Torchlight Trailer: The Valiant Vanquisher

The chaps over at Runic Games--a studio composed of former Flagship/Blizzard refugees--have released a new trailer for their upcoming Diablo-esque title, Torchlight.

Speaking of Diablo, does that music sound reminiscent? It should! Diablo composer Matt Uelmen is providing a full score for the game.

The singleplayer Torchlight hits on October 27. We saw the game at PAX, so we'll have more on Torchlight--including an interview with Runic co-founder Peter Hu--in the coming days.

Looking great. Since we'll probably see torchlight 2 before diii, this is a nice hold-me-over.

The colorful design is an issue with Diablo III because it is out of sync with the original games, but this being an original IP they can pretty much do anything they want, as long as they do it well.

The only bad thing is that there is no online. I've never had fun playing a hack and slash solo. It looks like a lot of fun though.

This game still rubs me the wrong way. It just seems weird how much it looks like Diablo III, and having Matt Uelmen doesn't help (although I certainly don't mind him doing more music, I just wish he was working on Diablo III)

This sound track is masterful. Too bad it doesn't go well with the gameplay in the video. But, you can always close your eyes and imagine something much more epic.
