FATE: The Traitor Soul vs Torchlight
FATE: The Traitor Soul
FATE: The Traitor Soul is the third installment in the popular and classic dungeon crawler game series, Fate. Set off on yet another exciting adventure - this time, to the Temple of Fate - in hopes of securing the treasures that are rumored to be hidden within. However, you'll need to first get through the Temple's Chamber of Trials consisting of numerous dungeons, caverns and tunnels. Like the original, you'll have a pet by your side, but you get to choose one out of five available. You can also choose a hero out of the three (an Orc, Cogger, or Elven warrior) to play with. Of course, having so many loot in your backpack, you can trade them in town or even gamble them away for a chance to get something better.Playing Fate will always bring back the good old memories of the hours you've spent playing it back when it was "the dungeon crawler game to play". Fans of classic dungeon crawlers will find this game an absolute delight, that's for sure!
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.
