the programmers put in. In fact, a lot of aspects of this game are all "death by a thousand cuts" instead of a bigass warhammer.
The game gets awfully repetitive after a while.
I'm certain that you have better games in your library, but the first Torchlight serves well as an afternoon's distraction. However, this game isn't much compared to its later iterations. If you're playing this game for lore reasons, don't bother, as that has never been a focus of the series. If you like turning off your brain and clicking on things until they explode, however, this is worth a shot.
Nothing brings more joy than obliterating enemy hordes with steel⚔️🪓 magic🔥❄️⚡ and gunpowder💣💥
Retirement of the character can not be undone.
Yes, it could happen to you too!
Accidents happen.....this is why such things should be possible to undo.
Old game..... takes me back. Really good game. Old graphics has not aged well.
For some reason every few years I come back to it, guess it's a nice way to kill some time. Must be the chill atmosphere and music
