   I wasnt going to play it because of the poor reviews but I gave it a try and 14 hours in, the game is a lot of fun. For a small studio, theI wasnt going to play it because of the poor reviews but I gave it a try and 14 hours in, the game is a lot of fun. For a small studio, the graphics look pretty good, some of the environment textures are very high quality. The melee combat has a lot of depth to it with how you can trigger various moves and abilities by comboing dodge, light and heavy attacks. The game is crossplay between xbox and pc, and the community is welcoming and helpful. Even playing with randoms, it can be quite a fun experience as a decent amount of players have mics and actually use them.
   
   You level up quite fast especially if carried by higher level players, maybe a little too fast as it seems like the game scales up the power level of level 1 players so that even they can take on higher level mobs when playing with others. At first the combat is quite challenging as large enemies can be quite tanky, but your power level quickly scales up after you complete the first level and get lots of loot.
   
   This is definitely a game that is meant to be played coop, as it is quite tough solo but even just having 1 partner changes the game. The quickplay matchmaking works but it doesnt try to match you with people of similar power level, so new players can easily be paired with a max level player and end up playing something much harder than they expect. If they make it through though, they end up jumping up 8 whole levels rather than working their way up one at a time, kind of a good and bad thing as max level is only 20 and you can hit it within just an hour or two if carried.
   
   Looting in the game is quite fun on the first playthrough as theres tons of side areas and side quests you can stumble onto and explore. It's a lot of fun hopping around with a party of new friends you just met and searching every corner for new loot and gear. Like other dungeon crawler games there are various qualities and sets you can collect and they offer a small bit of customization to choose the look of most gear, some are locked.
   
   The stamina mechanic is quite annoying at first as it feels like youre always running low, and the degrsding stamina bar when using special abilities is a questionable choice. I see how it forces you to make smarter decisions of what situations to use the abilities rsther than being able to spam them. Once you level up a bit though, and have better gear, you're stamina can regenerate fast enough that it isnt a problem anymore. The game has some jank here and there, the issue with disconnects from the party after each level that was there on day 1 mostly dont occur anymore. I havent experience any game breaking bugs and have only encountered a few small glitches but quite rare compared to what others have been saying.
   
   If you have gamepass and are looking for a simple and fun coop dungeon crawler, I highly recommended this.… Expand

   Finished the game. Played with random's and friends. Got the full experience playing slowly and explored everywhere. I just can't get into theFinished the game. Played with random's and friends. Got the full experience playing slowly and explored everywhere. I just can't get into the D&D series anymore like I did with Baldurs Gate. Hardly any of the controls and mechanics work. The online is frustrating and unbearable at times. Animations and Graphics are sloppy. Boss and Enemy AI is hit and miss. I tuned out for most of the story, it felt like I was missing crucial info or context to it all. Something kept me playing though, hard to pinpoint what. Maybe cause it's on Game Pass. That's about all I would really pay to play this game. I know it's not what some people may have experienced but it was what I went through. Boring, Laggy, Buggy and Ugly. Agree or Disagree, go watch my review to get the full picture:https://youtu.be/nG7aCjLw88Y… Expand

   What a mess. There's the kernel for a really fun game here conceptually, but it's bogged down by clumsy and repetitive combat, bugs, and someWhat a mess. There's the kernel for a really fun game here conceptually, but it's bogged down by clumsy and repetitive combat, bugs, and some of the worst AI I've ever seen in a game. Enemies and bosses will often stand still while you kill them. The controls for special moves are terrible, and you often find your character executing crazy moves you had no intention of that get you killed. Even executing basic moves like charged shots doesn't register by the game half the time. Worst control responsiveness I've experienced in a game that I can remember, which is just a complete non-starter for a action game.
   
   There are many indications that this game was rushed or the developers were lazy. Slow contextual actions, like you can't click on ladders in combat for a few seconds, sometimes characters get stuck in animations, levels end with no indication that you're about to come across a boss fight. Multiplayer is a bit better, and that's obviously what the game was designed around. The mechanics are there to create a great synergistic combat system that requires teamwork, but it feels inept. I would give the multiplayer 4/10.
   
   Story is standard DnD fare, and was a bit juvenile.… Expand

   Wow... You know how everybody used to say Balan Wonderworld was the worst game of 2021 so far? Well I can honestly say this game is even worseWow... You know how everybody used to say Balan Wonderworld was the worst game of 2021 so far? Well I can honestly say this game is even worse than Balan Wonderworld in literally every way!
   The only positive thing about this game, is the good-looking cinematic cutscenes filled with weird but amusing dances, but Balan Wonderworld does even that better than this sorry pathetic excuse for a D&D game!
   
   Back in the day, before video games were a thing, everybody used to play Dungeons & Dragons passionately the same way gamers do with video games today, and back then all you had was a set of dice, a few plastic figures and a piece of cardboard. Video games were meant to be the future of fantasy role playing games, but in this case, D&D Dark Alliance was a STEP BACK in evolution! You're far better off playing real D&D with dice, plastic and cardboard! If there ever existed a D&D Tiger handheld game, I bet even that would be better than D&D Dark Alliance.… Expand
