Torchlight is a hack-and-slash game which I really enjoyed playing about a month ago. Never got the will to do a proper review, but for $20 I think the game is very much worth it.

This weekend only, Torchlight is available on Steam with a discount price: $10. That’s more than a reasonable price for a game which you will surely enjoy. It does get a bit repetitive after a few hours but not to the point where it’s annoying or boring. You’ll finish the main storyline in about 10-12 hours, which is twice as much as what Modern Warfare 2 offers for $60.

Overall while I did find a few annoyances in Torchlight (example in image: item names overlap which makes it harder to pick them up sometimes), the game is very polished, runs extremely smoothly, graphics are impressive and I didn’t notice any bugs. System requirements are laughable: you can even play the game on netbooks.

There’s some talk about Torchlight MMORPG being in development and I’m really interested to see how that turns out. Until then, $10 or even $20 for this game is definitely worth it.
