You get to explore lots of suitably creepy dungeons, and there are several interesting characters to play as. There’s lots of red meat here for Forgotten Realms fans (yes, you can play as Drizzt), loot flies everywhere with wild abandon, and it’s hard to argue with that Dungeons & Dragons Monstrous Compendium.
That all said, I can’t say I didn’t get sucked into this stupid button-basher again, just like I did in my university days. It’s by and large the same Diet Diablo it was twenty years ago, and while I think a person can still have some mindless fun with it, it’s a tough game to recommend at the price it commands. Everything is a bit sharper graphically, but it doesn’t have any major improvements or even online play. This isn’t a fancy remake of Dark Alliance II, either. The Torchlight games, which rival Diablo to a far better extent than the Dark Alliance games, are also on Switch and they’re even cheaper. But the Dark Alliance games and sister title Champions of Norrath were good enough.īut we live in different times now, don’t we? I can pick up Diablo III for about the same price as this game on Switch if I catch a decent sale. We didn’t have a ton of choices for games like these on PlayStation 2, Xbox, or GameCube. And in that sense, they were fine games for the era. I mean, apart from the extremely dope PlayStation port of Diablo. Here’s the thing about the Dark Alliance games, friends: for console gamers looking to get their Diablo-style hack-and-slash looter fix, these were the McDonalds we had at home. I really wish this game wasn’t as expensive as it is. Let’s head on out! Reviews & Mini-Views Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II ($29.99)
We close things out with the usual lists of new and outgoing sales. The big one today is Frogun, a lovely-looking thing that I hope lives up to its promise. First I dive into the Forgotten Realms to review Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II, then I enter the afterlife for a little Avenging Spirit. In today’s article, I’ve got a couple of new reviews for you to look over. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 2nd, 2022.
