Torchlight is _______(randomly generated word here) that tries to ________ extend it's total gameplay time by __________ .

My experience with it was lots of grinding, spamming the same one useful special ability over and over. Because of it's randomization of equipment, and linear RPG nature the game gets less fun and more tedious the higher level you get. Your super awesome equipment? Yeah, it's pretty much worthless when even against a common spider when your at a high level. The enemies stats all scale up, but yours rely on whatever crap you can find, so each encounter takes longer and longer just to kill simple enemies.

If you expect story from this RPG you get what, like 10 paragraphs of dialogue throughout the main plot line. It starts of with a little intro whenever your about to enter a new series of levels that use a diffent palette.

It's not challenging from either an action, adventure or strategy perspective, it's just large amount of grinding away.

TL;DR : Avoid.  Grindfest and Numbers game.
