    Torchlight - Buy now![2010-04-02]

    Torchlight is now available in stores!

    Torchlight stands out with its near-perfect adaptability: Unlike many new games, Torchlight will run well on most Netbook machines with onboard graphics chips; while faster PCs will allow the game to show off all its brilliant effects and beautiful fighting animations.

    If you liked the Diablo series, this game is the perfect help to take your mind off the wait for the next instalment: With Torchlight, the creators of the original Diablo prove that they know exactly how to satiate the hunger we gamers feel – the hunger for near-perfect, action-laden, challenging, but not too hard, in short, almost perfect – gameplay!

    Think we’re exaggerating? Here’s what the gaming press said…
    • "All in all, Torchlight is a refreshing … dungeon crawler …The graphics are great, the music engrossing, and the gameplay addictive." - IGN - 86%
    • "So not only do you get a great game, but you get a great deal in every respect. Stop reading and start playing" - Gamespot - 80%


    Previously, Torchlight was available only via one online platform. Now, you have the opportunity to pre-order the game on Amazon and be among the first to receive a retail copy! For the fair price of £ 16.50, gamers can become part of the world of Torchlight, typically forgetting time and everything around them … thanks to publisher JoWooD and the developer, who together polished and tested the game to ensure technical stability and the best possible gameplay.

    Few games are as easy to get into as Torchlight … and few games are so hard to put down. Offering three entirely different player classes, an endless selection of weapons and armor, unique items, armor and weapon sets with special set vonuses, combat pets who can be transformed into different monsters, a fishing mini game, a multi-tiered skill system, random dungeons you can visit at any one time, dozens of quests, several difficulty levels, jewel crafting, and much more! (This game even contains a “Hardcore” mode specifically designed for all those Nethack veterans looking for a real challenge: If your hero dies in Hardcore, you get to make a new one … at Level 1 of course.). With around 35 hours needed for one play-through, and most of our friends playing all three hero classes, you’re looking at a huge cost-to- playing-time ratio. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you about just how great, even addictive, this game is: Torchlight – the first Action RPG blockbuster of 2010.
