PROS:
-Just like all the Action RPG's, Torchlight is an addictive and entertaining game.
- Somehow charming visuals.
- good duration between level-ups.
- Different and fun to use Classes.
- Some very neat skills.
- Good and suitable length. game finishes before it gets very boring and Repetitive. (of course the game has a lot to offer for people who are willing to continue the game after finishing the main storyline.)
- Some Nice music tracks. especially the torchlight town's music.
- Enchanting items is very fun. ( of course if you have a lot of money. )
- some people might think Torchlight is an easy game without challenge, but it offers a fair challenge ( especially at the end ) with the Hard difficulty or higher. although it's totally easier ( even at higher difficulties ) than other Diablo clones like Loki or Titan quest.
CONS:
- it Has nothing new to offer.
- Gets repetitive.
- Bad and somehow annoying story. although nearly all of the ARPG's suffer from a bad ( or average at best) story, but the story of this game is really bad. without any excitement or twist. an evil creature ordrak is the bad guy and corrupted a wise person named Alric and you have to defeat Ordrak and save Alric if you can and save the town of Torchlight and in this case, the world too. Whatever.
- Not a very good voice acting.
- Fishing is boring and you have to try a lot to catch a worthy fish.
- Many useless skills.
Verdict:
To sum up the review , I should say that Tochlight doesn't do anything ambitious and that's it's main problem. developers wanted to gain profit from a tested and guaranteed formula. Tochlight provides fun and entertainment. ( a thing that many games can do. ) and that means it has done it's primary mission as a game. but it won't do anything new, amazing or revolutionary. But I'm sure Runic games will do better with Torchlight 2 now that they have self confidence and know they can make something great.
