Torchlight

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 4, 2011

Is torchlight any good? It's on sale and I'm tempted to buy it, it looks a lot like magicka which I already have though

AsRock · Jul 4, 2011

It's a great single player game if you like games like NWN. The games not massive or have uber graphics but it is fun to play.

Try the demo out..

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 4, 2011

Hmm I might, I don't have a computer capable of playing anything more than wow on lowest settings atm. My mobo failed and I'm currently waiting for money to be transfered to my pay pal so I can buy a asrock mobo lol

It don't take that much to run it.

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 4, 2011

yee, but all I have atm is a laptop that can barely play the sims..

The PC version will require Windows XP or later, x86-compatible 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 400MB Hard Drive space, DirectX-compatible 3D graphics with at least 64MB of addressable memory (such as an ATI Radeon 7200, NVIDIA GeForce 2, or Intel GMA 950). An internet connection is required for the digital download version to activate your installation.

The requirements are so low, we are even able to play Torchlight on the netbooks around the office!

Unless that laptop is older than the hills, it should run.

Torchlight was actually designed to run on the lowest end hardware they could find. In an interview I remember hearing the developers talk about the importance for making games accessible in that regard. That there will always be a hefty number of people running games on lowest settings using either old laptops, old computers, or just low end hardware. Ignoring said people would be silly.

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 4, 2011

Woah, I could run this on my old Emachine

Yup, assuming those specs are accurate I could have technically run this on the Gateway I had almost 10 years ago... damn lol.

Torchlight 2 should be coming out soon, it will include multiplayer and whatnot.

BazookaJoe · Jul 4, 2011

Torchlight actually has a "Netbook Mode" - just under sound volume.

It's a fun Diablo Clone that runs on almost anything and even supports windowed play properly so you can keep it open behind work if you want

Good thing about this game is that it has a netbook specific support as well and features Steam Cloud. So you can play it on PC and then continue on netbook as you go somewhere. It's pretty cool.

Mr McC · Jul 4, 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

tianhui · Jul 4, 2011

Ran on my old ATI 2400 HD maxed
Runs on Intel integrated graphics

As mentioned above, it resembles Diablo
Tons of fun.

Get the shaman class addon that was comminuty made, once you do you will never play anything else it has everything you want / need!

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 5, 2011

I've never played Diablo...

How about titans quest or guildwars ?

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 6, 2011

No, my friend plays guild wars and I was tempted though.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 6, 2011

My copy just arrived in the mail. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Deathspank. It's fun.

As it should since Deathspank is basically a more parody-ridden version of Torchlight which is just a more casual version of Diablo.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 7, 2011

Actually, I changed my mind: Torchlight is too repetitive and mindless. It's okay, but nothing fantastic.

Titans Quest yes. IMO Torchlight is more fun, But how does it compare to Guildwars? I played a lot of GW and I wouldn't compare the two at all.

I mean the veiw point form which you play not really the game play.

Using that logic Counter-Strike is akin to Oblivion?
