Why you might like it

  • A genuinely single-player action-adventure, not an MMO — it's catalogued here because people searching for MMOs sometimes land on it by mistake.
  • The last game Runic Games (Torchlight, Torchlight II) ever released before the studio closed in 2017, told entirely through environmental storytelling with no dialogue or text.
  • A tight, well-reviewed Zelda-inspired exploration/puzzle/combat loop if you're looking for a solo action-adventure rather than a multiplayer world.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This is not a persistent-world MMO — there is no multiplayer, PvP, or shared server of any kind.
  • It's catalogued as "Action-adventure", a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • If you came here specifically to check whether this game is an MMO: it isn't, by the definition this site uses — but it may still be worth playing on its own terms.
