FATE vs Torchlight
FATE
FATE is kind of like the spiritual successor of the successful dungeon crawling franchise, Torchlight. Return to the glorious days of action RPGs by diving into the game's procedurally-generated dungeons, slaying monsters, stuffing loot into your backpacks, and developing your character from a scrawny adventurer into a battle-hardened one. You can also have fun with the game's trading system or you can simply try your luck with the NPC shopkeepers in the town of Grove. Like Torchlight, you can even adopt a pet - a dog or a cat - and evolve it into stronger creatures.FATE is the very first of an incredible series that doesn't only allow you to relive classic action RPGs, but also bring back feelings of nostalgia so strong that you might just cave in to your emotions. So, if you love dungeon crawlers, you'll want to grab this game for your Steam library.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
