So what does a new Dark Alliance game look like? Because we haven t actually seen it before now, except for an in-engine teaser that didn t give a lot away.
Now, though, I ve played it.
The biggest and most immediate difference is the camera angle, which is now over-the-shoulder, rather than zoomed out and looking down, as in a game like Diablo. This makes Dark Alliance more cinematic and better shows off the new setting of Icewind Dale. The old games were set in Baldur s Gate, if you recall. In the new game, it s wide open mountain ranges with snow, and forested areas, and there s a sense of space and grandeur that comes with them. A sense of big adventure.
Dungeons & Dragons Action RPG Dark Alliance Adventures to PS5, PS4 This June
You may remember seeing Dark Alliance at The Game Awards 2019. Its announcement trailer ended up being the source of many a meme thanks to its extremely awkward direction and edgy tone (here s a link to refresh your memory).
Anyway, Dark Alliance is back with actual gameplay (though brief) and a release date. It s arriving on both PS5 and PS4 this summer, from the 22nd June. Those who buy the game on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for free.
For those totally out of the loop, this is a co-op action title, which sees you control one of four famous Dungeons & Dragons characters: Drizzt Do’Urden, Catti-brie, Bruenor, or Wulfgar. Naturally, each hero demands a different style of play.
