At this time of the week, Epic is going to renew their weekly free title. And replacing the kitchen crawler Overcooked of the last week is the dungeon crawler Torchlight!
Watch this trailer of the game below to see what Torchlight looks like:
Torchlight is a 10-year-old dungeon brawler from an ill-fated studio
Torchlight is the product of Runic Games, and it first came to the public in 2009. At that time, the game has received a lot of high rewards from its Diablo-like gameplay that have some unique features of its own.
The game tells the story in a fictional fantasy town surrounded by plenty of dungeons. The people here have found a mysterious ore called "Ember". It has the magical ability, allow it to enhance or imbue everything it touches, including human's being.
With that huge potentials, Ember has brought about a trend of dig and exploit it. As a result, people and monsters everywhere have gathered in the town to find the Emblem ores. Your character is one of them.
About its gameplay
At the start, Torchlight gives you three classes to choose from. It includes the Destroyer - the melee class that knows how to cast spells; the Vanquisher - the ranged classes that's capable of setting traps and perform stealth attacks; and the Alchemist - the mere caster.
The classes in the game are not the best example of their types as they can perform some unique skills from the other classes. However, that might be the attracting parts of the game, since you are not limited in the stereotype.
Everything else in the game is quite similar to other dungeons crawler, where you'll level up, loot items after defeating monsters, upgrade your skills, and enchant your weapons. And if you feel bored after experience the same class for a long time, you can retire and try new characters. Pets also appear in Torchlight, and aside from fighting with you, it also can carry your items as well.
Runic Games was bought by Perfect World Entertainment and then went down with the new developer in 2017. However, the creators of Torchlight is still working on another free MMO game called Torchlight Frontiers.
