This is an ARPG game series where anyone can jump into very easy, games are lighter and less complex than any other ARPG's on the market today. Torchlight series does not take itself to seriously like other grim Diablo clones. This series can be a great entry for people interested in ARPG genre.
Torchlight
First game was released in 2009. by Runic Games, game company of former Blizzard employees who worked on Diablo games. Game received decent reviews and was well adopted by the public. Game is set in the fantasy town of Torchlight where our three main classes, Destroyer, Alchemist and Vanquisher get to explore surrounding areas and find some great loot to continue on a quest to beat the villain of story corrupted by the Ember ore that is mining below city of Torchlight. One of the main features of any good ARPG game is randomized set of dungeons that increases replayability of the game and Torchlight did that part great, also worth mentioning is addition of pet gameplay. Good entry into ARPG genre if you are late to the party.
Torchlight 2
After success of the the first Torchlight it was time for another sequel with more stuff in it. Second game was released in 2012. and it is one of the best games of that year, Game presented us with four new classes, Engineer, Outlander, Berserker and Ember Mage. Every class has completely different play style and that adds huge chunk of replayability to this game as well as randomized dungeons. This time game world is expanded by lush forests, far away deserts and ruins of ancient civilization in a very much eye pleasing art style. Beautiful game and great APRG for the ages. Check it out if you haven't.
