Great Diablo Clone AgnarLotbrok
This game is a great clone of Diablo, available for the Xbox 360. The game is set in the mining town of torchlight, which serves as your fortress of operations. The game sends the player into a demented underground dungeon of corruption that could cause the whole world to eventually end. Along with your pet at you disposal, you will dive into that amazing world of Torchlight. Torchlight is your simple click to move dungeon crawler, with quick action, random dungeons, experience points, red and blue potions, random named bosses and so much different equipment, that it will make your head explode! :) This game is so much like diablo, that if you try and tell me otherwise, I WILL laugh in your face lol
Torchlight has tons of options for customization, rather it be your talent points, socketed gems, adding elements to your weapons or armor to the enchanter that can power your weapons and armor up beyond belief, or strip them naked! In Torchlight you have an option of three different classes, with three different talent trees to build up and enjoy. If your a big fan of tweaking stuff, or searching on place after another, your in for a treat.
Each of the characters start out with pets, either a cat or a dog. Your pet follows you through the dungeons, fights right along your side, and powers up just like you. Another cool feature, is by stopping and taking a little break, you can do some fishing. I have always loved this feature in my games. You can catch magical fish and feed them to your pet, which will change it into a total different monster for so many mins, with different power levels and stats. There are some fishing spots that are hidden a little better then others where you can catch more rare magical fish. Only bad thing is, I'm a fan of multiplayer and you really don't have that option, but if your pet keeps you company, you have got it made.
As expected, you have the option of going off the beaten path and doing a lot of fun sidequests. There are some NPC'S that give you these sidequests, and you can purchase maps from them and go into these various dungeons to complete your quests. So the way this game is presented it reminds me of a mix, Diablo and Warcraft, with elements def belated from the latter. The first time you encounter a goblin riding a steampunk mech, tell me if Warcraft does not pop into mind :) The music, we don't even need to go there, because if I'm not mistaken, the songs are by the same composer that did diablo. ;) One more awesome thing is there is a random item vendor. Now depending on the package you want, and what you want to pay and luck, you can walk away with a epic sword that kills monsters with one hit! Overall this is a great 360 arcade game and well worth the points you pay for it. So is part 2, but that's a different story, Game on my friends.!
