Even down to the music, it’s obvious where the inspiration for Torchlight is coming from (the composer had also worked on Diablo).īut influences aside, from what I’ve seen so far it’s a darned good game. It even uses many of the same keybinds – alt to look for items on the floor, shift to stand and shoot, mouse clicks to move. The devs (who include some of the Diablo II team) have captured perfectly the visceral feel of the old game. If you liked Diablo, this game is going to feel like coming home.



I mentioned Torchlight in dispatches last week, and the game was released yesterday to a flurry of excitement and acclaim.
