Hi, I was looking for a fun dungeon romp in the style of Torchlight, but with mp capabilities to play with the wife. Only games here on GOG, please.

Any recommendations?

thanks.

Either <i>Din's Curse</i> or <i>Drox Operative</i> should be up your alley, but Din's Curse would be the closest (and the only one I've played); from what I understand, Drox's gameplay is a mix of elements from DC and its predecessor, Depths of Peril (also on the linked page, BTW, but which apparently lacks multiplayer) -- but IN SPAAAAAACE!

Torchlight is prettier and a bit more polished than Din's Curse, but the latter is quite customizable, and implements some neat ideas not seen in a lot of other ARPGs (having to actually complete urgent quests in a timely manner, lest your failure to eliminate threats quickly enough cause more problems to arise, up to and including the town being attacked by monsters (this feature can be turned off, too); denizens of the dungeon fighting with other, different types of monsters; disgruntled townspeople betraying the town (though this might only happen with the "Demon War" expansion installed; not sure); etc.).

You might also want to consider cross-posting this in General Discussion, as this forum doesn't see a lot of traffic, and you might not get a lot of recommendations (or not very quickly, at any rate).

Okay thanks :)
I'd highly recommend Victor Vran or Grim Dawn. Both are great ARPGs similar in play style to Torchlight, and both add stuff to the ARPG formula that differences them from your regular "Diablo-clones" (you can rotate the camera on both those titles, Victor Vran adds roll dodging and jumping/wall jumping, Grim Dawn has a bigger focus on story -- think Diablo meets Baldur's Gate, story-wise).

Victor Vran is probably the better choice out of the two, as it is more lighthearted, you basically just do dungeon-crawling and focus more on missions and goals; Grim Dawn is more story-heavy, even though you can still just play it for the loot and to kill enemies in a more dungeon-crawler hack-n-slash fashion. Victor Vran can also be played in multiplayer without having the need to use the GOG Galaxy client, which is mandatory for Grim Dawn (unless you play Grim Dawn via LAN, which doesn't require Galaxy).

For the time being, as long as Torchlight II, which has multiplayer, is not on GOG, these two I suggested are the closest things you can get.

[EDIT] Regarding customization, Grim Dawn is the better one, as you can play as a woman, in Victor Vran the multiplayer revolves around playing as "clones" of the titular Victor.
