Bright where its rivals are grim, Torchlight sends a lone adventurer beneath a boomtown built on a magical ore called Ember. Runic Games, founded by veterans of Diablo and Fate, kept the formula simple and warm: descend randomized dungeons, fill your bags with loot, haul it back to town to sell, and send your pet cat or dog to run the shopping for you. Three classes, a light story, and an art style closer to a storybook than a dungeon. A compact, generous crawler that asks little and returns a steady drip of reward.
