Game : Torchlight
Time Played ATM : 9 hours
Characters : level 32 Mage, level 6 Warrior

Review: Despite having spent a meagre eight hours on Torchlight I can definitely say that this is a very, very good hack and slash diablo-style RPG.

The game's art style is cartoony, and I feel this work in favour of the game, as it goes perfectly in sync with the underrated soundtrack. The sound effects are nothing special in this game but the musical score is truly spectacular keeping the player enticed.

The levelling system I believe to be very noob-friendly and helps ease new players into the genre, however seasoned veterans will not be pleased with its dire simplicity in comparison to Diablo 2. Although, I feel the combat is on par with Diablo and is very addictive, the click-fest will keep your eyes glued to the screen and your hands to the mouse/keyboard for hours on end.

There are some down-sides to the game however. The distinct lack of multiplayer is painful, and after you've played through the campaign several times you will start to get bored.

Pros:
~ Nice Graphics
~ Low Price (£15)
~ Great Gameplay
~ Amazing soundtrack

Cons:
~ Lack of multiplayer
~ Levelling system can seem weak

Verdict: I thoroughly recommend this game to anyone who has two brain cells and £15 to spend on this gem
