Publisher Encore Software has announced it will bring Runic Games' fantastic Diablo-esque PC action RPG Torchlight to North American retail shelves for $20 on January 5, 2010, and that a Mac version will also arrive some time next year.

Developed by veterans of action RPGs including Diablo, Fate and Mythos, Torchlight was released for download on October 27 at the bargain price of $20 and is currently riding high in the sales charts of digital distributors Steam and Direct2Drive.

The 'TorchED' editor used by Runic itself in the development of Torchlight was delivered into the eager hands of the modding community earlier this week.

It's sort of unfortunate that this came out around the same time as Dragon Age, I would otherwise have bought it. My RPG play time is being utterly dominated by DA.

$20 is a steal. You'll get at least 15 hours of fun gameplay if you play through the game with only one character on normal.

This may be the only time I'll think and then say outloud that the publisher should be releasing this game to brick and mortar retail for MORE than $20. This game just has too much value. I hope the low starting price point doesn't have runic kicking themselves in a few months.

I never really played Diablo but I simply want to support a PC dev. I mean these guys are doing all the things to keep the PC community from needing Life support. mod tools to a rumor of upcoming co-op play. This is what a PC dev should be. I will be checking and BUYING their games from now on.

I am happy for Runic! It is a Great game and their developers actually care about the players and are extremely responsive. This is a game we should all get behind. Where other studios are going for the least common denominator - this group of people is trying something unique in today's marketplace and that is creating a community & sense of ownership in the game. I hope this helps them w/ the MMO and possible multiplayer.
