Review: Torchlight

Where does one buy this game?
I'm guessing Steam but I'd really rather not download Steam just to buy one game.
Nevermind. With a quick glance at the Torchlight homepage, I see that it isn't technically out till noon here (two hours) and is available from there. I will certainly be picking this up.

There is a listing of all their distribution partners - here [http://www.torchlightgame.com/gamenews/2009/10/20/torchlight-partners/]. I think there are still plans for a boxed version at a later date though. It's 10% off if you pre-order on Steam though, so it might still be worth it to pick up there.Gxas said:
John Funk, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me something to do while I wait for D3
lets hope it lasts the 10 year blizzard dev cycle
it looks like a D2/WoW hybrid, but i dont care how it looks, its how it plays for me, and d2 is one of my fave games ever so im sold

Regarding multiplayer from the Torchlight FAQ:
"Q: Will I be able to play Torchlight online?
A: Because of the relatively short development window and tiny development team, we decide to focus our efforts on making a complete single-player experience. However, we are already in development of a massively multiplayer action-RPG set in the world of Torchlight for future release."

I hadn't heard about this game before I read this now I MUST get it. I'm a huge fan of diablo-esque dungeon crawlers (dungeon siege, Titan quest, ect.). I'm off to see if I can scrounge up 20$.
Oh, and about the lack of multi-player, I've never played any of those kind of games in any way other than solo so that's not an issue for me.

Hell's Yeah! A dungeon crawler made by former Diablo employees? I'm in.
I used to think that John Funk was a terrible reviewer after the InFamous and Risen reviews but I'm glad I got to know about the game through this.

I've actually just bought this from steam, although it seems to think that it's not been released yet, although it's come out... TODAY.(the day I bought it.)
So I guess I'm playing the waiting game with Steam...

I just heard of this game today and was a bit interested, until I learned it has a very impressive editor with it that can do some pretty cool things.
I'd still like to try a demo for it, but right now with the knowledge I know of the editor, this makes me think of "Diablo" with "Neverwinter Nights" editor.
*drool*

Hmm... Well, too bad. Diablo 2's main selling point for me was the multiplayer fun. But if it's good enough to entertain me till Borderlands becomes available in Europe... Also, good to see that developers care about European customers - I was expecting 20 EUR for it at Steam, but it's lower than that - only 16 EUR, 13.20 with the discount.CantFaketheFunk said:
