Haven't seen a thread about this game. I purchased it from Steam last week for $10. It is developed by Runic games which is composed of a lot of the Blizzard North employees. This game is very similar to Diablo, except that I would consider it to have more of a WoW style art direction.
There are three classes to play. Effectively, they are: warrior, ranger, and mage. Each class comes with the same pet companion (choice of dog or wolf). I am playing the alchemist (mage) and liking it quite a lot. There are three skill trees to choose from for each class. The alchemist has tree selections which allow play as a pure mage, summoner, or battle mage. You can, of course, mix all the skill trees as you see fit. You can seemingly also skip levels, as the only barrier to skill points seems to be level, not prior points spent. Kind of interesting.
It's a fun game. I think anyone that likes the Diablo series would also like this game. The retail price on Steam is $20, but it is constantly on sale for $10 or $5 if you are paying close attention. Runic games has a twitter feed and they announce the sale prices if you are interested in getting it at a bargain price.
