Additionally, there is a hardcore mode where if the player's character dies, they are dead permanently. Torchlight includes a total of five difficulty levels, ranging from Very Easy to Very Hard. After the player finishes the main game, they can also access an infinite dungeon, the Shadow Vault. The levels in the dungeon are randomized, but the game includes many handcrafted quests and unique bosses. There is also a major boss fight every five floors, with a change in environment shortly after. The main story takes place along the entire length of the dungeon, culminating in the end boss on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Torchlight consists of one main dungeon, with the only outside area being the town of Torchlight. The champion must battle through rock and fire, through lost cities and ancient tombs, into the palace of the villain himself. Removing the source of the rot may purify the Ember, but it is a long and perilous journey. To survive, the townspeople must break the cycle of destruction they need a champion who can destroy the evil at its root. The heart of a villain has infused the Ember, and his darkness seeps through the veins. Evil bubbles up from the depths and threatens to overrun Torchlight as it has so many others. Buried along with the ore lays a buried past, a dangerous labyrinth of caverns and ruined civilizations, twisted creatures and the bones of those who came before. Miners dug deep beneath the streets of Torchlight, discovering ore richer than anyone had ever seen, but they were not the first to covet these mines.

Word of Ember crossed the world, and the city of Torchlight was built. The story centers around a mysterious ore called Ember, which is the essence of magic and the keystone in alchemy.
