Diabolical Promises: Torchlight


A large chunk of the PC gaming world seems positively frothy in anticipation of Diablo III, but there are other dungeon crawlers on the horizon too, including the splendid-looking Torchlight, from Runic Studios. It's by some of the same chaps who worked on Fate, so it's easy to get an idea of what to expect: randomly generated levels, lovely design, and lots of goblins. It should be super-playable, too, and allow us to create our own levels and scenarios. I've posted the trailer below, and blimey, it's looking good. Check out that troll!

The game is out on the 27th of October and will be a $20 download.
