It allows players to choose from some of Dungeons & Dragons' most iconic characters, theCompanions of the Hall, which include Drizzt the dark elf, Bruenor the dwarf, and humans Wulfgar and Catti-brie. Each character has a range of moves – 50 total – that create a fast-paced experience easy to pick up but with a depth that will hopefully keep players invested well-past launch.
As the name implies,Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Allianceis intended to be aspiritual successor to the originalBaldur’s Gate: Dark Allianceaction-RPG. There are some major differences, naturally. But overall the two are intended to be thematically similar, focusing on fun cooperative fantasy action with a compelling story to guide the way.
Not coincidentally, Wizards of the Coast recentlyrereleased the originalBaldur’s Gate: Dark Allianceon modern platforms. Released just this past week, those wanting to remind themselves of the original game before the newDungeons & Dragons: Dark Allianceis released no have that opportunity. It hasn’t been remastered, it’s still limited to local co-op, and it isn’t on Xbox Game Pass, but it’s still an option.
