What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Improving on its predecessor in almost every way, Dark Alliance 2's modern debut showcases idealized couch co-op action RPG gameplay which still holds up, even when you compare to some more modern and bigger budget titles.
Story: The plot was a lot more developed than the first game and added quests and content that was exclusive to the characters you picked to play.
It looked good (hardware demanding too, thanks to which porting it to GameCube proved to be quite a challenge), it was co-op-oriented and lots of us had fun playing it back in the days just because of all that.
The combination of perfect controls and the gameplay loop of combat, loot, explore is a joy to experience again in 2022.
There is M+KB support (although a controller is highly advised), and support for both higher resolutions and widescreen (including ultrawide).
Now, you might think that having five different playable characters is great, and to an extent it is, since you can easily get 100+ hours of gameplay if you decide to max level each character.
