And £30 is a hell of a lot to play for a history lesson
Re-released 20th July 2022 on PC, Xbox and Switch for £30. The PlayStation version was held up at the last minute and is still not there a week later. I'm looking into it
This time, however, the beloved Black Isle Studios would make it. This was the house of Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale and Fallout, a bonafide RPG legend, and its involvement added a layer of intrigue and excitement to the game. But Dark Alliance 2 would also be the last game Black Isle would release, with Interplay closing the studio and laying off all of the staff months before release, and cancelling a Dark Alliance 3 in the process.
Abilities are greatly simplified, for instance. You've got a selection of them you can spend points on as you level up, making them stronger. You don't get all that dizzying choice of D&D character advancement, so it greatly simplifies it all. It's also, obviously, not turn-based, but built to be a button-mashing hack-and-slash, with some active abilities while others do sums behind the scenes.
Also, I don't know whether it's the remaster's fault or whether it's the game's foundational fault, but while the action runs smoothly at 4K , the cut-scenes do not and they're jerky, too. The audio mix is off for voices as well, with some nice and loud while others are hard to hear. And there are button prompts in the menus that don't seem to work at all. On top of that, there's a general feeling of sluggishness when mashing attacks and moving around.
