As I recall, this is one of the best ways to play the game, but then again, it’s been a long time. Personally, I liked crushing stuff with the fighter, but I remember trying them all out.īaldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance supports 2-player local co-op, so you can camp on the couch with a friend and beat up rats, trolls, and all kinds of other classic baddies as you watch numbers go up. You can play as a dwarven fighter, a human archer, or an elven sorceress, each with their own special powers and skills. If you got bored of one character, it was easy enough to play one of the other archetypes. The cycle of leveling up, looting, and smashing through the various areas as different characters was an undeniably compelling loop. The original game was well-liked enough, but sort of became a cult classic over the years, as a Diablo-esque monster masher over other D&D offerings of the era that were more complex RPG fare.
