Looks nice, will be interested to see how it is.

Yeah I'm at full mast after watching that, what of it?

Seriously though, awesome mix of influences at play here. Straight on to the wishlist it goes.

While personally, I've been preferring how Baldur's Gate 3 sticks true to the classic turn based gameplay, I can't deny that I thought this looks like a blast. Anxiously awaiting this one for sure!

Where is the gameplay in that Official GAMEPLAY Trailer?

Is this a sequel to Donkey Konga?

Basically any point where the camera is over the shoulder looks like gameplay to me, sans any UI elements that might be included. Though "teaser" might've been a more appropriate title for less than a minute of gameplay.

That title made me think of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II

I know the game was kind of jank, but I played it at just the right time in my life for massive nostalgia highs

Anyhow the name of this game mixed with the Beholder flying across the screen has got me interested

As it should, this is the spiritual successor to the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance games! I’m guessing they opted to just call this Dark Alliance since the classic Baldur’s Gate series was getting its revival/spiritual successor around the same time. Two new games with the Baldur’s Gate moniker could definitely be confusing.

Looks like the developer has only one other game to their name, Livelock. Very positive reviews (80%) on Steam though. Wizards of the Coast is publisher and game is $40, should be interesting to see how it's received.

Awesome. Love the mythology monsters like God of War. That's why Nintendo Switch sucks. It wont coming to Nintendo Switch which is unfortunately but that's ok.

 

[Reploid]

I'm as disappointed as the other guy.

Dat guitar though.... lol

Something that might be a proper fighting engine co-op and dungeon crawling in a franchise that I otherwise enjoyed back when?

Cautious optimism. I wanted something to replace Lord of the Rings War in the North as well.

This looks half-decent, 40 buckos is a fair price. All round epic.

NO. It will come to the switch. It's perfect for it. perfect. yes. yes.

I would love to see it on Switch but I doubt.
