Dark Alliance Gameplay and Hands-On Impressions
2,551Dark Alliance Gameplay and Hands-On Impressions
In this video, I was given the opportunity to go hands-on with Dark Alliance, the new hack n’ slash action RPG slated to release this June, developed by Tuque Studios and published by Wizards of the Coast. I got to co-op my way through the first Mission of the game with Jeff Hattem, the head of development on Dark Alliance, gaining some real insight into what players can expect. So what does Dark Alliance play like? Watch on to find out.

After getting over my initial disappointment that Dark Alliance is nothing like the original games, I tried to find the positives in this new iteration. The combat is fun, the multiplayer aspects will surely bring hours of enjoyment, and I love min/maxing and making Builds, which Dark Alliance appears to have a ton of.
If games like Lord of the Rings: War in the North or Godfall are your cup of tea then you will certainly have something to look forward to this June in Dark Alliance. However, if you were expecting a D&D “light” experience, much like the original games, then you will likely pass on this title. There is almost no actual Dungeons and Dragons in Dark Alliance, save for a few notable characters and locations, and Dark Alliance was clearly not aimed at D&D fans, but rather a younger audience that has likely never played D&D before.
There are some silver linings though. Dark Alliance is only 39.99 USD, and there are no micro transactions of any kind. This means you will purchase the complete experience, and it won’t cost you the price of a triple A title. Additionally, as I mentioned, there are already plans to add new content after launch, much of which will be free for players. So if you like what you see then you can expect more to come.
Dark Alliance releases for PC via Steam and Epic, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Playstation 4, and Playstation 5 on June 22nd of this year. We’re getting another hands-on play session with the game in a couple of weeks, so you can expect more updates on Dark Alliance as we get closer to release.
