Marooners' Rock Review: Torchlight (XBLA)

Chris writes: "I have fond memories of late nights spent playing Diablo and Diablo II with the only light in my room being provided by my glowing computer screen. Throw in a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos and a giant cup of Dr. Pepper or Pepsi (none of that Coca-Cola crap, thank you very much) and I had myself one hell of a Friday night. Runic Games brought together the mad skillz of Travis Baldree (designer of Fate), Max and Erich Schaefer (co-founders of Blizzard North and co-designers of Diablo and Diablo II), and Flagship Studios (developers of Mythos), with a secret, but very specific goal: to return me, specifically, personally, to that state of hack-and-slash bliss I felt so long ago. Well, from me to you, Torchlight is a mission accomplished."

I've got 1200 points waiting.

Kran4809d ago

I'd be getting a code for this if someone else on Nave360 wasnt reviewing it. Luckily, I too have 1200 MSP waiting for it :D

MaroonersRock4808d ago

We'll actually be giving away two codes for the game on our Twitter account on the 9th. If you guys want a shot follow @Marooners_Rock and we'll follow you back because winners will be DM'd.

Raider694809d ago

Does anyone knows if this game haves difficulty settings from the go ( Normal,hard.)?I hear that in normal is very very easy!?

RedBullGT4809d ago

They are all available from the beginning.

Raider694809d ago (Edited 4809d ago )

Thanks lol!I really dont like to start games in casual mode,if i dont get challenge from the beginning i normally drop games aside!

RedBullGT4809d ago

well if you want a real challenge, then you can do the hardcore mode on Torchlight. You only have one life for the whole game.

Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.

VenomUK674d ago

@Darthv72 How did you shift this story about the Xbox Games with Gold lineup into a negative about PSVR not supporting one of the games?! 🤣

crazyCoconuts674d ago

It's pretty impressive actually.

darthv72674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

Hmm... that is funny. I see it more as a negative against XB. Like other games on both, some offer a VR mode for PS and this looked like it should be one of them. Then again it doesnt even offer VR for PC so... ehh.

RedDevils674d ago

That how professional troll at their best work.

ChasterMies674d ago

Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?

crazyCoconuts674d ago

I guess if I paid $5/month for this crap I'd still want to know what I got...

Eidolon674d ago

Yeah, be interesting to know. I hardly care because of Game Pass now, still don't mind seeing what we get, but I've come to terms that it's mostly going to be nothing I'll play if have GP.

itsmebryan674d ago

They should get rid of games w gold. With Gamepass I have too many better games to even think about GWG.

crazyCoconuts674d ago

So they've managed to decrease the value you get each month without decreasing revenue by making the games crappier. If they still charged $5/month without giving you ANY games at all, it would open them up to criticism and direct comparisons to PS+ without any way to subjectively spin the message

Crows90674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

It's also part of gamepass ultimate. It's good to see since it directly competes with ps extra

northpaws674d ago

This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.

VersusDMC674d ago

Technically forcing people to move to Gamepass Ultimate. Regular gamepass doesn't include Gold.

Silly gameAr674d ago

I guess that's that value that everyone keeps talking about.

KillBill674d ago

Technically you aren't forced to buy anything. And Xbox Live gold can be bought separately. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

KillBill674d ago

What are you talking about you can still buy Xbox Live Gold on its own if you want to. You guys need to stop having conversations about Xbox if you know nothing about it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

Silly gameAr674d ago (Edited 674d ago )

I guess the comments flew right over your head, huh? If GP was such a good value, gold would come with game pass, without having to get the more expensive opinion.

KillBill674d ago

@silly - what? Point is that gold can be had WITHOUT game pass. simple as that. Nothing forcing you to buy game pass.

gamer9673d ago

@ Silly, not sure what you're trying to say, you want game pass ultimate for the price of xbox live gold? That's ridiculous the amount of full price day 1 games you get included in game pass - you don't get that for cheap. Nobody is forced to get game pass, if the value is there you subscribe. if there's a drought in games you unsubscribe like i just did a month ago. Will likely get back on game pass this fall/holiday and into 2023 when the games are flooding in.

The Best Dungeon Crawlers Not Named Diablo

From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."

Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.

The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
