- Costs $20 to buy everything. Game is not free.

KEY FEATURES
* Randomization – Our level layouts are randomly created, so each adventure is unique. Monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items are also different each time you embark on an adventure.
* Easy, approachable interface – Torchlight is designed to be easy to play right from the beginning. The intuitive interface gives players easy access to a rich and varied world.
* Retirement System – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can “retire” and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters.
* Pets – Players will choose a pet to accompany them. Pets can level up along with the player, and will help in battle, carry items, and perform a variety of helpful services.
* Character Classes – Players will create and customize a character and choose an animal companion. Through cosmetic choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire, each character will be custom-tailored and different.
* Fishing – Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of adventuring to visit one of the fishing holes and relax and see what they can catch. Fish have interesting benefits for the player and pet, and other rewards can also be discovered
* Editor – Runic Games is embracing our modding community by providing an editor so our players can create and design their own content.

I am seriously considering buying this game, to tickle my creative feather.

Can this be bought with a prepaid card?

If so, my opinion has changed about it.

Haha, just bought it too.

It looks quite intresting, I might read more about.

I just have to say... This game IS worth the money, and will give you more joy than a majority of MMORPGs. With the interactive community, and modding programs (soon to come out). You'll have the time of your game life.

My character after 2hrs of gameplay, and I'm still loving it.

[Kuro no Keiyakushu]

I want it now.

Oh, and by the way,

How is Torchlight an, MMO?

I called it an MMO, cuz the add-on content is controlled in an MMO fashion. And it's naturally single player, but I corrected it cuz you're a buzzkill.

And yes it is fun ^.^

Yeaup, just a bit cheesier graphics. (Which I actually like)

Oh, and there's probably something different, but you're gonna have to talk to Icy 'bout that.
