Template:Infobox Torchlight (series)
Key points
- Linux version only available through Ubuntu Software Centre.
- Extensive modding capabilities
- If you have an issue, be sure to check the knowledgebase first.
General Information
Availability
- The demo is available on the official website.
Best Version
- For Windows users, the GOG.com version of Torchlight is the best because it is DRM-free and includes extra downloads including artwork, soundtrack and a level editor.
- For Mac users, the retail version of Torchlight is the best, it is still DRM-free, but only includes an artbook, which is comparable to the GOG.com version.
- For Linux users, the Ubuntu Software Centre version of Torchlight is the only version available, and therefore the best. WINE emulation also works very well[1].

- Total Respec Mod - Adds 10 different respec potions into the game for resetting character's stats and skills.
Utilities
- Utilities can be found at Runic Games Fansite.
- These are not mods so don't download them with HotSpot.
- These are usually Windows-only.
TorchKit
- This is a portable settings and mod configuration editor for Torchlight which uncovers all hidden settings from "settings.txt", (but not local_settings.txt or Ogre.txt) configuration file which includes camera shake, blood, keybindings, automap zoom etc.
