D&D Dark Alliance - co-op action brawler where you play Drizzt's party

Terrible... that music

Ozzy's voice has really gone to shit, hasn't it?

Did anybody mention that this would be a sequel to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2? They're fine games to play co-op... with a friend on a couch.

In fact, I dunno if co-op means anything special unless couch co-op. An online co-op game doesn't feel much different than a multiplayer game with a limit of 2 people. Yes, feelings matter lol. You can't physically slap your friend for trolling you by blocking every doorway.

This looks a lot better than I expected, combat looks honestly better than in some recent 4 player co-op brawlers games like Marvels Avengers.Edit just out it's only 40 that seems alright.

No commentary long gameplay:

Just looks boring, to be honest. Even looking past the bombastic animations, all of the action just looks very disconnected. Hitboxes appear large, the action/reaction dynamic looks very sluggish, and enemies HP spongy. I wasn't expecting much, but this isn't for me. While I thought the original Dark Alliance games were heretical to call themselves Baldur's Gate, I enjoyed playing them with friends for the Diablo clones that they were.

Nobody asked for this....
Also those animu animations... cut to 12 fps.... oof. Can the thread it's not even close to rpg.

 

[Hobo Elf]

This is some turbo cringe.

 

[a Goat]

looks very clunky

Honestly I don't see the appeal of this versus playing a MMO like The Elder Scrolls Online which has 35-40 high quality dungeons with veteran variants that feature their own mechanics, far better build and loot variety than anything you'll get in this game, looks and plays about the same but it also has DAoC-style three faction PvP, overland MMO content, raids etc.

This looks like an MMO without the variety or replayability of an MMO so why not just play an MMO?

Same. I was expecting W:tA - Earthblood levels of trash, at least this doesn't looks like something that should have been released two generations ago.

Bleh.
The Dark Alliance games are the short-ish Diablo clones you could literally play with anyone on your couch, with your retarded boomer parents, your girlfriend who never touched a controller, etc...
I don't really see the purpose in resurrecting the franchise though , much like Gauntlet a while ago.
My biggest worry is that it will actually suffer from the Dark Alliance label.

iirc the dark alliance games sold very well

looks like a mabinogi heroes also known as vindictus clone.

20 years ago or something, most zoomers don't know the series and the ones who played the old games will probably be disappointed.
That's always the gamble when you pull out a franchise name because it did well a long ass time ago.
I know that I will be disappointed if no reference is made to the cliffhanger at the end of DA2.

Yes, I miss it. The death of couch co-op basically killed my interest in multiplayer games. Just not the same. One of the reasons I personally have a soft-spot for Dungeon Siege III.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

same gameplay, different source

Spiritual successor. This one is called "Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance", which is why they're not using 3 in the title. Given the nostalgia factor, I think banking on a "long-awaited sequel that was canceled because Black Isle shut down" would be a better option than a soft reboot...

This is some turbo cringe.

Disregarding the cringe, this could turn out a decent hack and slash. If only it was single player instead of co-op.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

looks like shovelware crap tbh

Compared to a MMO, the gameplay here looks much more action/arcade than the average MMO, so it's much easier to pick up, especially for a coop game where you'd play with your buddies

Looks about similar to modern MMO combat

 

[Sacibengala]

This looks like decline on a scale not seen since Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

God, what a disgrace!!!

I love that its a loot driven game and that Drizzit will replace his two swords icingdeath and twinkle with randon shit he finds killing goblins.
