Torchlight has announced at PAX
that they will be launching October 27th and will be fully downloadable
for $19.99! Torchlight was on display at PAX over the weekend and we had the
opportunity to check out several of the classes and run through the levels.
There are three playable classes: Destroyer, Alchemist, and Vanquisher. Each
of these classes has several unique abilities for smashing, zapping, and
piercing their opponents. Levels are randomly created so each adventure is
unique. Monsters, treasure, puzzles and items are also different each time you
play the game!
We were able to get some hands-on time with the Destroyer class. He's a
powerful berserker who specializes in close-ranged combat
Here's the description for the Destroyer class:
The
Destroyer
An endless wanderer, who is drawn to conflict with his dual-welding blades, was
led to Torchlight after hearing of the evils befallen it. Through channeling the
power of his ancestors, the Destroyer excels at close-quarter combat and is able
to smite his foes with such ferocity as to easily dispatch multiple enemies at
once. With a strong sense of virtue, the Destroyer sets out to deal justice with
his blades, but things may not be as simple in Torchlight as they appear.
With a darkness rising to cloud the Destroyer’s judgment,
only time will tell whether or not the draw of Ember will tempt his soul into
corruption.
