Torchlight was ported to XBLA in March of 2011, following the original PC release in 2010. It hit a gap in the marketplace for an action role-playing game that played like Diablo with impact, and was a must have for anyone interested in the genre. Set in the fantasy town of Torchlight, you took on the role of a hero sent deep into the mines to stop an evil menace brewing below. This was an adventure spanning two years.
Following the official release of the RTX Remix runtime, modders have renewed their efforts to remaster classic PC games like Torchlight.
It’s time to announce the July Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, capture photos of the wondrous Beasts of Maravilla Island, and survive being stranded on a desolate moon base in Relicta. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, build and ride rollercoasters in Thrillville: Off the Rails, […]
Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.
Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?
This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.
From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."
Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.
The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
An enjoyable quick read. I really need to get back into Torchlight at somepoint as I spent a stupid amount of hours playing it when it first came out.
I thought it was a real shame Torchlight II never came to consoles.
