Torchlight is an Action-RPG developed by Runic Games in 2009. The gameplay is akin to Diablo and other semi-random dungeon crawlers. You reside in the town of Torchlight and venture into a series of randomized dungeons to slay monsters, find loot, and gear out your characters. Take control of one of the three classes (Destroyer, Alchemist, or Vanquisher) and complete quests to defeat increasingly difficult monsters.
