Sounds interesting.  They have a demo on Steam.  I'm going to give it a go (and $20 is pretty reasonable if I like it).

Well I splurged and grabbed it and so far the games pretty fun.  I looks like World of Warcraft but plays like diablo.  I think they guy who did the diablo music worked on this as well.  So far it's been a good time.

That does it for me. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent tweaking BoBaFeTT or doing Cow Runs with that game.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I hated Diablo, so I guess I'd hate this too. The videos just made me shrug and go "meh", so I guess even for $5, I just don't care.

That probably goes without saying.  It looks just like Diablo and is developed by two ex-Blizzard employees who developed Diablo and Diablo II.  However, millions of people did like Diablo quite a bit.

It also plays and feels like a cross between Diablo and Diablo II, some people even call it Diable 1.5.  I picked TorchLight up during their new years sale and it was fun for a while, but didn't hold my attention long enough to finish the story.  However, I don't regret my purchase because I still got several hours of enjoyment out of it and think it's definately worth $5.

The one recommendation I can give is to make sure to listen to the instructions about how anyone who's played Diablo should play on Hard mode because I first tried Normal mode and there was zero challenge.
