... nice try... so please now post what you really meant :P 

shambler 

It's a flash game fairly similar to "escape the room" type flash puzzle games, but now you're trying to disassemble a radio:

I liked that the one part wasn't a hard fail. That would have pissed me off... 

yeah, i got a little annoyed for a bit then figured it out. :P 

Did not make any sense to me, the dismantle radio puzzle, turned the various dials and nothing happened, no visual clues about what is going on. I usually dismantle stuff with a screwdriver! :P 

ok that was cool, but what confused me was the wording, the icon in the top right said 'back' which really mean't, turn the radio around and look at the back. The word back usually means go backwards in a menu or an option. Oh well ... 

It's basically Gothic 2 with better graphics. And since I'm a G1/2 fanboy, I totally enjoyed the hell out of this game. Awesome atmosphere, I had a great time.

There's a demo, too. 

What negke said, I approve. 

Just spent about 2 or 3 hours playing this through to the end, and its a great little game!

Its pure Diablo, with a new lick of (very colourful) paint. It brings back some fond memories for me of slashing through Diablo 2.

+ Runs great even on my shitbag of a pc, I could even turn on AA!

+ Doesn't pretend to be anything more than a clickfest dungeon crawler, and thats cool with me.

+ The dog is a great idea, you can send it back to town with all your vendor trash and it will sell it all for you, so you can carry on killing things :)

- Voice "acting" is appallingly bad! Kinda made me laugh though.

- As others said, its easy as pie even on normal skill, I should have played on hard. PLAY ON HARD!

- I cared less about the quests in this game than I do in WoW. Half the time I would just be content to kill things, and when a quest item popped up it was just a nice perk :P

Very tempted to buy the full version of this, I think I'll try out the other 2 classes 1st though, the mage was good fun however! 

isn't this exactly like what fate was? what happens when you clone a clone of a game? o.0 

It just makes another fun game?
Most of the Torchlight guys are the original developers of Diablo1 from Blizzard North, so they can do whatever they want with this type of game as far as I'm concerned.

I'm almost done playing through on Very Hard with an Alchemist, and I've had a blast, just good old hack-n-slash fun, if you like Diablo like games it's definitely worth it (cheap too). 

The pet sounds like a carbon copy from Fate - sending it to sell stuff, transforming it with fish. 

Doesn't seem as soulless as Fate was, doesn't tempt me enough to waste any of my precious free time. 

I feel so ripped off. The most recent necros map I played was so similar to the previous necros map I played. I mean I liked the last one and I really like this one too, but fuck, the style and setting and other things are so similar it's almost like it's made by the same guy or something.

I know I've been wanting a new necros map for years and I've been grumbling about how no other maps come close to how awesome that last one was but come on, I mean this new one is so cheap it might as well be free so if I'm paying that much surely I shouldn't get exactly what I want and expect? 

About Fate yeah, the lead designer on Torchlight was the designer of Fate, so those similarities aren't so surprising either. 

THe last Fribbles map sucked anyway.

What was the last Fribbles map BTW??

Also, Risen, see my post in L4D2 thread. 

 

um... what? you are comparing a commercial, separate game, to maps designed to be played all in the same game that are free?

that argument might have been valid if if this was fate2 i suppose, and even there it would be a stretch. 

Just making the point that the similarities are not surprising given the heritage of the developers, and their intentions... and it's precisely what the target audience wants anyway. 

my initial reaction was *because* it was designed by the same team. (hence why i mentioned fate and not diablo).

meh, i guess fate just wasn't very visible and so no one remembers it while everyone remembers the last doom or quake game. 

I remember Fate well... even though I only played it for a very short time. (ijed hit it on the head, it was just a bit soulless..)

Torchlight is the good version of Fate, for sure.

p.s. sorry necros, that wasn't really directed at you by the way, just kinda sick of the silly comments in general about how Torchlight is a "rip off" of Diablo/2/Fate. (Mostly elsewhere, not here). 

Simple 2D-block-physics flash puzzle game, doesn't take to long to finish, good variety of puzzles.
