Good game, lazy port

No, honestly, you can't change any options in-game, even screen resolution is out of your bounds. Thankfuly, they did put some keybinding change possibility, but it's very recommended to play with gamepad, because in that case you'll save yourself some nerves. Imagine "Bard's Tale" (2004). Now put everything you'd imagined in D&D surroundings. Now you have an image of "Dark Alliance" in your head. I can't say that this game is bad or anything - because it's not - but with such a price they could not really have hope in such a lazy port, because it's basically a PS2-port with wide-screen resolutions support and keyboard+mouse input (and some ridiculous problems like crash to desktop while trying to use ladder from boss area to get back to town - don't be like me, use teleport instead). My overall impressions are "better than expected", but no revelations happened. The game is fine. The port is meh. The price is too high.

Would expect more for the price

I loved this game on Xbox and PS2, and its sequel plus the two Champions of Norrath games by the same studio on the same engine are classics worth getting a PS2 and tracking down the discs for! They don't emulate well on some hardware, so I was eager for a modern port. But this frankly doesn't impress and feels overpriced for the effort I see.

Nostalgia Meets Modern Gaming - An Old PS2 Classic Revisited on PC

Growing up during the PS2 era, it was both a surprise and a treat to discover that one of my all-time favorite games had found its way onto the PC. Reliving those gaming moments felt even more special this time around, especially when compared to my previous experiences with emulators like PCSX2. What sets this port apart right from the get-go is its native design – it's not merely an emulation. This distinction means that the game not only looks tremendously superior but also runs with a smoothness and stability that I never experienced when emulating it on PCSX2. The sheer beauty of this port, with its ability to play in native resolution and support for native frame rates, took me by surprise. The graphics, which I fondly remember admiring on my old CRT television, are now sharper and cleaner than I could have imagined. Yet, there are hiccups. The game sometimes "locks" on the loading screen, forcing a PC restart. Also, changing sound outputs requires game restarts, and the music, while nostalgic, occasionally drowns out dialogues. Another hiccup is the intermittent controller disconnection during map transitions, which I troubleshoot via my PC’s Bluetooth settings. Pros: Enhanced graphics, crisper than the original. Stable gameplay. Supports both mouse/keyboard and controller. A trip down memory lane for fans. Cons: Game can "freeze" on loading. No dynamic sound output detection. Controller issues during map changes. Overpowering music at times. Concluding thoughts, if I were to evaluate this game solely on its technical merits, it might only garner a 1/5 star rating, especially considering its price. But, factoring in the weight of nostalgia and the vast improvement over emulation, I'd be inclined to rate it 8/5. Deducting for the noted hiccups and pricing, the final tally is a solid 4/5. For enthusiasts of the original, the journey, despite its imperfections, remains worthwhile.

Bad port of a good game

When it comes to ports from PC and console devs go out of their way to make it work on consoles, latest example the DIABLO 2 RESURRECTED console version actually puts those players at an advantage control-wise. Unfortunately that is rarely the case with PC ports of console games. A terrible example would be DARK SOULS. BALDUR'S GATE: DARK ALLIANCE isn't an terrible port, but it still is a bad port. While graphically it's been scaled up, the controls are just terrible with mouse & keyboard. Yes, the game was designed for consoles, but devs make games designed for PC work well on consoles and given the extra time between the PS5/XB1 release and the PC release of the game what we get is unacceptable. The controls are unintuitive and clunky. For the little effort that went into this port the price of $30 is an audacity.

Diablo's Gate

I had to try this aPRG since I have played Baldur's Gate series and the first Diablo. The PC port of this PS2 game is done well otherwise, excluding the UI/UX and the mouse + keyboard controlling. This flaw can be seen in dialogue menus and in other in-game menus too. So Xbox controller is must to have for the full gaming enjoyment. The combat system of the game is okay, though aiming the small fast-moving targets is challenging and smaller enemies will just circle around you rapidity before attacking. There is a blocking system but there are no other combat tactics, like counter attacks and dodging. So lots of hit points and healing potions matter like usually in aRPGs. And not sure if armor rating has any impact in the game combat. This aRPG seems quite simplistic compared to E.g. Diablo: no item identify, no magic wands, no equipment repairing, no dual wielding weapons or such. And there are not much use for money besides just buying new equipments. There are some puzzle elements to bring more variety to the gameplay, though I didn't like the platforming puzzles in this game. This game has some replay value with random loot and with the three character classes which is little for an aRPG. This aRPG doesn't support many play styles equally, the melee combat seems the only viable way. There are not good selection of ranged weapons, and the aiming is difficult. The enemies will engage in melee combat so quickly you cannot do much ranged attacks. And browsing the feats and the spells from the list is frustrating. It's fun to notice there are some familiar voice actors in this game: The voices of Minsc, Dynaheir and Sarevok from the Baldur's Gate PC series. And the voices of Gimli and Frollo too.
