Torchlight is a diablo like RPG highly cartoon-stylized
it is the Mythos team, (previously working under Flagship with the Hellgate engine)

I downloaded this game and so far I logged in about 6.5 hours of playtime. It's a great game for the price. I'm not a fan of the cartoony visuals though. The lack of multiplayer is disconcerting. It gets pretty lonely by yourself, lol. But just imagine if it had LAN support, my god it'd be so much better in my opinion. "I" don't see how this game in the near future can compete against Diablo 3 though, maybe when it gets multiplayer support.
But all in all its a great game worth checkin' out.

i just tested this demo on steam, and it was slightly amusing. it's like diablo for beginners. even the music was almost identical to the tristram-esque music of d1 and d2. sound effects are the same, scrolls and waypoint system are the same... but it was fun. not fun enough to get me away from borderlands though

Matt uleman did the music, same guy from diablo. i like his stuff.
Free demo on steam i think everyone should check out, free, steam = awesome.
the game will be getting an MMO version, possibly within the next year. Lan is certainly something people are asking for as SP gets booring to me too.
its not ment to compete with d3 directly, even travis stated he was going to be first in line when d3 is out,, i'll back budge
the game is DAMN hard on VHM and certainly HC mode. i play normal and you can get swarmed fast past level 20., shared stash and retirement are neat features, The game is going to be ultra friendly to modders, so you can expect to see many custom assets soon (with release of their editor PC only)
