Not a “which is better?” thread, but a comparison thread.
I just downloaded this as part of the Humble Indie Bundle, but I don’t have a chance to play it. I am thinking of it for my wife, who (like me) was addicted to Diablo 2. I’d like to be able to give her a quick summary, despite not being able to test it out for her.
Is it, in fact, similar to Diablo 2? Care to elaborate?
Any minor contribution is appreciated.
I have close to 200 levels worth of characters in the orignal Torchlight.
like IMHO, original Torchlight is essentially Diablo 1½. One player, one town, one dungeon (until you gain access to a second dungeon by defeating the final boss) but with the added benefit of sending your pet to town to sell your castoffs so you can continue adventuring.
It’s also very moddable; someone took the time to collect the best class & pet mods into one big mod. Don’t recall what it’s called right now but it adds something like six new classes and a dozen new pets rather than three classes and two pets in vanilla.
Just checked. 22 new classes & 42 new pets! I think it’s from Jarcho.
