Xbox 360: Looking for a Dungeon Siege type game recommendation

[davmat787]

I'm in the market for a light hack n slash rpg for my 360. I really enjoyed the Dungeon Siege series back in the day, anyone have a recommendation? I came across Torchlight, it is available for 1200 points which does not seem too bad. Any others I should check out?

Thanks.

EDIT: game does not have to take place in an underground dungeon type setting, although that does seem to often be the case.

Try Dungeon Siege 3 when it comes out next month.

I think Hunted is out or will be out soon and is made in that style. It's a Bethesda game so it has better than average odds of being good.

Torchlight would be your best bet.

Did not know that, thanks for the tip. I have been out of touch with the RPG hack n slash scene for quite awhile admittedly. Think I will wait for some more recommendations, but it looks like Torchlight fits the bill until DS3 comes out on May 31st. However, from what I remember playing DS3 on the PC, I am curious how well it can be played on a console controller. Seems like there was a ton of keyboard shortcuts and combos you needed to learn for maximum carnage.

Thanks!

Excellent, thank you all gentlemen. Will wait for end of day and buy Torchlight tonight if nothing else pops up. $20 bucks to tide me over until DS3 arrives seems reasonable.

Sacred 2 may also fit the bill, although I haven't tried it personally.

It's 1200 points, or $15 if I recall correctly.

Even better then. Will check out the Sacred 2 recommendation as well, keep em coming guys although it looks like most consider Torchlight FTW. I only heard of this one for the first time today, popped up on my dashboard. Looking for something other than FPS and I really enjoyed DS1 & DS2 back in the day.

You agreeing with me or what, JoPh? LOL

I really can't think of any other Diablo-esque isometric view-based RPGs.

 

[American Gunner]

I have often thought about playing Sacred 2, because I like games like this, but I heard it wasn't the best.

 

[davmat787]

How do you guys think Dungeon Siege III will play (from a controller standpoint) on a 360, vs. the PC? While I logged a ton of hours in DS1 & 2, that was a long time ago and have not played this type of game on a console.

Just noticed the full download of Torchlight is only 196 megs. While file size isn't the best metric, that does seem small. Is it a really short game or decent for $15?

 

[American Gunner]

Each dungeon has like 30 something levels to it, so you can make it last. I know that DS3 is supposed to be co-op, along with Hunted that comes out around the same time and looks to be a similiar game.

A lot of the textures and models are reused quite a bit.

That makes sense, thank you. Also noticed from a review that much of the loot is generated randomly, which would cut down the image size as well.

Yup, there are sets but pretty much the rest of the loot is ROG.

The demo for Too Human was fun, though the reviews of the full game were mixed. It's only $15 at Amazon.

 

[jrphoenix]

Play Too Human... it's better than the ratings. I liked it!

 

[American Gunner]

I put in over 100 hours alone on one of my characters on Too Human. That game was a blast.

So you guys are saying that the game that basically sunk the company that should have been making Eternal Darkness 2 actually doesn't suck? Wth.

I've played torchlight for 20+ hrs so far, and I think I'm on lvl 22 of 35 for the story dungeon.

torchlight is there 2 players mode for this?
